My family (5 adults and 2 children) stayed here during Coast Guard Festival week and felt the location was perfect. We were close enough to downtown to partake in the festivities if we wanted to, but just far enough away from the craziness. The house is much bigger than it looks and was a great reverse floorplan. We had beautiful sunsets and could see the lake from the porch, living room, and master bedroom. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. The road was busy, so something to be aware of, but we managed just fine. We had a little one in a stroller and it did not work to take it through the dunes down to the water, path was too narrow. Overall, we would definitely rent here again!! Thanks Barb, Ben, and Bud!
