I wish we gas more time.
This was such a relaxing place to stay. You have your own dock with many items to use not just a bbq. We spoke with Gary a few times. Once was regarding the bathroom fan, he was very empathetic and responsive. Lisa, we only got a chance to say hi in passing. We didn’t get to spend much time here… wish we did. For our first VRBO type stay, it was a huge success. Thank you Gary and Lisa for having us.

Power issues
As soon as we got there, we tried to heat up our food in the microwave and the breaker goes. This happened throughout our stay. At one point we were without power to our fridge bathroom and TV. He finally got an electrion to come out on Friday, the day we were leaving. Was not a fun time.
