Beach was great!
View was wonderful!
Deck surrounding the house needs some TLC, but was a great place for coffee, and conversing.
Shower outside the back door was perfect for washing off sand.
No air conditioning in some bedrooms - ugh!
Washing machine stopped working and no one came to repair it.
Sand and dirt in the house when we arrived. Stairs had not been swept or mopped. Sand & dirt under couches in living room and beds in bedrooms. Some covers in bedrooms had bugs on them.
Kitchen floor had not been properly cleaned in who knows how long. Kitchen faucet dripped constantly.
Bathrooms were not completely clean. Hair was evident around toilets and sink.

Extremely unkept. Smell of mold- particularly upstairs. Needed to do cleaning myself at beginning of the week.
Numerous items under the couch (cherry tomatoes, stuffed animal and dirty s socks). Used tooth brush in the bedroom.
Poorly stocked kitchen. Very little grass in back- mostly mud. 5 windows would not open at all. (Difficult without central air.)
With that said the location was perfect. Shame more time isn’t spent on basic upkeep and maintenance.
4.0
The house is old, but nice. Great downstairs with fireplace, dining area and separate lounge area. Some lights did not work and one of the bedrooms is a bit cramped, but overall a very nice property. Access to the lake is very convenient and a nice experience.

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The location is incredible. Stairs right down to an amazing beach. Right down the street from good shops. Location/lot are incredible.
The house is pretty worn. Multiple broken doors, paint cracks, no central air, no dishwasher, lots of general wear and tear. But for what we wanted (young family beach vacation) it was great. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

The location was perfect! We were able to walk everywhere and the beach access was perfect!
The house was a little disappointing although the pictures didn’t lie they didn’t tell the whole truth. The downstairs bathroom was great! The upstairs bathroom had wall damage that had been repaired but not painted. The shower wasn’t clean and it was tiny! The comforters were stained or had dead bugs on them in two bedrooms. The kitchen was not clean….dead flies covered the windowsill and sink and counters.
The downstairs was huge and open which we loved!
