Fantastic Stay

This was a perfect spot for our friends and family. The access to the beach was wonderful; it felt private and quiet. The hosts were kind and responsive, the house well stocked with everything we needed, and the location great for trying breweries, wineries, great restaurants, and shopping. I definitely would book it again!

Perfect Beach House Location

The real charm of this house is the feeling of seclusion, although it is in a pretty densely populated area, and the direct access to the beach. The back deck area is perfect! The kitchen is very accommodating and stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses and cooking ware. Plenty of beach towels are provided too. A great place!

Amazing location for a gathering with kids!

We had an incredible stay with two other young families at this home. We were nervous about how well everything would go with six adults and five young kids aged 0-4, but there was more than enough space to accommodate everybody. The hosts were kind enough to leave sound machines in every room and there were tons of baby and kid-friendly supplies. The location is hard to beat and we enjoyed being just steps from the beach. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a large gathering on the lake!

We shared this house with a few families and kids and it couldn't have been better. The beach was right over the dune and the kids could play in the sand on top of the dune while the parents hung out on the deck. Cannot wait to come back!

Property was great and accommodated our large group, we'd definitely come back. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking supplies and plenty of plates/dishes/bowls/cups for kids and adults. The kids loved the toy shelf and the sunroom with a TV was perfect for a movie night. The house had two large coolers available for the beach and enough beach towels for our group which was super helpful.
