House was as advertised...no surprises. Just wished we had more time to explore the area. For future renters would highly recommend Randy's dinner. It is very close by, great food and good size portions. We would book again and for longer.

Great home! Very clean. Kitchen was well supplied as well as bathrooms. This home is in a nice quiet location. The screened in back porch is a wonderful space for your morning coffee or for relaxing at the end of the day. We would definitely come back to this home again.

We received a call and told the unit we reserved was not ready and were moved to another one. Upon arriving it appeared pretty much the same except this unit appeared handicap accessible with a ramp coming off the driveway which was nice while unloading the car. The unit was very clean and had a well-stocked kitchen if you are wanting to prepare a meal it has everything needed. The beds were comfortable, and the outdoor area was nice. Remember to pack toiletries I forgot mine and there were none available in the shower to get started with. There is a supermarket close by that carries everything you may need. The unit was very clean, and we enjoyed our stay, thank you. If we ever decide to return to the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Comfortable Convenient

I wish I could give more stars. This is probably the most comfortable house I've ever rented over the years. Nicely decorated with simple but good taste. Conveniently organized, well stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed including the Keurig coffee maker. My daughter rented this house last year and was in the house next door with her family this time. We loved our stay and would definitely come back.

All good. One minor item - the outdoor grill is “camping stove sized” and we would have grilled but it was too small and awkward. We didn’t cook in the unit - only used the coffee maker and toaster and microwave and washer/dryer. Those were all solid. The A/C in the unit worked great. Everything for the beach is there. It’s an 18 minute walk to the public/glorious beach. We were happy to walk it. But note there there is no parking at the beach and that it’s a short metal staircase down for anyone who has difficulty with that. All in all a nice rental. And the lake (what we came for) was in its summer best! (Water hit 76F the past couple of days.)
