House had lots of room for our family. We really enjoyed having a beach area for the kids to play. The dock also was handy for using our boat. Nice quiet location.
The place was very well stocked of linens, blankets, and towels for our big family. The location is a nice little area. Upon arrival there were many spiders and bugs not sure if spraying or something in between renters would help. (I saw someone else post a similar issue). And i know its a quick turn around sometimes between renters but it did not looks like it was swept very well under table bench inside. BUT overall it was a great stay plenty of room for our family of 7 adults and 7 kids! Had outdoor warer toys, kayak, and pattleboard available for use. Air conditioner kept up for us. Our family enjoyed our time here!

Overall good stay
Stayed here over the weekend for our bachelor/bachelorette. We had a great time, and were happy to see that the kitchen had utensils & enough blankets were provided. We also appreciated the large amount of towels provided. Very nice interior, and a bonus with the washer and dryer included! During our stay, I had contacted the contact line a couple times, and received half and half responses. The two bedrooms on the main floor had broken doors, both unable to be closed, this was not responded to. Also, the exterior of the house including any outdoor seating was covered in spider webs and crawling with spiders. Which they did have someone come out to wipe the chairs once asked. The A/C was unable to keep up, when I inquired on this, they stated the unit is too small for the house that it is and is incapable of fully cooling. Had this been previously known we definitely would have brought fans. We also would have appreciated to know that there is currently a house being built next door. It was a rough wake up, as well as parking became limited due to equipment. Overall, we enjoyed the amount of room the house did offer, and took advantage of the grill and fire pit.
