Comfy Home
Very nice. Plenty of space. Nice fenced yard for dog. Nice appliances and kitchen. Walkable to town. Wish there was closer access to lake. We could see it but couldn’t access.

Disappointing and misleading
We did enjoy our stay, however, the house was DIRTY. We had to sweep the floor when we got there. There was a sign to remove your shoes so I did and there was so much sand and after a roll of hair and dust came tumbling out from under the couch I decided to put my shoes back on and sweep the floor. I couldn't believe the amount of hair and dirt there was. Also, the floor was not mopped. The shower in the large bathroom was not even cleaned as there was used soap in there, like really used. The doors are dirty, the webs/spiders on the patio was frightening. I pulled a coffee cup out of the cupboard and it clearly was not washed (coffee ring and drip, not a stain!) The garbage bins out front smell horrific. There is no access to the beach (very disappointing). With all that being said, if the cleaning company does a MUCH better job, the house would be just fine. The neighbors are super friendly! It was an amazing neighborhood!

Overall, a wonderful property and experience. Great area.
Couldn’t really access the local beach… Couldn’t get into the garage or locate the property key box. Code for entry was fine. Very nice updated home.

Private Beach????
The home was as described in VRBO listing.
However the Private Beach is non existent. "Private Beach" access is filled with huge boulders piled from lake to homes for a mile across with Dangers signs. A neighbor stated the only beach access for guests is a public beach. "Private beach" posting is the key reason we chose this accommodation.
Upon arrival we noted a Filled Coffee pot with old grounds in the appliance, dishwasher filled with dishes, Peanuts and candy on a filthy floor which ruined our socks.
We did Enjoy the area and surrounding shops and views.
Housekeeping issues can be forgiven with staff education. However inaccurate amenity statements are of another nature.

Great house, great location!
This house is the perfect get-away! Bedrooms are good size with good size beds for adults, and a few twin-size for kids! The main living area is a good size and designed for gathering! Tons of natural light, a big table to seat 8 or more for meals or games, and it opens on to a patio/yard with outdoor seating, a grill and a fire pit! 2 full bathrooms means no waiting for one shower. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, while still an easy walk to restaurants, shops or the beach. One slight hiccup with checking-in, but the property manager couldn’t have been more helpful and kind! We will definitely be back!
