A little piece of heaven ..!!!!!!! ❤️ Devil’s Elbow is peaceful, charming, and the perfect spot for a relaxing fishing getaway. The fishing tackle shop is great—well-stocked and the staff were so friendly, helping us figure out where to go, where they are biting and what to try. Even though the fish didn’t always bite, we had a blast trying and caught some.The cottages are clean, cool, and cozy—with cold A/C, a kitchen, BBQ grill, 2 bedrooms and rocking chairs on the porch perfect for morning coffee! Only 8 cottages total, so it stays quiet and never feels crowded.There’s a shared dock for all guests to use and a beautiful ocean view from the property. The pool was refreshing, and there’s also a gate to access the beach side if you prefer—we stuck to the water and boating.The staff are amazing—welcoming, helpful, friendly and made our trip extra special.Can’t wait to come back in September. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax, fish, and enjoy some quiet R & R time.
