Relaxing and Peaceful

The house was wonderful and very clean when we arrived. The dock was a perfect place to hang out and it was very peaceful. We caught a 14 inch trout off the dock and had a great time trying to catch the perch. Everything in the house was comfortable and it felt like home. The proximity to the beach made it easy to go to the beach and come back and have lunch at the house and cool off after playing in the waves.

Great location, and we really appreciated that the home is dog-friendly. However, the house could have been cleaner. With a little more attention to maintenance and cleanliness, this would be a 5 star rating. Overall - great house and we enjoyed our time there.

The perfect family get away!

The house fit our needs perfectly. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We were 5 minutes from the beach. We were able to bring our boat and got some great fishing in. The fenced yard was perfect for our fur baby too!
