Summer Breeze beach and fisherman's retreat. New house with tons of activities

Great house in a remote location with a pier that is perfect for fishing. The property is nice, the elevator works and there is plenty of space for parking. With that said, there are a few things that would be helpful to know: One of the full bathrooms is in the garage and not close to the bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is in a closet. You walk through one of the other bedrooms and that bedroom's closet to get to it. The small bed takes up the entire room and may be difficult for some to get in and out of. Be careful with the steps going to the third floor. The rise for each step varies by as much as 2". Also, some of the handrails are loose. It seems like the owners live there full-time. There were a number of condiments in the refrigerator and there was food in the freezer upon arrival. There was no hand soap in any of the bathrooms, so you will want to bring some.

The house was very clean and the mattresses slept well. Getting out on a boat can be difficult and you may have to plan around the tides.The owners were quick to respond and easy to communicate with.

Both the house and the location are amazing. The position of the house gives you views three sides that are unobstructed. Both sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous as well as the full moon rise on the first night we were there. The dock pier are really nice and super sturdy. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need and the owners even left us baskets in both bathrooms with essential that we might’ve forgotten. The owner was so great to communicate with provided several video with helpful tips on different things around the house. We hope to go back again.

Kitchen had not been swept & exterior of cabinets in the kitchen island needed to be wiped down. In the Check-in video it shows an umbrella on the pier that you can use, but that was not there. Also, it says the seat for the kayak was in the dock box. It in fact was in the kayak & not useable due to bird “debris” on it. “Boaters Retreat” it is not. Before going, we knew that the water was shallow (thanks to a previous renters review). When I asked the owner about the shallow water he did admit he had to “play the tide” to get his boat to & from the house. Unfortunately, we were never told, before going, that there are no cleats on the non-floating pier to tie to, nor were we told that renters are not allowed to use the boat lift. So where do renters dock there boat? In short, it is a pier not a dock. With all of that said, the house & views are beautiful & the neighborhood is extremely peaceful. Communication with the owner was extremely timely, just not completely transparent. Go for the views but only take your boat if you don’t mind putting it in & taking it out of the water every time you use it.
