July 2026

The house was great for our group of 12 and worked great for our family vacation. A few things to note: One room with a full and a set of bunk beds is off the master, which was odd. Guests had to walk through the master to get to that room and it shares a door with the master bath. The ad stated 1 paddle board and 1 kayak so we brought more. When we arrived, there were 5 kayaks and no paddle boards at the house. The water pressure is not great and you can’t wash laundry while a shower is running or they will still be dry after the cycle is done. There is a roach in the laundry room that didn’t bother us as the washer and dryer are in an area closed off from the house. He scurried under the dryer every time the light came one. We named him Greg. The sliding door is very difficult to open and close and we used the door to the outside off the master most of the time. There was not enough seating in the living room for our party of 12 and the furniture that is there needs replaced badly.
