Great location and Wonderful hosts!

The cottage is perfectly located with easy access to the beach. The home is well equipped with everything you'd need including beach towels, beach chairs & umbrellas, sand toys, bathroom amenities, WiFi, etc. The host, John, was quick to answer any questions or concerns and made the check-in/check-out process seamless. Thank you for a great stay!

Pure Delight!!!

John is an amazing and very accommodating host!! The house exceeded our expectations in every way. The location is ideal and the house, while compact, is very very functional and extremely well provisioned!!! Tons of towels, comfy beds, a shed full of beach essentials…..and a huge yard was the added bonus! Wonderful getaway… with we could have stayed longer.

Disappointed

Home was not opened for the season. Bathrooms and bedrooms were cleaned. Floors were dirty. Furniture slip covers were stained and visably dirty. Living room rug is filthy. Outside decks and furniture were filthy and covered with branches and leaves. Both screen doors were missing spring closure mechanism. Air conditoning was not ready to go. A fuse at the unit had not been turned on. The outdoor grill would not light. I was told by the owner on the Tuesday prior to arrival that house was prepped and ready and the decks were to be power washed Fri am. Not the case. Deck stairs covered in vines in back.

A Perfect Lakeside Family Get-Away

In short, this property is amazing! When there is consensus among 3 adults and 4 kids (ages 9-17) "we want to come back here again!" that's all you need. Communication with the owner from the moment of reservation to the moment of departure was A+. When a beach umbrella went down, we had a new one within 30 minutes. Looking out the kitchen window at the lake while fixing meals is great. The lot is large, filled with stately trees, and the front and back porches are great to hang out between beach adventures. The location is perfect-stroll down the front sidewalk, walk about 40 paces, and head down the stairs to some scenic, accessible, family friendly shoreline. Immediate access to the private beach ensures you have plenty of room to spread out, not be in crowd, and have some privacy. The proximity is great so folks can run up and down to the house, use the restroom, grab a snack, and return for the next round of fun. There are beach umbrellas and chairs along with plenty of beach towels. The house is fully equipped, updated, and very cozy. It also has a real ambience to it-the thousands of laughs, stories of the day, and shared experience permeate the place if you just sit back and let it soak in. There is a wide variety of very nice shopping, dining, and sightseeing (e.g., Warren Dunes) opportunities within 15-30 minutes. The highlights among them are well cataloged in the info manual that comes with the house. The only question: when will we return?

Great location!

My husband, our 3 children (9,6,4) and our English bulldog stayed at this cottage and absolutely loved our stay. Views of the Lake, and just a few steps towards the stairs and down to the Lake with a private beach. Just don’t forget the flag! The yard was very spacious where we played catch and kickball. A short walk to the bakery was very pleasant. The cottage it self was clean, comfy beds, clean showers, plenty of towels (both shower and beach towels). My kiddos loved the upstairs bunk beds! It was like their own little hideaway. I enjoyed having the washer and dryer as well. The beach was very clean and very convenient to walk up and use restroom or grab some lunch from the cottage. There was a fire pit where we enjoyed smoking some sausage and roasting marshmallows. We are definitely going back here!

The best little beach house

We had such a great trip! Upon arrival, we found the house clean, updated, matching pictures/description and full of charm. My kids loved the bunk beds and the two decks made for great evenings outside. The location is the absolute best- you’re literally on the beach! John was a great host- even mailing back a few items left behind. We will absolutely stay here again.
