Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful weekend stay at The Shire! Mike was so welcoming and personable. The property was beautiful and spacious and the house was perfect. Our family of 6 stayed there for a long weekend. The kids loved the basketball court and huge yard to play catch in, the swing overlooking the pond, and the huge and very spacious garage where they played ping pong and bag toss! Thank you for great stay!

Another great stay!
This was our second time staying at The Shire and we enjoyed it very much! Everything was as we remembered- the space is very clean & comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is perfect: quiet and peaceful, yet close to the beach, wineries, breweries, and shopping. We plan to return again!

I recently stayed at Mike and Lisa’s place for a weekend with friends and we had a great time! It’s a beautiful property and a short drive to St. Joe’s. The place was clean, spacious and Mike was super friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again - highly recommend!

Quiet getaway
The peacefulness of this property is amazing! Close to anything you would need but far enough away to enjoy the quiet countryside. We look forward to renting again when we are in the area.

An amazing property. Really clean and cozy. Walking distance to a vineyard field… and a relaxing deck spot. Also super close to a bunch of restaurants, beach, shopping or just peace and quiet.

Girls trip to the beach
We enjoyed our stay at The Shire. The property is a beautiful and peaceful place to hang out. Coffee on the patio and walking to the vineyard was cool. We enjoyed beach views, shopping in St. Joes, silver beach pizza! A day at silver beach and playing games back at the house! Perfect getaway!!!

Really beautiful place to enjoy with family and friends
The Shire was perfect for a night reuniting with friends. We enjoyed the beautiful landscape. The property has lots of space to walk or play outdoor games. I wish we had more than a night to enjoy the fire pit and pond! We’d come back!
