This place will exceed all your expectations. One of the best houses I have ever stayed in. Views for days and the coziest setting for a large group. Can’t wait to go back. The pool and hot tub were amazing as well.

The grounds, the size of the house, the pool and the view are fabulous. The decor and furniture are very dated. The driveway is a bit tricky because there's 2 cars parked in the carport. The address is almost impossible to see, much too small.

Beautiful, just beautiful!

10 friends came together to celebrate our lives & friendship and could not have found a better place! The ocean views were magnificent, the property green, well maintained, offering so many gathering spots & quiet reflective spots. The house was well stocked and truly enjoyed by us all! I would say the 4 bed room downstairs was actually 3 fold up cots & a daybed. We managed with it, but just a note for future guests!

Breathtakingly beautiful!

Our family of 8 stayed here for a week in October and were very happy with the property. The pros: The view, the pool and outdoor area, gardens, game room, common area space and kitchen were fantastic. The pool and hot tub were heated, the beach was accessible and so fun to explore, not to mention the woodwork and the house was all very beautiful. We saw otters, dolphins, jellyfish, and eagles from the house. The only cons were minor (the keys/locks on the house weren't easy to secure, parking was challenging as the driveway is long/narrow and down a hill which we had to back out of or into, and the home could do with fewer dusty fake flowers/plants). However, these things wouldn't prevent us from returning or recommending it to others. We had such an amazing time!

Fantastic property ..... only a few comments

A Fantastic property that checks almost all boxes ......... The boxes it "Doesn't check are; 1) the parking of 2 of the owner's vehicles is a real nuisance, there were not enough parking stalls for all of our vehicles, I would not expect this for the money we paid! 2) The bed closest to the outside wall in the 1st downstairs bedroom on the left (has 2 beds in room) is absolutely WORN OUT, My adult son was forced to come upstairs and sleep om the couch to get any kind of sleep at all, definately not acceptable for the money we paid. 3) No King bed in Master bedroom

This is an amazing property for a big family. The setting is amazing, so beautiful, surrounded by water. We watched harbor seals from the pool deck all week. So much room, and so many bathrooms. Two issues for us. First, two big vehicles, the owners do not leave enough parking space. Super tight and no way to turn around. Second, we had a fire alarm beeping for 2 days. It was on a vaulted ceiling, no ladders accessible. Called and the rental company said they would send someone, but nobody came. So had to live with the beeping.

A Family gathering for a Graduation

We had such a wonderful time .. the pool and billiards were a big hit with the young ones. There was so much space that the 14 of us could enjoy privacy and quiet time. The neighborhood offered great walking trails and evenings around the fire pit chatting and reminiscing. The kitchen and dining facilities top notch also outdoor bbq area. My young grandson spent time as a budding pianist enjoying the grand piano. The views of course magnificent!

Enjoyed the location and the attached facilities.

Enjoyed our visit especially as the home offered us an opportunity to have the entire family together under one roof. The home was well equipped and the recreational opportunities added to our stay. There were a few short comings such as the microwave, toilet off the main bedroom and issues associated with the resident otter but the property manager did his/her best to rectify them.

Beautiful location. Clean. Very cold during our sleep. The fridge constantly went on even when the doors were closed. Well stocked kitchen with spices and coffee filters etc.. Spa pool never did heat past 98 degrees but was still enjoyed.

Almost perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros:Pool was a huge hitBackyard beach was great exploring experience fun for both kids and adults Toy chest was fun for the kidsThe house has everything you need from hair dryers, rice cookers, etcCons:All the beds were so uncomfortable (sunken in and bounces even with lightest movements) that everyone had back pain/ not good of a sleepNails sticking out on the floor in the kitchen Wifi sucked, some parts of the house cannot connect and you'd have to reconnect every few hrsThe smoke alarm went off on its ownImpossible to get help immediately with any questions about house, which is frustrating. I understand the house is very old and there were many decorations inside house, it's hard to get spotless, but our pillow case had some dried red dots on it, probably blood from insects or something

Greeter was really nice and my overall experience with the company was smooth as they called and gave me updates along the way. Fyi if the sky is clear you must go outside at night and look up at the stars!

Ideal for a family gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 6 days here on a family get away with 8 ppl, including a very elderly Grandma, so we spent a lot of time at the house. The backyard setting and views of the water and wildlife (bald eagles nesting nearby & seals) are truly spectacular. There is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating, which was great, because this is where we spent the majority of our time. My daughter loved taking the stairs down to the beach to collect shells. The water here is quite calm. We also enjoyed all being able to eat dinners at the large dining room table. The kitchen is updated and well stocked with the equipment you need to cook your own meals. We had a couple issues with the pool temperature and the BBQ, but this was due to us being the first guests of the summer season. The management company and owner were great about addressing the issues immediately.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a nice relaxing time at this Oceanfront Lodge. The infinity pool/hot tub is perfect. Getting to the beach was super easy, just a short walk and we got to take the kayaks out on the calm waters. The house had everything you could need including a den/game room with pool. Most rooms also have their own bathroom. Property management team was available to let us in and give us a tour of the place and even left a basket of goodies. We loved it all.
