Lovely beach house with private beach access
The private beach was EVERYTHING! The wagon was a big help getting our things down to the lake. The beds were comfortable, plenty of space for our family of 5. Lots and lots of fans to keep the air moving, but no a/c and it did heat up inside in the evenings despite our best efforts. No long laundry list of requirements or rules, very reasonable! Lovely and relaxing.

Great stay!
Our family enjoyed our stay in the house. It was clean and close to our favorite spot… the beach! Thank you for sharing your house with us.
We enjoyed the property immensely. It was the right amount of distance from town, but extremely close to the beach and state park. Overall very quiet and just what we were looking for.

Nice place
Nice 3 bedroom home with knotty pine walls. Stayed comfortable without A/C in August heat. Not nearly as close to the beach as the description implies. Overall, it was a clean and comfortable place to stay.

Wonderful time with the kids!
My husband doesn’t like to camp so I’ve been bringing the kids ( ages 17, 14, 11) for a few days for several years; we’ve stayed in multiple places but this place had the best beach location. It was a longer walk but hardly any people on the beach so well worth it. Perfect location for riding bikes and took a drive to the Lighthouse for pics. Check in was super easy; owner always responded when I had a question and the absolute best thing for me was how clean the place was. Kids don’t notice as much but I felt totally comfortable using the shower and sleeping in the beds….love that I didn’t have to worry about nasty germs everywhere cause believe me….not all rentals are kept nice and clean.
We also played some of the games that were in the house and took advantage of Netflix for some movies at night. We did a campfire 2 of the 3 nights and there was even wood provided; so awesome. Very happy I came across this place and hope to possibly stay again next year.

House stay for birding trip
Great location comfortable beds and clean house in quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Well stocked kitchen with utensils and some food cooking essentials. Small kitchen work space. We would go back when we visit again. Entry was confusing but we eventually discovered where in Vrbo to find entry info. Even the VRBO person on the phone did not know. You need to go to house rules and tap more info to get key code. The location of the house is just minutes away from the point.

Loved Our Stay!
This property was perfect to stay at! It had everything we needed for a short girls trip. The pictures don't do this cabin justice, it was incredibly nice and even cuter than the pictures showed! The beach was beautiful and a shirt walk down the road. We had a blast staying here and would definitely return for future trips!
