Everything was perfect and as described (if not better!). Lakefront apartment with the most stunning views. I wished we had more time to spend just sitting overlooking the water as it was so serene and peaceful. Easy check in, functional kitchen, large bathrooms and comfortable beds. Wouldn’t definitely return!

The stay was nice with the house having all of the essentials and though the place had been cleaned and well prepared for our stay, this house is now a little dated and well used. House 25 could be amazing if referb’ed and brought more up to date.

Beautiful 3 bedroom place on the cove. The back deck looks right onto the cove and the view is beautiful and so peaceful. The place was quite large and very nice and clean. We loved that there was a washer and dryer and all the ammenities we could possibly need. We would have loved to stay longer.

Waterside stunner!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The unit was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We were able to choose between relaxing on the upper or lower deck overlooking the water - blissful. Would highly recommend a stay here. Ideal for a family or friends. Eateries just a few minutes walk away.
