Peace and Tranquility!

Place was tastefully decorated, extremely clean and comfortable. Comfortable furniture and beds. Fully stocked kitchen with dishes, pans, and cookware. Wonderful full size deck and small deck next to the water, both were wonderful places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Wonderful view of the water from within the cabin with 2 full size windows, that stretch across the whole wall facing out over the water. If you’re looking for a place to relax, unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the perfect vacation spot.

Waterfront Getaway

Had a very comfortable stay for our adult group of 7. Kearsten was very helpful, actually called me a few days before the trip to provide additional details and info for the island and house. Overall, the house was very comfortable and easy to stay in. Only note I have is if you plan on cooking, there was no saranwrap or foil. Basics like salt/pepper/oil were available.

Nearly Perfect

This is an absolutely lovely house in a wonderful location. From furnishings, to decor, to a well stocked kitchen and patio, you have everything you need. My mother and I (both seniors) enjoyed the view, the grill, and the super-comfy beds. CONS: The description of the camera on the property is deceptive in the ad. Multiple outdoor cameras, which were all fine, but also a camera that covers the entire lving room and dining room. The list of chores to do, considering the substantial cleaning fees was a bit overboard compared to our average stays.

Security Camera in Dining Room Facing Inside Living Space

For the girls celebrating a Birthday this was a perfect home. It was well stocked with all kitchen, bath and outdoor needs. The layout and décor was very good also. The description online for security states there is One camera in the house pointed on the 2 entrances. To view the 2 entrances with one camera, you also capture the entire living space. Possibly even into one of the bedrooms. Exterior cameras are located on each side of the house and also view the outside entrances, which is no problem at all. Just the one inside made us very uncomfortable. I would definitely rent this property again with changes to the inside security camera.

Great place with a beautiful view!

Thanks Kearston your place is really nice and comfortable, from the great couches and wonderful beds to the table by the huge window to watch the boats go by. We loved the awning on the deck and the rockers by the river. It’s a great place for older folks like us or people with kids to enjoy the slide. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
