We went primarily to enjoy the beach front property and it did not disappoint, the beach was only steps from the home and the sand on the beach was soft and clean with plenty of amenities if you wanted to take advantage of the water. Plenty of seating to enjoy view or fire pit. The home was clean with all the necessary essentials and then some. Wi-Fi was excellent. We would definitely stay there again,

Anniversary Trip to Relax

The house and property were wonderfully relaxing and beautiful. We rode provided bikes to the State Park near by, walked the mere feet to the lake shore, cooked out on the provided grills, and made s’mores on the fire pit. Five Stars!

Our 3 boys would rotate sleeping in the little bunkbed house! Everything was clean and comfortable. We would definitely come back.
