Perfect location!

Great place to stay! It is across the road from the gradual entry beach (just a short walk through the trees and you are there). All the conveniences available with a well stocked market a couple of doors down and a paddleboard/ boat rental a short walk away. Highly recommend!

A wonderful spot for families

We rented the two cabins for a family event. Both cabins were wonderful and clean. There is a beautiful, large grassy area for the kids to run and play and the beach is just a short walk away. The hosts were wonderful and welcoming and everyone had a fantastic time.

What a great find this is! The location to a wonderful sandy beach is just across the road. The hosts were so accommodating and responses were so quick! The place was ideal for our little family gathering! Boat rentals are right around one corner and a well stocked general store is around the other corner so very convenient. Highly recommend!

Great Family Vacation!

This is our second year coming and staying in one of the cabins hosted by Sandra and Dave. They are amazing hosts and are always around to help with what you need. The Lilac house was perfect, lots of room for our 2.5yo to run and play and our little morkie to enjoy. The cabin had everything we needed and was so close to the beach that we were able to walk and enjoy the nice beach area. Can’t wait to come again next year!

Wonderful Vacation

My family and I had the best vacation we have had in years. The property is so close to the beach that we went everyday! We loved that it was almost private every time we went. The property is gorgeous and the horseshoe pit gave my husband and son a great pastime for when we weren’t at the beach. The sky at night is absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for everything, we had a fabulous time!!

The location was great. Across street from pet friendly beach . Beach was not busy all week which was perfect. Was pleasantly surprised that we could have fires. The street is however very busy so take caution crossing it. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. It was however not quite as private as we thought it would be from the vrbo description. But none the less we had a nice week. We were in lilac and I think Sunshine would have been a better choice for us as it was away from the shared driveway and people walking so not to cause our dogs to bark. Anyone without dogs this would not have been an issue. Life with dogs is always a challenge on holidays. We were very appreciative that they allowed our furry family members. Thanks for the great week to bond with our adult children.

Short break

A very nice location and ideally placed cabin. All of the facilities that you would require are in the property, but the maintenance and condition of the cabin is visibly tired. The cleanliness of the property is also something that needs addressing.

Nice quiet area, right across the street from beach. Walking distance to local store. Unfortunate thing was a fire ban was started right before we went there. Otherwise good times. Would return
