Great place to stay for our family! The cleanliness and stocked supplies of the house, location (quiet and yet close to the beach and dunes), and prompt communications made the vacation just that. The binder and brochures within the house gave insights into other resources and activities to do in the nearby area as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The house was clean, bathrooms clean with nice bath towels, and the kitchen had all the essential kitchen amenities needed. The check in process was easy, the property owners communicated with me prior to check in and provided all information needed. The biggest dissappointment was that lake access was down a flight of steep deck stairs. The posted photo led us to believe that lake access was a gentle slope down the backyard and that was not the case. Overall, we were satisfied with the stay, the location was close to all the activities we were doing and the neighborhood was quiet.
