Wonderful little house in a gorgeous setting. Direct access to a private beach along with kayaks and paddle boards made for a great getaway. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was not great; spotty coverage and very slow/laggy. We were unable to get any work done on phones/laptops, and since there were only smart TVs at the house, we could not use those either. The setting more than made up for the lack of technology, but we would not recommend this for someone hoping to do any work during their stay.

Our stay was great! The house looks just like the photos and had a lot of nice amenities for a larger group. Beds were comfortable and clean, and there was a great binder with local recommendations for things to do as well as detailed information about the property. Host was also extremely responsive and kind!

Amazing stay with so much to do. Easy check in, the house was spotless, and everything was as described. There were so many activities at the house games, paddle boat, paddle boards, kayaks, fishing, volleyball, and so much more. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for all. Kitchen was well stocked and very clean.
