The beach is just 3 miles away driving, 1 mile as the crow flyes. We offer plenty of dinning options and shopping. The owner lives in the rear of the property and will be happy to help with spa and dinner reservations as well as any other local info you may need. You will not find another property like this one. The cottage sits on 15 bay front private acres and some of our guests never leave the farm. We offer hikes thru the ecologically restored fields with the trails marked with native tree varieties, observation platforms overlooking the wetlands and osprey nests as well as swimming and clamming in the shallow bay lined with fabuolous sandy beaches at the bay's edge. Great for kids and pooches. Take a picnic packed by the owner and relax and forget about ever going home !!!! When you get back to the lovingly restored cottage rinse off in the awesome large outdoor shower, prepair a meal on the outside grill, and than kick back around the backyard firepit and make some smoores. When the kids go to bed take a nice long dip in the hottub which is compleatly private. Than sit on one of the decks and watch the stars.
The sunsets are just fantastic over the bay and a late afternoon walk is just what the doctor ordered.

We also offer horseback riding ( with advance reservations), and your kids will love meeting and playing with the mini horses and goats.
New this year we offer a kids camp and our renters can book a drop in day so the adults can go off shopping or just enjoy a quiet day at the beach. The kids camp will offer a pool party, horse play, bay activities with kayaking and nature hikes.
We can also doggie sit for the friendly ones.

Don't miss this chance for a truly relaxing vacation. We are vacation lovers and we know what you as the renter wants for a week of fun for the whole family !!

 Incredible Place, November 1, 2007

By Karen Elmore (New Castle, DE)

My family spent a week at the cottage during July, we had an incredible time. Diane is very warm and welcoming. The trails were beautiful and the cottage cozy and comfortable. We had our grandchildren there for 3 days (6&10) they totally enjoyed making s'mores over the fire pit in the yard. We also brought our 2 dogs, who loved swimming in the bay. Thanks Diane...hope to see you in July 2008 Karen & Toby  more...

 

 Charming, peaceful, Property, October 11, 2007

By Laurie A. Rhodes (Bethel, PA)

My family of 6 just returned from a long weekend at Hi Point Farm. It is a charming cottage and the property is incredible. So peaceful, serene, yet 3 miles from the ocean. The trails leading to the bay are beautiful and well maintained. Diane was so very accomodating, and a gracious hostess. She prepared a meal for us that was out of this world. My parents, (father 81), live in Myrtle Beach, and are very picky about their seafood. My father had Diane prepare him crabcakes to take home even. He said they were the best he has ever had. I am a vegetarian, with a food and beverage background, and her lasagna was better than anything I have ever created. Our greyhound accompanied us and he too sends 4 paws up for the experience. Great, very large fenced in yard. Just can't say enough good about our experience. We will be back in a few months. Thanks to Diane for sharing her amazing property.- Laurie  more...
