Nice spot

Nice spot. Downstairs unit needs dressers or small table for bags in both bedrooms and upstairs visitors need to understand someone is below them cause construction workers above us made a too much of a racket

Great stay and beautiful location

A few family friends and I stayed at Gary’s place for a long weekend. He is very commutative. The place is great and right on an inlet with a dock. We tried fishing but had no luck. I would definitely stay here again.

Not that bad

Every time we washed the floor it got dirtier because the floor tiles weren’t grouted and the barbecue had a hole in the bottom and was filthy and found a mouse nesting in it!

Very clean

The property was well decorated, comfortable and very clean. The outside area was nice and well maintained. The one complaint I have is that the wifi was not working for very long which was an issue at night as we and the kids were looking to wind down...... The TV only works with wifi and we were unable to use our phones. One suggestion I would have for this property is to have a DVD/Blu ray, board games or books for the guests to utilize when something like that happens. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.
