The house was the perfect size for the 12 of us! Taking the boat to the beaches was the best part of our trip. Kids had a blast in the pool. The owner responds immediately to texts, he is great. Woudl recommend!

6 / 10Average·May 2026
The house is right on the water and has an amazing view. The house had 5 bedrooms and only the master bedroom is en-suite. The other 3 bathrooms are not equally shared amongst the bedrooms, so that was a let-down. The 1st floor bedroom had 1 bathroom right outside it's door. Then the other 3 bedrooms had to share a bathroom upstairs or go downstairs to shower or wash up, so not ideal but we made due. A bathroom with the shower was in the laundry room off the deck with a door that has no curtains or way to shield yourself if you're changing out of your suit or showering.The house was really nice, plenty of room to relax, cook, and eat. The kitchen was well laid out and had most of the things you'd need or want. We were a little disappointed that the coffee basket had almost enough Keurig pods to have a cup of coffee each the first morning. The pots and pans and other kitchen equipment were plentiful, but some pans looked like they belonged in my son's dorm (scratched and dirty). There were also no sponges and only one dish towel. After letting the host know, they brought a new box of coffee supply to last the next 2 days and some new sponges.They also brought face clothes, hand and bath towels that were missing.One of our guests suggested the pool was dirty and we shouldn't stay in it. Not being a pool person, I didn't understand, but told the host so that he could remedy it. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub, but the instructions need improvements. We enjoyed our stay.
