We loved this property! The dock outside was perfect for our kids and jet skis. The kitchen was appointed well enough. I was a little uneasy about the 12-13 year old boys sleeping in the bunk room downstairs, as it’s completely separated from the main house, but they did ok.

Beautiful house and area. Was as the pictures show. Close walk to the beach. The Kayaks and bay were a lot of fun. Worked great for our family. There were a few things to note: the large bed was extremely loud with the slightest move because the headboard hit the wall (it was hard to sleep when it was so loud), the dryer would not shut without slamming and adjusting a piece several times, the wagon's wheel was rusted off (not a big deal, we just bought one to take home) and the hot tub had a lot of sand in it when we arrived.

Awesome

This place was amazing. We are long time visitors to SPI, and this by far the best rental. Plenty to do- kayaking, fishing and hot tub. Unlike a hotel room, you can still continue to enjoy the evening with all kinds of activities without leaving the premises. Highly recommended.

My family stayed for a week, and had a lovely stay at The Blue Dahlia! The host is very attentive, and reached out to me during our stay because they had just received their first less-than-stellar review from the stay prior, and wanted to make sure everything was as it should be for us. I appreciate how quickly they responded to the issues mentioned in the prior review. The prior review mentioned the hot tub being dirty and I did confirm for the host that it was full of sand. It turns out there was a mix up on the schedule of the cleaning. She promptly had the guy come out and clean it up so we were able to use it. It was wonderful and the kids loved it!! The house was comfortable, and clean. Shower was fantastic. The bed frames are very squeeky, and the sheets did keep popping off (the mattress is deep but the sheets are standard depth and polyester), but this did not affect our stay, overall! A new set of deep cotton sheets, and this is a non-issue, so I am certain the hosts will address that, as they truly want their guests to enjoy the stay. I would absolutely recommend this home, we had such a lovely stay and the view from the back deck was delightful while eating breakfast If for any reason you have an issue, reach out to the hosts. They will make it right! Thank you again for a lovely stay, we hope to come back soon!
