Beautiful view, not super clean
First and foremost, the property has a beautiful view and the dock is really nice. My husband and sons had a great time fishing and kayaking. However, we were quite surprised when we got to the house to realize that there isn't an inside connection between the upstairs and downstairs. You must go outside and use main stairs to go back and forth between the levels. For us, this wasn't a huge ordeal because our kids are older, but if you have small children this may be an issue. Also, the cleanliness of the downstairs was not great. The A/C seemed to have ductwork issues where it was sweating and dripping on us.

Our first all girl getaway and we had a fantastic time! The property location was great and the back yard and dock were amazing!
We enjoyed the back deck but it did seem a bit aged as did some of the property features.
I would like to message the manager/owner about a few items that would have made our stay much nicer but won’t post here because they would not prevent us from staying here again.

Beautiful place lots of fish
The stay was just what we all needed the property was beautiful, the fact that they look like they were the only property around with a dock made it real nice. Their were so many beaches to pick from, the only complaints i have are they say theres a hot in the listing and theres not, and there arent many restaurants close to choose from, other than that best place ever highly recommend. P.s. fishing is super good from the dock.
