We loved our stay! The house was perfect- clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. I adored the covered patio and sitting in the swing down by the river. The kids loved being on the water (though beware jellyfish!). We highly recommend this house.

While the location of the house being on the water is amazing….. the rest of the house needs updating. The furniture is also mostly outdated. The outdoor furniture looks beautiful in the photos but all of the cushions were off & the furniture was scattered & not set up. There were several pairs of shoes on the back patio which was strange. There was an odd smell in the house. We did find a bag of orange peels & rotted onions in a cabinet in the kitchen. Not sure if that was what the smell was, but it was gross. There was a small fresh blood stain on the mattress pad in one room. I wouldn’t stay here again unless they did a renovation & more thorough cleaning.
