"House was beautiful & great size for our large family. We had fun on Horseshoe beach. We had friendly neighbors, & the community was so welcoming. I would advise doing research on area prior as it is very remote and a drive to major stores, restaurants or hospitals. The small general store was surprisingly stocked pretty well for any staples you may need & 1 local restaurant that is open Thu-Sat. We will definitely be back."
