We loved our stay at the "North Beach Bungalow"! It was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. It really filled the bill for me, a teacher, looking for a relaxing break after a long year. Fran does a great job making you feel at home right when you walk in. She provided snacks, wine and cheese, and a welcoming note. If we had any questions or needs she was just a phone call away.The home is very clean and well supplied. We enjoyed the North Lake beach which is only a very short walk away. We took a walk on the beach every day. Other things we recommend is to rent a kayak at River Bend Nature Center. We were allowed to take as long as we wanted and saw nesting Egrets and a river smooth as glass. Beautiful and relaxing. We took our bikes and did several trails and of course saw the zoo and lighthouse all within 5 miles. The jacuzzi at the house was so great to relax in every night after a long day of adventures.The patio is wonderful too with a fire pit and grill. We took advantage of both. Great just to sit and read or chat . We had a wonderful time and hope to be back soon.
