The house was nice, plenty of room for our family of 6 and our Husky. Loved the neighborhood, the best part is the easy walk to the lake! Beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay at this house.

Excellent location but the property was not clean. Cobwebs everywhere and furniture was stained. Bedroom closets and drawers stuffed with items so no room to put our belongings during the stay. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils.

Great Location
Check-in was simple and quick with a key code. Kitchen was well stocked except for only two kitchen towels, could have used more. Plenty of beds for our family. Free Wi-Fi provided. A nice short walk to downtown, grocery store and beach. The back yard was a bit lacking though we did enjoy the hammocks, and it was nice to have a fenced in yard for the dog. The house overall was clean, but needed a few repairs and touch-ups.
