Why they chose this property

Our property is about 1 acre with lots of parking space. Our five bedrooms are ample in size. Three rooms are upstairs and two are down. We have a sidewalk to the lower level bedrooms and the dock in case steps are a concern and our lower level bathroom has just a small step in to the large shower.

There are two full kitchens in the home and a grilling station outdoors. We provide many of the basic needs for cooking. Our coffee bar has a regular Keurig cup dispenser and full pot, bean grinder, Vertuo Nespresso, electric kettle and loose tea pot.

The dock is 2500 sqft with two boat lifts and a jet ski lift. We require an additional fee for use of the lifts and a brief how-to review. In our bar on the dock we have a mini fridge and many different sized life vests.

What makes this property unique

Available to our guests free of charge is the use of our kayak and SUP. Please pull them onto the dock when not in use and lock them up as you found them on checkout.

You’ll have access to the whole home with the exception of a few locked supply closets and the garage.

You will also have access to everything on the dock. Please take care and require little ones and non-swimmers to wear a vest. It’s about 7 ft deep off the end of the dock.

Other things to note:
Our home is not child-proofed but we do welcome children. Our children are young and have done fine in the home but be aware there are no permanent baby gates or childproof devices.

A single pet is permitted. No large breed dogs please.
