We had an amazing time, Went for Laconia Bike week. The location was perfect and use of pool and hot tub was convenient. The only thing that needs to be improved is the TV/Cable situation?? Could not watch NBA Final, or Stanley Cup final, could not get anything not even local. Would be great if you had a Smart TV so people could use their own Stuff and Stream TV's in Bedrooms would even be better. We hope to be back next year same time.

What an incredible spot! The house was in good shape, a little outdated in some areas but overall very clean and comfortable and everything worked perfectly.

Lake Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake house. It was great that we could walk across the street to the beach and enjoy the amenities of the Akwa Marina and Beach Club. The house was set up well and had AC throughout. We would definitely stay there again as it had a New England rustic charm.

The house was very nice. The location was great. The club house right across the street was cool with its own beach and lake side pool. The deck on the house was great with a great view of the lake. Would love to rent again.

Great place

We enjoyed our stay, it was a rainy week, so we spend a lot of time inside. The house was spacious and the veranda was great for family meals. We also appreciated the access to the marina installations. The only negative point is the train that goes by a couple times a day, which can wake a young child during nap time. We would stay again.

We had an amazing stay! The home is a little older and the upstairs stairs are definitely steep, but beyond that it was perfection. The giant sunroom and deck overlooking the lake were absolutely incredible—we spent so much time there soaking up the views. Having access to the Akwa Marina club was such a fun bonus, and the location couldn’t have been better. It was an easy walk downtown to enjoy the arcade, bars, restaurants, and more. We’d come back in a heartbeat! Owner/manager was great to work with, as well - quick to respond and very helpful when we asked for some recommendations on renting a boat.

Amazing property and location

We loved our stay. The house was perfect and the beach and pool at the yacht club we had access too was beautiful. Communication was timely and very friendly. We blew a fuse and someone came right over to fix it. The screeened in porch was perfect for night time card games. Weirs Beach was a 5 minute walk which was so convenient- loved our vacation - will definitely be back!!!

The house is directly across the street from the marina resort which is super convenient. As stated in the description, the food and drinks at the beach bar are excellent. If you want to rent a boat or jet skis make sure to do that before you arrive because they sell out. The pool area is wonderful.

Excellent location, clean, comfortable house.

Mostly everything was great but I can’t give 5 stars due to the following: We arrived late, The lights outdoors on the staircase were not working and it was dark. The TV is very slow and old fashioned. Internet password too long. Some lights in the kitchen and bathrooms are not working Frying Teflon pans in the Kitchen are too scratched and need to be Replaced because Teflon is toxic if it comes out of the pan.
