The property was exactly what we were shown online. We loved the closeness to the various beaches and the great restaurant recommendations. Our family had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the different spaces the property had to offer. Also, having the ability to use the washer and dryer was a complete game changer and made our stay even better. Grateful for the space to enjoy our family vacation.

Great location for the friends and family hanging out on the beach. Great price. The house is secure and very accommodating. It's a cute old house with some modern updates. It could use a few small repairs, but nothing that will put the trip at an inconvenience. You can tell the area is starting to turn back into a fun little lakeside town. I would do this again.

We enjoyed our time with 10 teen runners for a short running retreat. We would recommend more bath towels, mirrors, and paper towels. High school girls use those things a lot. :) Appreciated the beach towels. Otherwise house was great.

Great place for getting together

Met up mid- way for our yearly gathering. Home was great for us to hang out and spend time. Cold weather was a bit of a struggle, as the home is older (which is understandable), but nothing that caused any issues. Plenty of room all of us, great location.
