Great Family Home
We enjoyed staying at this property for our family of 6. We loved that it was a newer property and the island is wonderful. We did have some concerns. The first thing is the breaker kept getting tripped on the fridge and washer. This created an issue when we arrived and the fridge was hot and we had just arrived with $400 worth of groceries. We flipped the breaker and two days later it happened over night again. Not sure if this means there is an electrical issue, but it also did when washing clothes. Another note for future renters, there are no extras like salt, sugar, foil: things you might usually find in a rental house. Otherwise, everything else was great.

We loved the place and location. We lucked out with amazing weather - I’d rent again here. Our only suggestions are a coffee table and maybe little better layout with the tv room furniture.

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay at The Anchor Holds. It was spacious and convenient to everything we wanted to do. There were only 2 wash clothes in the entire house and the kitchen didn’t have oils, salt/pepper or condiments so bring that with you. The master bathroom was amazing and the fenced in dog area was helpful. We would stay here again.

Perfect getaway for our doggy beach trip!
House was perfect for our doggy beach trip! Grateful to find a location that was accomodating with our fur babies. Reps answered all of our questions in a timely manner and check-in/out was very easy. Location is perfect, quick 5 min walk across the street to the beach and a quick drive to the local restaurants. Inside the house, we had everything we needed from kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, and an outdoor shower. I would definitely recommend to any group!!
