Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice views, and access to the beach is a little convoluted but definitely walkable. Layout of the house is odd with lots of wasted space in the interior - more space in the downstairs bedrooms would be useful. Kitchen was not stocked very well with utensils or cleaning products and the garbage can didn't work.

Youngest grand child was told we would go to the beach if she would get potty trained. She did it! Gamaw and Gampaw brought everyone to the beach!Everything wan nice at the house. The carpet in the basement was wet when we arrived. I immediately notified management. The maintenence guy said for us not to use the shower in the basement. Sort of hard to get 9 people cleaned up after spending our days on the beach.Hopefully they will have it resolved before the next guest arrive.We all enjoyed the house, views and lots of space to spread out. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of bath towels. Having a washer and dryer made it convenient to keep towels clean and ready.Will definitely return in the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location near the beach with great views of lake from master bedroom and large screened in deck. 1 bath towel per person for the week. No beach towels or beach chairs. Basement bedrooms have unpleasant odor. We brought an air purifier and it helped. When showering in floor with two bdrms, water leaks under floor boards. We had to move clothes in bdrm to not get wet. Minimum kitchen set up. Nice large table for groups. Upstairs bedrooms has no window that opens outside and no closet. Also has large opening with shutters opening into living rm, so noisy. It is priced lower than other homes and we made do. .
