We had a fantastic stay. The screened in porch has the most amazing view. It’s a lovely, comfortable home for a family of five. We love the quick, easy walk to the beach and less than 10 minute drive to the grocery store and great restaurants.
Loved the whole vibe of the house - very cool older home details and the back porch was an amazing spot to watch the waves break on the lake - it was a cold weekend so didn’t get to spend too much time on the beach but it was just a short walk from the house. Well stocked with a water bubbler and even had coffee and snacks ready to drink/eat!
Love this property! Our second time staying here and we feel so lucky to be able to stay somewhere with such a gorgeous view of the lake. Easy walk to the beach, cozy home with well-stocked kitchen. Five stars all around!
The house was a perfect summer cottage with spectacular views. We did a short family trip.There were five adults in the house and It accommodated us perfectly. The host is very easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay and made wonderful memories.
Older house with plenty of charm. Lots of room for our family and dog. Perfect location with just a short walk to the beautiful beach and short drives to grocery store and other food options. Plenty of beach gear available on site. We would definitely stay again!
Communications were top-notch, and entry and closing out could not have been easier. The house itself is adequate but somewhat dated. It’s challenging to find the entry. The coffee maker was broken, but management had one delivered by end of day and offered to reimburse us if we wanted to go out for coffee. The photos onsite are accurate, technically, but somewhat misleading. The house does have a view of the lake, but in actuality it’s far down a steep walk to reach the beach. The stairs to 2nd floor are narrow and steep. They need a handrail, in my opinion.
Fabulous, private, quiet. Two minute walk to beach (literally). Well outfitted kitchen. Favorite spot was the porch! Everything needed for a beach vacation was provided. Throughly and absolutely enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed the property. Even though the house is dated, there are a lot of little perks: beautiful view, extra drinking water, coffee, snacks, and clean white linens. The walk to the beach is a little more strenuous than expected. I would visit here again!
Great communication from host. Easy checkout procedures. Teenagers loved the upstairs rooms. The views of lake are beautiful. Would love to visit again!
Beautiful view and perfect location. Great family home with portable crib, toys, games, beach toys all available for the kids!
