Stunning Direct Calibogue Sound Views From this Peninsula Sealoft on Deer Island

The property was unique with most space on second floor with floor to ceiling wrap around windows that faced beautiful view overlooking water. It was immaculate and comfortable.

The host was fantastic and quick to respond. The views from the home were fantastic. Many times once you check in you feel that the property is not as advertised. The property was even better in person.

The house was adequate overall, but not as represented in several important ways, especially considering the price and added fees. The ocean view was nice, but the house itself felt dated and was not particularly clean upon arrival. There were bugs and debris under the beds, stains on the carpet, and the dishwasher was full of stagnant water when we arrived, which created a strong odor throughout the house. The refrigerator door also would not consistently close properly.The most frustrating issue involved the amenities. The listing advertised pool access and even referenced the South Beach Marina pool (for an additional fee), but the host failed to mention that it was closed during our stay. We were then directed to another pool option that was also closed. This was a major disappointment, as our family specifically planned around having pool access during the trip. Additionally, the listing references a hot tub/spa, but there was no actual hot tub available.The pet fees were also extremely high and added up quickly per animal on top of the already expensive stay.Overall, the location and view were the positives, but the cleanliness, outdated condition, inaccurate amenity expectations, and mounting fees made this feel overpriced for what was delivered.

This was my husband and my third time staying here on Deer Island and we LOVE it! Had an issue with the keypad code not working when we first arrived, but I contacted the host who immediately answered & resolved the issue. We travel with two large golden retrievers & we’re grateful that this place accommodates us. They love it just as much as we do! You simply cannot beat this location and the views!

Amazing location. Comfortable beds. Host supplied lots of the basics and was quick to respond to questions. Loved having our dog with us on vacation!

What a beautiful view! The daily walks to Harbor Town were perfect! Highly recommend this location.

We stayed in this unit on the last week of summer 2025.I don’t generally write reviews, most of you probably don’t for the same reasons. I will though, if I am particularly impressed with the subject.Pros • The view. If you want nature, it’s as raw as you’ll find it on HHI. No pythons eating alligators or vice versa, but a good slice of the local biosphere is represented. • The appliances, new and in good condition.Cons • Unit readiness. We had requested, were granted and paid an additional fee for an early arrival. When we arrived just before our allotted time for our self check-in, the unit had not been cleaned and prepped. • Furnishings. If any of the furniture was purchased new or purchased at all, I’ll eat your hat. When I was a college student, the furnishings looked just like mine. • HVAC may have been adequate if 40% of the blinds on the western-exposed floor-to-ceiling windows were not FUBAR. In the afternoon, with a 74 setpoint, the main room was at 84. • Inoperable lighting and outlets. Most worked, but it was hit-or-miss. • Finishes. The millwork was more reminiscent of a fish shack with rough lumber (painted, though) on doorjambs and other openings. We have stayed on Deer Island previously and love it. If I were staying at an eco-lodge in Costa Rica, I wouldn’t be writing this review. The unit is simply not ready for commercial rental.

Had an awesome stay at this property. Was exactly as described and absolutely beautiful. Very easy to find and close to the heart of harbor town. Will definitely be back!!

Great management and facilities. Everything worked great!

This was our 3rd stay at this property. We love the views and the proximity to Harbour Town. But best of all are the deer that come to visit every day. :)

Couldn't be happier with our fun and unique place in deer island. The views were unbelievable and we had so much fun feeding the deer. Wish we could've stayed for longer. The only downside was the place would get very hot in the afternoon sun, so you'd need to put down the blinds, which obviously affected the view. And the decor, carpet, and overall place is a little dated. All minor things compared to how happy we were with the place! We hope to be back soon.

Great location, walkable to Harbour Town, and amazing view. Great for adults and couple of kids. Highly recommended, especially if you come by boat and get a slip in the yacht basin.

We love staying at this house, the views, the animals, biking to the beach, kayaking with dolphins and manatees...I think this is our 13th stay in this house and it's still magical for us.

My husband, 2 large dogs and I stayed here last summer and enjoyed ourselves immensely so decided to stay again this year! Absolute perfect location for walking around Harbour Town, so close to tons of shops and restaurants. The place has all the amenities you need, a stocked kitchen, beach gear, etc. The living room area still got a bit hot during the heat of the day with the sun streaming in, but the view is so amazing you don’t want to put the blinds down! We plan to stay here every year when we come back to the island. 10/10 recommend!
