8/10 Good
"This was a really nice little property! It was perfect for our little family of 4 and our kids immediately felt comfortable. It was very clean and had all of the basic amenities you would need! The location was also great for fishing, going to the beach and lots of fun restaurants... I didn't give it 5 stars for 2 reasons... First is that it can be a bit noisy at night from the surrounding neighbors in the nearby campers, having bonfires. The second reason is that we had an issue with the door in the bathroom that leads to the outside. I won't get into the details because I brought it to the owners attention and assured us that it would be taken care of. That being said, we would stay here again, given the door issue is taken care of beforehand. The pros definitely outweigh the cons and overall, we had a great stay!"

"Beautiful home with plenty of space for a large group. Kitchen has a filtered water tap at the sink. Very short drive to town and beach access was just a short walk. We had a great stay! Since the house is in a wooded area by a lake, be prepared to bring bug repellent if you want to spend time outside on the property."
