The home was immaculate.The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cookware and dishes as well as towels, dish soap and coffee maker. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. We made use of the washer and dryer. We enjoyed the use of the big screen TV and the comfortable couches.The location is peaceful and we liked watching the bird life on the water.Rick, the owner, was easy to contact and quickly solved our issue with the internet password. Upon request, he was also able to extend our stay.
