Wonderful views of the islands. Excellent beach. Close to town and attractions yet secluded. Great house layout with a well equipped kitchen. Plenty of deer to enjoy on walks (keep your dog on a leash!). Lighted freighters passing in the night is a bonus with an evening wine on the deck, beach or at the fire-pit. The cleanliness and quality of everything in the home made it pleasantly comfortable.

This was a piece of heaven. The location. The property. Glen Arbor and the surrounding area are beautiful. The profile promised a lot and it over delivered. The leasing company and co-hosts were professional, friendly and responsive. Could not score it higher if I tried.

5 Stars – A Perfect Stay in Every Way

We had an absolutely fantastic week at this property—everything exceeded our expectations. The home is beautifully designed, spotless, and fully equipped with high-end finishes and thoughtful touches throughout. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed and at home.The kitchen was a dream to cook in, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and every room offered something special—from the cozy living spaces to the spa-like bathrooms. We especially appreciated the peaceful setting and how quiet and private the property felt, while still being just minutes from local attractions and restaurants.The host was also responsive and gracious, providing all the details we needed for a seamless check-in and stay. We’ve stayed at many vacation rentals over the years, and this one ranks at the very top. Highly recommend—would return in a heartbeat!
