Hello All, This place checked all the boxes for us!!! It is a very very nice place! The beach was perfect for the grandkids. All four of them enjoyed it. The boat dock was perfect for us. We have a 24 foot Regal LS4 bowrider. The dock is covered in plastic, which means to us boaters "No sharp edges" no metal edges sticking out to cause damage to the boat..... We have been to other places and sharp edges are a huge problem, but not here.... Everything was as pictured. We were able to watch the fireworks from our boat. That was ice cream on the cake for us....The property is better than pictured. The lake is great! there are three sand bars to hang out on...I think we will be back next year, it was an Awesome time. Thank you for renting it to us!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad the home was a great fit for your family and that the grandkids enjoyed the beach. It's great to hear the dock worked well for your boat and that watching the fireworks from the water was such a memorable part of your stay. We'd love to welcome you back next year!
