-As this home is located directly on the water, it is common to encounter wildlife and insects. We regularly treat the home for bugs and insects, however, despite our best efforts ants, mosquitos, spiders and other bugs get in uninvited. Please assist us with keeping windows and doors closed and properly disposing of all food items.

The house and property are beautiful especially the sun room. I would have l liked a reasonable way to launch kayaks from dock, the three foot drop to water was hard, impossible for us to deal with. The second bedroom has the hardest bed, it definitely could be upgraded. Overall the stay was great.
This house was amazing. We enjoyed having the huge outdoor space. The house is in great condition and was plenty big enough for all 6 of us. 4 adults and 2 kids. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. The kids enjoyed waking up and going out on the dock and fishing each morning.
