Excellent choice

We wanted a location close to the water but one that afforded other options. This had a heated pool, pickleball court and a dock out back for fishing! Perfect for the family!!

Beautiful property

This property was beautiful and we had great family, friendly fun. The only big downside was that the description included pool towels and beach towels but there were only a few bath towels and were highly discouraged to use bath towels for pool or beach or we would get charged additional costly fees. So only suggestion is remove description of pool/beach towels provided or encourage renters to bring own towels. Also, no extra blankets provided. Bring your own blankets!
