This has to be the best property we have stayed at yet. The house was equipped with everthing you need. Everything was right at your fingertips. Location was excellent as well, ver close to everything, restuarants, beach, souviner shops, even St Armands Circle was not far away. Just the perfect place to get away.

This well-appointed home with modern amenities is quiet, comfortable and on the water. Watch boats go by, fish jump out of the water and a variety of waterbirds. We were fortunate to see wild parrots land on a nearby tree! Enjoy the peaceful view from two sets of sliders, back porch and dock, or explore the many beaches, restaurants and shops.

We LOVE staying here! The cutest little getaway! The host is attentive and always great. This is a piece of paradise tucked away-just a short walk from great restaurants, and a little drive to the beach. Will always recommend this stay!

Comfort by the Sea We had a great time at the Gray Fulford House. Two bedrooms was perfect for our family. The pull out couch in the second bedroom was very comfortable. So easy to get to the beaches, though plan carefully if you have to go out on the weekends. We had to run to the store and it took forever to get back to the cottage, as everyone was trying to get to the beach. We loved using the kayaks and seeing all the birds, lizards and fish. It was a quiet neighborhood, but the few random people we saw out and about were very friendly. The owner was quick to fix the bikes as my husband got a flat tire on his ride. The deck stairs and dock into the water are a bit different than the photos online, but I'm guessing this is due to the hurricane last year. Still very safe and sturdy to go on though.
