The Laughing King

A fantastic stay. A friend and I stayed here for a momcation the first weekend in October 2021. We loved that they stress peace and quiet and no children. When I arrived I went straight to my room and dropped off my luggage then roamed around the property. I felt extremely safe at that moment and for the rest of my stay. The property from the moment we turned onto the driveway was breath taking. I sat on the porch waiting for my friend to arrive. Upon her arrival she was also impressed and so happy we chose to stay here. The rooms were great. I was at Cobb Island. Roomy bathroom, air conditioner window unit, ceiling fan, large windows, comfortable bedding and a curtain to draw in front of the door for added privacy. My friend stayed in the Rogue Island suite. There was no air conditioner in the room but two fans available. The sun comes shining into that room heavily in the morning. Nice view of the water. Bathroom is a little small, but perfect for one. The room itself is perfect for one, maybe two if it's a short stay. My friends words on her stay: "The room was smaller, but comfortable and perfect if we weren't planning on spending too much time. It wasn't too small, just smaller -perfect for a single occupancy. The grounds were gorgeous and I appreciated the hands off approach. The company in the morning was lovely. I loved all of the different amenities and areas of the house we had access to to suit our needs. Breakfast in the morning was simple and perfect. The first morning was this amazing quiche.... Hoping to get that recipe to add to my cookbook, sliced strawberries and coffee. The second morning was a scrumptious banana bread, sliced strawberries and a simply seasoned fried egg. It was all delightful. You have access to the kitchen whenever you want. We brought lunch back and ate it outside. There is a fire pit out back you can use. Some notes: there are some fine tuning things that could be taken care of by a grounds keeper or anyone else. Trimming back the foliage going down to the dock, spraying for bees in the white covered "shed" near the water, clearing leaves from the pool, replacing burnt light bulbs and a major dusting inside and outside, especially outside on all the porches. Otherwise it was very clean. In the end we enjoyed our stay and look forward to stay again!! I'm easy to book again.

We originally booked via AirBnB, but due to the 14 day review period - I moved to Yelp because I wanted to ensure I left a review. This was one of the better places we have stayed. We had a great time and the property is absolutely dreamy. My husband and I stayed there while working through the week to get out of the house and have a "workcation." We had great access to internet - spent a lot of time on Zoom calls without issue.MJ (host) can make a mean frittata for breakfast! Delicious and really we looked forward to it every morning. Super comfortable bedding, morning views of the bay while drinking coffee cannot be repeated, happy birds chirping and singing, and really just a quaint and quiet property on the bay that is just what we needed.My husband says it's like a taste of Ireland without having to go all the way to Ireland (sans the sheep). We also journeyed into town and per some recommendations from MJ we enjoyed really great dinner multiple times. Overall we were very thankful of having the opportunity to stay there for a full week as it was really relaxing. We got to have some really in-depth conversations with different guests and the host at breakfast and throughout the week. Would love to stay again. Highly recommended. Thanks again, MJ.

I am in love with this place!!! I will come back and give a Yelp Elite worthy review but first let me enjoy my stay.
