Comfortable Beds with individual room temperature settings, beautiful decks and views. There are small green space for pets so you can easily pick up after them - keep on a leash as road is close. Kitchen is stocked GREAT, thank you! Living room furniture with recliners and swivel chairs so cozy. 4 levels in split level footprint; top has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, one with a tub. Main has living, dining, kitchen, lower has bedroom, 3/4 bath with washer dryer and screen porch, and lowest has room for air hockey, foosball, and sitting area with sectional and tv plus a small twin . So areas for children to separate from the adults, which we loved. Perfect sunset.

We loved the water access and the ample patio, wonderful for having a nice dinner by the water or coffee in the morning

The home is beautiful and the bay views and sunsets from the home and the numerous outdoor seating areas (to include a private beach) are fabulous!! Property managers responded immediately to our questions. Would stay again and again!!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were disappointed with the condition of the property. This is an old over used beach house. We felt the pictures displayed a much more up to date unit. The outside property needs work, as do the windows, screens and deck. Everything was old and needed power washing, or renovation. This property has a lovely view, great dock, and lots of space for children. Because the downstairs unit smelled of mildew, and the floors were wet from the constant condensation, we were very disappointed for our family who had to tolerate this discomfort, the odors, and slippery floors. Communication with the agent was good, but there were 3-4 days in that the little air conditioners in some of the rooms did not suffice. It was a warm week. No, we would not rent here again.
