Property was very nice and as listed.

Unique place. Perfect for our family gathering. 4 generations, 25 of us. Plenty of room to be together or quite places to sit read/relax. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Grandchildren did not want to leave.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2023
Lets start with the good - Host was great and very responsive. House was big and good for a large group. Lots of nooks and spaces for people to spread out. The not so good. House is older and could use better maintenance. Walkway to beach is bad. They say wear shoes to avoid splinters ... I say it needs to be replaced. Second house is dark and musty. Living room couch is not really a couch but outdoor patio furniture. Overall, I was expecting the house to live up to its 4.8 Star rating so my expectations were high... I feel a 3 or 3.5 star rating is more in line.
