Check-out instructions
The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Place used towels in the shower or tub
If you moved any furniture, we’d really appreciate it if you could return it to its original spot.
If anything was accidentally damaged during your stay, no worries at all — just let us know so we can take care of it
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
QUIET HOURS:
9 p.m. - 7 a.m. outdoors (so neighbors can enjoy their peace too)
Respect the Septic System:
- Only flush the three P's: pee, poop, and (toilet) paper
- No wipes, tampons, or other items—they'll cause sewer backups!
TRASH:
Please DO NOT leave trash outside overnight. Raccoons will tear open the trash bags and make a huge mess.

Beautiful home, location is perfect. We spent the majority of our time on the dock and in the water. We had a blast fishing!

Fun and Relaxing
The property was everything they stated and more!! The kitchen had everything you could have imagined to prepare meals with along with the gas grill outside. There was a good assortment of games to play and we did play some of them. The outside is very well maintained and there are kayaks there to use so you don’t have to rent them. A 15 minute ride will get you to several different area attractions which makes it a great location. We have absolutely no complaints with this VRBO.
