We really enjoyed the pool on the very hot days and there was plenty of other things to do within a reasonable distance.

Wonderful home with spacious rooms, beautifully updated bathrooms with great showers, and upgraded kitchen appliances. We especially loved the movie room with its large TV, as well as the heated in-ground pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to rent this home again in the future!

This is the third time we’ve rented the house. We love the house and the renovations are fantastic. The only problem we ever have and I write about is the dock area. It would be great if it was cleaned up, and steps were added to get out of the water. The property manager was very helpful when needed. It’s a great place and we will be back.

We love return guests! The owner is planning on a new boat dock this fall. They just bought the home last winter and did extensive renovations this year inside!
