    We absolutely love this home. We have stayed here several times and the view is amazing and the home is very comfortable. We saw bald eagles each day and collected sea glass. Although the weather did not cooperate, we did enjoy visiting new areas.

    This was our second year spending a week in Ophelia and it was fantastic! The kids enjoyed the beach and pool as expected. The adults were able to have peace and relaxation in the quiet neighborhood. Mark was responsive and gave a quick update on the house amenities. We had a blast! Thank you!

    We had a wonderful stay at Mark & Val’s property! The location was perfect and our girls loved the pool. Although Hurricane Erin tried to ruin our trip, we still had days of perfect sunshine! We would absolutely stay here again.

    Very nice property, nice beach, great pool. Good WiFi. All in all I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this property again. Just FYI Sunday-Tuesday most businesses are closed in this country setting, but I’m good with that

    Val and Mark were lovely hosts and quickly responsive to our few inquiries. Our grandchildren loved the pool especially night swimming in the magical colored lights. They played outdoor games, collected shells, and made s'mores in the fire pit. The house was very comfortable with nicely sized rooms. The hosts have curated their home with lovely art objects that give it a wonderful vibe. There was plenty of room indoors for everyone and many sweet little garden spots outdoors if you wanted solitude. We were lucky to spend the week watching a pair of bald eagles with a flight path close to the shoreline sitting area. Unfortunately, we were here in the middle of jellyfish season and were unable to swim in the bay. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

    Lovely house. Great if you have young kids. Pool was wonderful. The unfortunately the jellyfish were awful and we were only able to admire it from afar. Good house for multiple families with kids. Spent many rainy days/nights playing games and doing arts and crafts and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other.

    The house is in a very rural area and secluded. Very beautiful house and highly organized. House was comfortable and fit our 2 families very well. We enjoyed the beach and pool daily and had a grocery store within 20 minutes where we purchased our food. Neighbors were very friendly with no issues. Overall the hosts communicated very well and provided us with all the things we needed. First couple of days were very buggy with lots of flies and mosquitoes. The beach had lots of jelly fish on those days too. Nothing the host could do about that but something to plan for for those looking to stay in the summer.

    This lovely home is located on a very tranquil piece of property. Surrounded by eagles, osprey and heron. The home is very clean and very organized. It is located on the bay with a private beach. The pool is perfect for children. My family had a wonderful time swimming, fishing, crabbing and playing on the beach. It's a perfect vacation home!

    Lovely property. Our family had a nice relaxing week. We enjoyed the pool, as the beach had a ton of jellyfish during our stay. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a laidback relaxing stay.

    This property exceeded our expectations! Pictures are typically staged to showcase highlights of the home, but this place is even better in person! What we noticed right away was how clean this home was. Pair that with a great pool and amazing views and it makes for a perfect vacation getaway. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, the fire pit, and making meals together. The house was spacious enough to accommodate our family of 6 with plenty of space. We will definitely be back!

    This property checked all of our boxes (pool, 5 bedrooms, fishing) and our entire family had a great week. It was extremely relaxing. The hosts really have thought of everything and absolutely everything is labeled for ease of finding. We would definitely stay here again.

    This Ophelia beach house was amazing! We spent our week fishing from the beach, swimming in the pool, grilling, and spending quality time together as a family. The house had every amenity we could need, plus added extras that made it feel at home. The check in and out process was very simple, and Mark was a great host. We are looking forward to booking another trip in the future.

    This home, property, pool and beach area was wonderful! We grilled out, had a fire, rented a kayak, enjoyed the pool, played yard games and fished the beach. We saved a bald eagle and a horseshoe crab, used crab traps, caught a stingray and other fish. I could go on and on. Nothing negative, except it was biting black fly season, and they are ruthless. House has everything we needed and we big ang very nice. My 3 year old grandson loved the deck and screenroom and we all enjoyed the yard games. You are out of the way of cities, lights and people. The patio around the pool has neat lights and the pool was lighted at night. Thank you for letting us stay!

    We had an amazing time and the weather was very enjoyable. The owners have made some changes to there home and they are perfect! they have taken out a wall and really opened up the dining area and the bay can be seen as you eat. I love the upstairs balcony, it improves the view. I have taken many photos from there even a sunrise. Along with my grandchildren, we found over 300 pieces of sea glass and even an arrow head. Truly recommend. Diane and Mark
