The boat dock is dilapidated and there is no boat house at end pf dock. I’m guessing recent hurricanes destroyed it

The location by lake and with pool was ideal but unfortunately there were 1,000s of blind Mosquitos during our stay. This is def. NOT the fault of the owners, who were very kind and very responsible to any needs we had. I am just sharing because it might be something to ask about - if there is any way to track if they would be around. We really could not use the pool or sit by the lake, which is why I specifically choose this property. Otherwise the place was exactly as expected and the hosts were great.
