Gorgeous house!

We booked a last minute stay during spring break with my parents and family. This place was immaculate! Megan was very responsive in all communications. House is super clean, well laid out and well stocked. Bedding and mattresses were wonderful. Can't wait to stay again.

Beautiful Home and View

My big family plus, my parents went for a few days and enjoyed every moment!! It is a lot of stairs, but that was expected for us! Everything they have to do down at the dock is amazing! The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards! The hot tub was huge and fit everyone! Cannot wait to stay here again!

Great but not great

I would be careful with this property. First host doesn’t get back to you for days, no phone number only email. First night the grill had no propane emailed host about a backup…no response had to cook hot dogs and burgers in a pan. Not enough paper supplies. Had to go and buy paper towels and garbage bags. Then the ceiling started leaking in the kitchen from bathroom above it. Two weeks later and now they’re trying to get the security deposit! Unreal..

This was the most amazing home and location we could have stayed at.

The property was extremely clean, equipped with everything you need and breath taking. The host communicates with me immediately and was so helpful. I cannot wait to go back! I LOVED everything about this experience.
