Reviewer Comments:
The home was beautiful. It had everything that you could possibly need cooking wise. We had no problems so we never contacted management, but I'm sure they would've been helpful. One thing that I really appreciated was the family photos upstairs. It made me happy to know the house is loved. My children loved all the toys and books that were at the home. The one bummer about this place is that it's not really close to a beach. I was hoping we would not have to drive to a beach, but it was a jaunt to get to the water, and not really do-able for kids. However, the house was amazing, nestled on a hill in a very nice neighborhood. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to experience Stephen's Retreat.❤️ I'd recommend this house in a heartbeat.

We loved this house. There were 4 adults and 1 child as the rest of the family couldn't come. The amount of room we had the 2 decks and BBQ were amazing. Kitchen was a good size and supplied everything we needed; plus extra refrig in the garage. House was spotless and well maintained. We all agreed we all can't wait to go back.

We had 4 couples and each had a queen or king which is hard to find in a vacation rental. Nice sized driveway to park, even with our boat, since no street parking, for short term rentals, is allowed. Well appointed kitchen and quiet neighborhood conveniently located to boat launch, restaurants and grocery stores. We’d definitely stay here again.
