Upon entering the property, you are welcomed with an oversized beach chair and the pool. The house itself looked a bit rough on the outside but everything appeared clean. It isn't fancy but checked all the boxes although I did expect something a bit nicer for the price (marks on walls, chandelier coming out of wall, dingy blankets). There are a lot of beds and bedrooms which worked out great for our sized group. However, the bathrooms don't quite work out relative to their location. The room with 6 beds (1 additional bed entering) is super cute and comfortable, but there is only one half bath for 7 people! The view is lovely but please note the stairs to the dock is quite steep and a lot of stairs. There was a molded coffee pot that had been there awhile. Luckily, the owner responded quickly and directed me to the other kitchen which had another. Last but not least, the water. It was unusable for showering, drinking, or cleaning and the rotten eggs/sulfur smell lingered long afterwards. All in all, it met our needs for the weekend.
