Beautiful house and location
I would recommend this home 100%! Newly updated and clean. Was a little smaller than it looks in the pictures (great photography), but we made due! Awesome dock if you want to bring a boat. Garage has all games and beach chairs a such- a really nice addition. We had 4 adults and one child in the house and there were enough rooms and bathrooms to accommodate!! Great communication from the owners and check in was a breeze. 10 outta 10!

Perfect vacation!
This property is great. Everything you need is available on the property. No need to overpack with supplies. The beds were super comfortable. We had a great time fishing, swimming and paddle boarding. So nice to be right on the water.
