This home was a dream! The entire place is set up perfectly for a lake get away. Everyone in our group kept saying they want to come back next year. The covered porch was especially nice to watch the rain storms and sunsets. They had all the little needs that come up during a trip. The kids also loved the water toys. My dogs were cozy and had the time of their lives playing on the beach and in the yard. LOVED this stay.

Nice property. Nice home. A few things that could be better. Clock isn’t working. Dishwasher didn’t do a good job cleaning. Both of the back units on the stove didn’t work. They turned on but actually wouldn’t warm up enough to cook a pancake. There is a high pitched whine that my younger kids can hear going on and off all the time. They think maybe it’s an an alarm at your property or the neighbors. Biggest improvement needs to be a screen door on the deck door. With no air con the open door there is critical for airflow and it cannot be left open at night because of the bugs. Loved all the access to the beach toys. The view was beautiful. The beach chairs were wonderful. If your house had one more bedroom it would be perfect for us. Thank you.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property was clean, family friendly, and pet friendly. It was on the water so you could go out anytime you wanted to walk the beach or go for a swim. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach but that is Mother Nature at her best. The water is clear and the depth along the shore is good for young kids and dogs to enjoy some fun. The communication with the property managers was top notch. There was an issue with the water trampoline holding air. They came that evening picked it up and returned the next day with a replacement and the repaired one. Definitely would stay here again. Loved our short time at this waterfront property. Cheryl
