This is a modern home with central air, a fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher, a full laundry room and beautiful porcelain woodgrain and hardwood floors (no carpets). An Absopure water cooler provides delicious spring water that we provide - no need to drag cases of bottled water on your vacation. Grocery stores are just minutes away - one even delivers! Lakeside has high speed wireless internet and cable, large smart TV's, a full bookcase and a special children's DVD library kids can view from bed. A new Generac was recently installed.

They can be totally on their own - from the kitchen to the bedroom to the bathroom to the outside deck chairs to the beach and the water - no climbing involved! Your dogs, if you bring them, will have an incredible vacation - no crazy extra charges for those special family members.
