"The house was great. Spacious with ample room to spread out with large space for everyone to come together. The kitchen worked great for cooking family meals and gathering. The beds were very comfortable, couches and seating space was comfortable and abundant. We loved walking down to the public beach for fishing, relaxing , hunting for sea glass, and enjoying the view. Only things that left us yearning for more was the outdoor space. Landscaping around the house could use a refresh, open up the view to the lake from the house, and open up space at the lake for seating. There garage was not used due to a musty smell"
