Although aesthetically beautiful, some things were non-functional. We had brought some food to prepare, as is the appeal of a rental property, to find the oven and several burners didn't work. We ended up grilling a frozen pizza. There was nowhere to hang/store the few articles of clothing we had, and the lack of window coverings on the front door and kitchen window were a surprise. The proximity to the beach and several spots to done was perfect! We took multiple daily walks through the relaxed neighborhood lined with beach homes that lead to the lake. Then to unwind later, took dips in the private hot tub. Super relaxing and a perfect chilly spring stay.
