Excellent home directly on the water! We would definitely stay here again. We Would recommend a TV in the main living room or the outdoor enclosed patio for rainy days and evenings. We loved the outdoor enclosed patio, hot tub, and dock. The Parking is a bit tight and limited close to the house. There is an area to park boats up at top of driveway but it’s quite a walk for older folks. Overall - great stay and we would definitely stay again. Thank you.
