The property was absolutely beautiful. Pictures don’t do it justice. Access to the beach was much closer than we had expected (2 min walk). Neighborhood was gorgeous and very quiet. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our family to be together.

6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2024
When we arrived, pool water was so low pump was sucking air. Mold all over walls and floor of pool. Toilet handle was broken and would not flush. Floors appeared clean but in fact we had to wear socks (which were filthy after wearing) or shoes, slippers, etc. Our feet were black from inside house. Boat hoist was off limits, not conveyed in listing. This was a main reason for booking this home. Even 120 dock power wasnt on to charge trolling batteries. 2x12 wood plank laying on dock, tripped and lost my new iphone in the water. That cost me $800 to pay off and $1200 for a new phone.
