Fantastic mini vacation to kick off summer!
The location is wonderful in a quiet neighborhood of beautiful homes. The lake breeze keeps you cool on the patio in even in the higher temps. It was so relaxing to sit and listen and watch the trees in the breeze. Inside was clean and very spacious. You have everything you need to feel at home. You can tell the host cares about the property and wants your stay to be the best. A short walk to the beach to watch sunsets was my favorite part. We come yearly to the area and this is on of the families favorites. Host was fantastic with recommendations and any questions we had. Would book it again in a heartbeat!
