Cute house in a nice location

We booked this house as a short Thanksgiving weekend getaway for my family. The house is comfortable, laid out nicely, and has a nice view of the harbor/marina. We liked the second floor decks as well as the screen porch on the first floor. Kitchen is nicely stocked and we were able to prepare a nice small Thanksgiving meal for the 4 of us. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms are nice. Nook in the front by the kitchen is nice and a great place to setup a laptop to look for restaurants, attractions, etc., when you're planning your day.

Thank you for spending your Thanksgiving with us! It sounds like you cooked up a wonderful holiday weekend in every way—turkey, views, and all! We’re so glad the house had everything you needed, from a cozy spot for planning your adventures to decks for soaking up the harbor vibes. Here's to more relaxing getaways filled with good food, great company, and plenty of memorable moments. Hope to welcome you back soon!

Cozy, cute, and nice

It was hard to find many faults with this property. Location was close to family and it was clean, safe, comfortable and well stocked. I was amazed at the number of towels and blankets. We did not love the master king mattress or the pillows. A thicker pad and better pillows would make this a perfect review, but it was still comfortable enough. We will be back!

Property management was very responsive and helpful. They helped us navigate through the few small hiccups we had during our stay. The home is lovely and the views are great. It’s a wonderful place to visit in winter. Can’t wait to visit again in warmer months.

Property is clean and relaxing with new features. Master bedroom is amazing with lakeview scenery It would be better if theres an ensuite bathroom in masters.?? And also if the second bedroom has a king bed ?? Staff are informative and helpful. We enjoyed golf carting, it would be nicer if theres more pathway or green scenery where we can do golf carting.??

We rented a pontoon boat from the marina and the staff was great! They were very knowledgable and did an excellent job explaining the waterways and safety. We also visited Red Dog Grill the first day it was reopened. We totally understood that they were working through the kinks of opening day. Upon leaving they even gave us a gift card because they felt our experience was not what they are striving for. It was very appreciated.
