House was everything as described and more. Floor plan is great. The sunset views are amazing. Owner was extremely responsive and helpful. There’s lots of room to spread out. There’s a little den near the bedrooms that can be closed off. My 12 year old son put an air mattress in it to have his own room, even though there were more than enough beds. Everyone was comfortable on our multigenerational vacation.
The house was very accomdating for our family of 10 people. We cook and the kitchen was very well supplied with cooking utensils,pots, etc. Sunsets on the sound were gorgeous!
We had a wonderful week and everything could not have been better. The house was perfect for our large family. Thank you, Arthur
Fantastic house with great sunset views! The beach was great too! Very nice experience!
My three generations enjoyed two full weeks at Figure Eight Island and never felt like we were on top of one another or in each other's way. This is a huge house with lots of room to spread out! As promised, we did see dolphins dancing in the channel behind the house and our children enjoyed late afternoon swims off the dock. The kitchen is well-stocked and we cooked most of our meals in, spending long days on the beach and leisurely evenings in the house. We had excellent communication with the owner and she was responsive to the issues we encountered. The biggest negative is that the basement bedrooms are musty; I would recommend keeping both dehumidifiers running all the time. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the opportunity to vacation with all our family together.
Owner of this property was the most helpful in suggestions from fishing to eating locations etc. Very short walk to the beach and that was awesome as so few people on the beach so truly a relaxing experience. Great area to dock the boat and run out to fish at anytime. Actually fishing from the dock was great too.
We had a large group of family and friends for Thanksgiving week. The house was perfect for this type of getaway. We cooked thanksgiving dinner for 15 without a problem. Everyone loved the visit. Marsh views and sunsets were spectacular.
Our family had a wonderful stay at 3 Sandy Point. The location is excellent with easy access to the beach and the bike path . We saw beautiful sunsets from the spacious deck almost every evening. The interiors are well appointed and comfortable with a cook's kitchen. We look forward to returning!
This house worked well for our family of three generations - lots of space, GORGEOUS views, nice porch, good dock, close beach access, and big dining table. Even though the house is dated, the kitchen is stocked with every serving dish imaginable! The biggest drawback is the downstairs is very humid. There is one dehumidifier that can't quite handle the job. The situation could be improved with a dehumidifier in each of the 3 bedrooms that is permanently installed so the water bucket doesn't need to be emptied every day.
Our family had always stayed in oceanfront properties. This year we made reservations only a month or so prior to vacation, so chose this property on the inland side, and boy are we glad we did! The house has an enormous, beautiful deck overlooking the inland waterway. spent every possible minute out there, from morning coffee to wine at sunset. It was quiet and peaceful, exactly what I needed. The owner Bunnie is extremely responsive. For example, during our first morning a next door neighbor’s HVAC started making a loud continuous noise (they were not staying there at the time). Bunnie was on it immediately contacting everyone, and very soon the noise went away. We really appreciate the peacefulness of the property and attention of the owner.
