Loved this house. It was perfectly clean, spacious, and well-appointed. Easy walk to the beach. Easy walk to “downtown.” Friendly community.

5 Diamonds +

Our third VRBO rental and it was the best ever. Imagine everything you would want a rental to be and it was all here. Location was perfect. House was pristine. Owner thought of everything. If you needed something (cookware, dishes, linens, internet, etc.) all here and all first quality. We had a great stay with our kids and grandkids.

Beautiful home

The home is beautiful. The only thing that would make us consider coming again is if they adjust their check-in and check-out times. Checking in at 4 PM is too late, and an earlier check-out at 10 AM would be preferable. If they make this change, we will definitely consider coming back next year.

Breathtaking both inside and out!

This house was absolutely beautiful in every way! It came fully stocked with every appliance, gadget and cookware you would ever need. Having 2 dishwashers for a large group was brilliant too! The decor and layout of the house was well thought out making everyone feel like they were always together but yet had their own space to relax or read a book. It was a short walk across the driveway to the beach access which look exactly like the pictures shown. It was a perfect view out to the lake where we saw the most wonderful sunsets! Our family has definitely found our new vacation home for many years to come!

Wonderful

A beautiful restored home, walking distance from the beach. The setting is beautiful, clean and wonderfully maintained. Other than a squeaky floor and squeaky beds, this home was wonderfully relaxing and provided a great getaway.

Thank you for your recent review of your stay with us! We are happy to hear that the home was found in great condition and was to your liking! However, we are not too sure what you are referring to with squeaky floors and beds, given we've not received that feedback before and the home is less than ten years old.

Nice modern house with lake views and yard.

This was a nice home that was very clean and modern. It is in a great neighborhood and close to downtown. Good layout for families and a nice back patio and side yard. Screened in porch is also nice. Our kids enjoyed walking down to the beach and swimming. Suggestions would be to consider more kitchen and grilling tools and more variety of pillows. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for the review, Brad! Although most do find the Kitchen to be rather well equipped, we will pass your suggestions along to our homeowners, and perhaps can do an inventory check for these items.

Perfect Getaway

The house was perfect! Very clean and charming. The private beach was right there with easy access. I even got engaged right on the beach! The town was less than a mile away which was very convenient. Would definitely return :)

The house was AMAZING. The private beach was awesome. Close to north beach (about a 20 minute walk, or a couple minute drive). The kitchen was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Definitely worth staying here!

AMAZING!!!

We traveled here for our wedding and this house was absolutely incredible! The bedrooms were huge, the bathrooms were super up to date and the large, open kitchen, dining and living room made gathering so cozy and intimate at the same time. The access to the beach was soooo convenient and it was amazing! 100% would recommend this location to anyone looking!!
