Overall was good-the house was clean and we enjoyed the stay. Host very fast to respond also. The only downside is that they had only 2 kayaks not 3 as listed. Also the shower drain was very slow.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. We had a few hiccups but they were taken care of by the property manager. The place is dated and the kitchen is extremely tiny. Also, although it is one level, be aware there is a step up to the bathroom. My mom is limited physically, although one step was fine for her, it was unexpected. The location is amazing and the property is beautiful. Great sunsets as promised.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
The good: the location and amenities wonderful. The beach, dock, outdoor space, fire pit, available kayaks, picnic tables, grill, etc. were on-point. My family of five spent more time outside than inside. It was quiet and calm and lovely. The beds were comfortable and two of the bedrooms have window AC units. The third room has an AC unit just outside the door and provided fans make it easy to blow cold air into it. The photos in the listing need to be updated: there is new flooring throughout the house, there is a new kitchen table that seats 6, there are new recliners and the couches have slipcovers. John was very communicative and provided an extra blow-up mattress for our family that we had not asked for but was much appreciated. Before check-in he sent reminders about grocery store locations and where to stop on our way.The reality: the cabin is old and dark and being constructed on a cement slab means it is damp and has a cabin smell. This was expected and the AC units helped with the damp feeling. It should be known that the bathroom floor is raised up a step to accomodate for plumbing.The not-so-good: the home really needs a deep clean. Spiders were active in the house, there were lots of spider webs in very easy to reach places, the walls need a good scrubbing (especially in the bathroom), the baseboards and heat registers need to be scrubbed clean. The AC units need attention as well. They functioned as expected but the vents were visibly dirty.
