The house sits facing a very large RV park but is near water and in a quiet neighborhood. The primary bed & bath are good size but in general the house is cottage like. Comfortable beds and nice shower. The kitchen area is small- open to living room but well equipped. The outside area is amazing, big fenced back yard and two covered porches with gates to keep dogs safe. Plenty of wildlife around including deer .

Reviewer Comments:
I was pleasantly surprised when I drove up and saw this sweet little hideaway! Noticed 3 sitting areas immediately on the feont, side , and back. As soon as I walked in, was blown away by the cozy kitchen/living/dining area cleanliness, windows, and immediate feeling of escape from stress. It was laid out perfect and lots of space to lounge for a 2 bedroom rental! Loved it! Highly recommend.
