"We rented this house for a Bachelorette Gathering. We had 6 ladies celebrating altogether. Typically, pics look better than the real thing, but in this case, the opposite was true! It was better than the photos. Such a perfect space! Lots of rooms and beds; enough bathrooms even. Everything was clean and perfectly made up. All utensil and utility drawers were well labeled and made everything really easy to find. Alexandra was very helpful with all of our questions and concerns with the hot tub,...

"We absolutely adored this property! The property and cabin were clean and stocked as promised. Location was perfect, literally feet from the water. Dock was large and sufficient to dock boat and support lots of beach play. The other cabin owners nearby were friendly and respectful. Couldn't have asked for better! We even said upon arrival that if we were to buy a cabin, this place would be exactly what we'd want, and we'd probably end up living in it year round!"

"Great stay at this property! Easy to find with plenty of parking. 2 kitchens, 5 bedrooms, 2 bath, 2 living rooms, huge patio, ginormous lawn made this a perfect spot for my sister's bachelorette party. We rented a pontoon for the afternoon from right next door then had dinner at the bar/restaurant. This meant we didn't have to drive anywhere all weekend which was great. The property manager is a local who can give you tips and recommendations for whatever you need. It does seem possibly a newer...
