"House was wonderful. Check in needs improvement for Sunday arrival. Information needs to be submitted to both text and email. I never got a text. I think it was a Verizon issue not their fault. However, the emergency contact was of no help. They didn’t have a good after hours contact number and couldn’t find the actual house listing. We eventually got in when maid service happened by. Please change/update after hours procedure."

For future reference, they are able to forward on calls to our local on call person, so if you ever need this kind of assistance again and are not getting what you need, please ask them to forward. Anticipation is a wonderful home and we are glad you enjoyed your stay!

"Anticipation is the best located house on the island. We have stayed here for 18 years and love being here even when it's raining. Stunning sunrises and unbelievable sunsets. The kitchen is so well appointed, everything you need for preparing meals of any kind. Hope to continue our September tradition for more years. "

"We love everything about the house, except the television programming. We do not have streaming services where we live so we don’t have accounts with Hulu, etc. We missed having access to current network programming. "

"As always, staying at Anticipation seems like coming home. The weather was beautiful, in spite of the looming Hurricane Lee and we had such a good time. This is the 16th or 17th year we have been in Anticipation at this time of the year and we love it because it's not too crowded and not too hot! Can't wait for next year!"

"Our rental was very comfortable and well-appointed for 3 couples. The grounds should have been cleaned from cigarette butts and garbage. Information should have been given regarding TS Idalia regarding clearing deck areas and preparing for the storm. "

"July 2016 Stay - Everything about our stay was wonderful. The House was immaculate with just the right amount of housewares and amenities to meet our needs. We most enjoyed the wonderful porch, hammock and finding hermit crabs along the sandy banks. We look forward to our stay next year. "

"October 2018 Stay Anticipation was a very comfortable place to stay. Everything including the location and the amenities were great. The only regret is the furniture in the living space was uncomfortable. There was a note to watch for a leak in the half bath ceiling but we never saw a leak. "

"September 2018 Stay It is difficult to say that we had a great time because of the Florence evacuation, but even though we stayed such a short time, we always have a wonderfulvisit at Anticipation. The continued improvements in the property are so appreciated and since we have been coming to this house for over 10 years at this same time, we can certainly see that the changes are wonderful! This is absolutely the best house and location on the island. The house has everything you need to have a fantastic stay in one of the best places to spend your vacation."
