The outside was dirty, unkept, and scary upon our first approach. The front door was filthy, scratched, and dented. The deck and patio areas were dirty, unmaintained, filled with debris, and not comfortable enough to enjoy (for THE PRICE WE PAID). I was so scared at first, that I had booked a nightmare VRBO, until we went inside, and realized the inside was decent enough. This whole situation explains why there were never pictures of the outside of the establishment online. I am assuming it was pricey because it's "lakeside?" It claims there's a nice 2-minute walking path from the house to the shore, but really, you have to walk through people's properties and backyards, to get anywhere close - making it very awkward. The owner was kind and mostly responsive, yet she claimed she sent me the check in information, when she never did. I had to request it. All in all, because the inside was acceptable, we had a good stay. I had just imagined something totally different for a "beach front" property, at the price it was.
