This is a great place! Being right on the beach is awesome! It was very clean and the kitchen was full of utensils to use! The small drawback is the bedrooms and the walkout floor to the beach are quite small. But that is easily overlooked by the awesomeness of this place.

Felt the property was clean, well appointed, just as we expected. Some exterior lighting on the deck would be helpful. Hard to see the stairs going down. Multiple deck boards broken and a safety hazard on the deck path to the beach. Overall enjoyable.

Another great week at the beach

My family has rented this property for a number of years now and always enjoy our time. Plenty of space and amenities for all. We were blessed with great weather, which always adds to vacation time. We will do it again!

Great property for our family get together. Easy foot path to the beach and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group of 5 adults and 8 kids. We appreciated the amount of dishes, silverware, cookware, and utensils available in the kitchen. Check in was simple and property was clean. The spiral staircase was a bit tricky to navigate with luggage, and none of our kids were quite comfortable with climbing it, but I imagine older kids and teens would enjoy it. We would definitely stay again.

It's our second time here. Had another great experience staying with my big multi-generation family. The beach was beautiful. No crowd. There were lots of rooms and the house was clean. Price is very reasonable. The whole family loved it so much and we plan to book here every year.

We've come to love this home and look forward to returning year after year. It is perfect for our family gatherings. The main floor is wide open and leads out to the great deck that overlooks the lake. It's an easy walk to the beach, so everyone is coming and going all day long! The A/C is monster strong and we never run out of hot water. All the appliances work perfectly. The owner is very nice and responds very quickly if I have a question. This is a very joyful house.

Great getaway for large groups with Unbeatable Beach Access

We just returned from another wonderful Memorial Day stay, and this house continues to be perfect for our large group—19 of us this year (10 adults and 9 kids). The space is well-equipped for families, with high chairs and other thoughtful items for the little ones, which made things much easier.The beach access truly can’t be beat—just steps away—and the sunsets from the deck are absolutely beautiful. The large table where everyone could sit together and enjoy meals as a group was also a great feature we really appreciated. The beach wagon and beach chairs provided are also super helpful. It’s an older home, but it’s been beautifully updated with plenty of modern amenities. That said, the basement bedrooms can be a bit noisy once the rest of the house is awake. For our group, it wasn’t a major issue, but something to keep in mind if you have light sleepers.Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for making memories, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Great family vacation!

House is beautiful clean and well maintained. Very comfortable bed and furniture, well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. The beach is absolutely gorgeous. The only thing I would mention is the steps to basement and driveway are quite steep. But over not a big issue. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully return someday!
