The house was in excellent condition and well maintain... Very comfortable for everyone. I highly recommend this property. We had some trouble with the refrigerator cooling. But we finally got it worked out. Our only recommendation would be for a ramp to be installed. We had five or six people ... seniors.. It was very difficult for them to navigate the stairs. Once we got upstairs on the balcony, all was well. We do plan on returning next year.

This beach house is absolutely amazing. It is the perfect spot for large families and gatherings. We had about 40 family members in town for the weekend, and we were all so comfortable. The bedrooms with a bathroom in each bedroom are such an added plus and made it so easy for everybody to have their own space. The living and dining area is so spacious that we were all able to comfortably sit, eat, play games (Bingo, cards, dominoes) and even line dance "Boots on the Ground", etc. The kitchen area is a dream with 2 islands and double sinks in each island and multiple burners on the stove. It makes it so easy to have several cooks in the kitchen preparing meals. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The beach is easily accessible and has a very nice walkway from the house leading directly to the beach. There are not many homes close by which makes it almost feel like you have your own private beach. The sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking.The new Pirates play area that was just built was super fun for the kids, in addition to the Theater room and Media room. This house has everything you need. We had a few minor glitches, but the host Andrew was super responsive. We had such a wonderful time creating cherished memories that we plan to come back next year.Cathy Morris-Jimmerson

Great house and great location, with amazing privacy for a beach house. Impressive walkway to the beach. Kids enjoyed the theater and game room. Host was very responsive. If you're bringing a lot of people, be prepared to provide additional plates, utensils and drinking cups. Overall, definitely would consider a return trip.

Great place to stay with a large family. House was great in everyway. Kitchen was well equipped and the kids loved the media room. Only draw back is it’s a public beach, so if you’re staying for the weekend, I would recommend getting to the beach by 9 to secure you a place in front of the house. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful spacious space for big family gathering (32 total)
We had a truly enjoyable stay, the home is impressively spacious, and we especially loved that each room had its own private bathroom. The large kitchen was ideal for our group, offering a lot of seating for meals and gatherings. The layout is fantastic for our families. Walking path to the beach.That said, there were a few areas that could use some attention. Upon arrival, we felt the downstairs floors were sandy and we vacuumed it. There were also cheese smudges on some cabinets, and drawers. The housekeeper was still finishing up around 5 p.m., bless her heart, she was doing her best!While the home itself is beautiful, a deep cleaning and a few maintenance updates would make a big difference:• Several toilets had noticeable rings around the base and urine smell.• Toaster: right side not functioning - need replacement.• Dishwasher: left door doesn’t close properly, we did not use.• Minor wall damage: holes behind doors from doorknobs• Jack and Jill bathroom: right sink drains very slowly• Rust came from some bathrooms shower-heads. Note: charcoal grills not propane.Despite these issues, we truly enjoyed our time here and see tremendous potential in this property. With a little extra care, it could be absolutely perfect!

This was a fantastic house for a week at the beach with a large family. There were 35 of us and the proximity to the beach was unmatched. The theater room was an amazing hideout for the kids/teens and it was so nice to have an actual bed for everyone in our group. Almost every bedroom had its own bathroom as well, which really helped.A couple things that could use improvement: First, the kitchen is not properly stocked for a group this size. There were only 8 dinner and 8 salad plates. The quantity of utensils and cups was similar. Also, there is only one bath towel per person with no extras to be found anywhere. The seating area in the living room only contains a sofa, love seat, and a chair, so it was difficult for the entire family to gather in that location. Finally, there was a big problem with ants everywhere. The house needs a deep cleaning, not just a "straighten things up" cleaning.Overall, this was a great find!

Our stay was AWESOME!
This beach mansion was absolutely perfect for our family reunion!Every bedroom having its own bathroom was such a game-changer—it made getting ready a breeze for our big group. The host was excellent with communication and made everything easy from start to finish. The kitchen was spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed—pots, pans, knives, and more—which made cooking our family meals together a joy.The beach access couldn’t have been better—there’s a bridge with ramps on both sides just steps from the back of the house, making it super convenient for everyone. Best of all, the kids (from toddlers to teens) had an amazing time!We made so many great memories here and would absolutely stay again.

Excellent house for big groups
We were four families with eight adults and 14 kids. This house was amazing for us. There was enough room that we could have another family of five join us and possibly more. Everything is in really great working order and the house looks amazing. So many places for the various kids to go play when we weren’t at the beach.

This was a perfect spot for our group of moms to bring our kids after prom. The house had every thing we needed. The house was somewhat secluded so you almost felt like you were on a private beach! We had a minor mishap, but the owners responded quickly and did their best to rectify the situation. Would highly recommend for any large group!

We absolutely loved The Anchor! The house is massive with plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The beds were divine. There was enough table space for 25 people to work on projects. The view of the ocean and bay are spectacular! The boardwalk made accessing the beach easy for long walks on the beach. The beach house is private with no other homes close by. Even though we had a few hiccups, Andrew addressed any issue. This is our new favorite retreat home. We can’t wait to come again next year!

This property is a 5-star rating. This property was as advertised. We were very pleased with the privacy of the location and the beach access. There was a trash can in the kitchen that smelled of dead fish, and it permeated through the cabinets and the kitchen. We took the trash can outside and cleaned it thoroughly and replaced the bag, problem solved!

Amazing Getaway Space
Had a wonderful time at the Anchor! The space was perfect for our needs with soooo much room for everyone to hang out - from the spacious dining tables where we played board games, the living space with ample sofa seating for gathering around a puzzle, the theatre room for a more secluded, private experience, the amazing patio space, the balcony on the second floor, and to the gaming nook. It also has direct access to the beach, split off from many of the other beach houses so there's a more private feel to it. The bedrooms were cozy, clean, and modern, and the amount of bathrooms was so great for our group.The only thing I'd caution people with is that Google Maps didn't do a good job of directing me to the actual location when I typed in the address. You may have to search "The Anchor" along with the physical address to find the right spot!
