Clean & Beautiful
We had a relaxing vacation at this home with five kids! The beautiful interior pictures are just as described. Our stay included a different grill than pictured.
There is not decking steps off the front of the house like some of the pics indicate; no big deal. Deck on the side of house coming down underneath. The two large covered decks off the front of the house were incredible!
When we arrived we had an amazing sandy beach. The kids had a blast riding the waves with boogie boards. The under house storage had a nice selection of boogie boards, sand toys, couple chairs. There was also a surf board and kayak for use as well! Beyond the control of the rental company, after a few days in, with high winds and double red flags, the waves washed away about 2-3 feet deep of beach sand. Broken concrete slabs and tree stumps were exposed on the beach. Upon our departure some of the sand had washed back in, but small amounts of concrete were still exposed and stumps.
Drove a few miles to the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and enjoyed the bay on the last day, since the gulf side had double red flags and high winds. It was calm and peaceful. It seemed more like a lake for a Midwest comparison; light current, shallow entry and lots of splashing fun! Fishing catches: pompano, whiting, flounder, jack crevalle.
Long Bill’s reasonable priced for kids meals, loved cheese pizza. Scallop Cove General Store also had reasonable priced slushies for kids! Cone Heads had yummy shrimp & grits!
