We had a lovely time at the property. Very clean. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook with. Kids loved fishing and playing on the dock.

The house is very beautiful. The barbecue pit was completely burned out. The dishwasher didn’t work. It was not child friendly. All the boards in the dock were loose.

I would have rated 5 star if it wasn't for VRBO . The place itself was excellent! Clean, well stocked, great location. Perfect!It was mainly the check in policy. I understand putting deposit for damages, but it was mandatory for them to keep my credit card permanently in their system. Wouldn't let me check in without doing that. Now i have to get new credit card. Also, never got to speak or communicate with owner. Very impersonal.
