Great location and the host provided fantastic communication. We enjoyed the spacious home and it was perfect having that large dock right outside for everyone to fish off of.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful waterfront property! The house was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. Our host, Heather, was fantastic—extremely helpful, friendly, and quick to respond to any questions.The location is great, and we loved spending our evenings watching the stunning sunsets from the adjacent dock and doing some fishing. Riding around in the golf cart was a huge plus and super fun for everyone. Highly recommend this place, and we’d love to come back!
