Great location, property could use some attention.
The location is great, the beach is excellent. We barely saw another person on the beach. It was like we had the entire stretch of beach to ourself. If there was some attention to the home to clean up a few things it would simply be a great place. Better beds, a better couch, a nice spot to clean off sandy feet. All simple upgrades that would make me want to come back. Unfortunately we will look elsewhere for next years trip.

Needs to be updated
Location and beach access are both amazing… Privacy is amazing - beds are comfortable The house it’s self needs some updates! We stayed here last year and the toilet had the same leak as it did a year ago. Wallpaper’s peeling, furniture is old and musty smelling, the stove works, but definitely takes a little longer to cook things. You get what you pay for. Not bad … just not great!

The location was great. Beautiful beach and quiet area. My only complaints were the condition of the home. It is a very dated. We couldn't even get a light to turn on in the kitchen. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent Location...house needs work.
First...the view/location is awesome! The beach and water are beautiful and talk about a great place to watch the sunrise! The only issue with this rental is the house. It needs some deep cleaning and some repairs. There is a musty smell in the house that is very strong and does not go away. Some chairs need to be replaced on deck, some minor repairs around the house, etc... Again, beautiful view, the property just needs a deep cleaning and a few minor repairs/replacments.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Although the view was beautiful, it could not outweigh the considerable issues with this rental.
In short, the place has not been taken care of properly. Only a few outside chairs could be used due to their worn or broken condition. Numerous bedroom fans did not work and that is a considerable problem when that is the only ventilation the home has. Many lights in the home don’t work but that is helpful since the ceiling is covered in cob webs. I was surprised that a property management company would represent a home in such poor condition. This could have been a lovely home but no one is caring for it.

Great location, great place
Overall, it was a great stay. Right on the water. Plenty of room. Finding it for the first time wasn’t simple, but we found our way even though GPS took us to a nearby location. NOTE: The cell service isn’t good here and it does NOT have wifi. I didn’t realize that when I booked because the dozens of places I’ve rented in the past all had internet as a standard, so that was a bit surprising to us. But we weren’t there to stream movies so our lakefront time was well worth it.

The water and view was amazing
The house it’s self is actually cuter in person. We were there for the view and water and it did not disappoint. The house itself had plenty of room for us the only downfall is there was not a main bathroom on the main floor you had to go through a bedroom to the bathroom other than that it was amazing.

Not worth the money
No cable- no login information nothing and no one answered text ( I know it’s not considered an emergency ) No power/No water Yard garbage everywhere I think porches at least could have been blown off or sprayed. Like everything was filthy to sit On Freezer wasn’t keeping anything frozen. Dirty dishes when we pulled them out to cook and eat. Mold in bathroom Semi clogged drains Location was great but not worth the $$$. You can have an older home and it still be maintained well and cleaned.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is a nice house in the woods on the lake. I wish our shoreline had more sand and less rocks because brought up a float that we were unable to use but everything else was good.
