Overall the property was great. There was several maintenance issues that was needed (rusted chains on swings, loss and/or rotted board on the deck/stairs, mold in master shower, doors difficult to open/close, etc. The view was great and the distance to the beach was incredible. It would be nice to have a fire pit but the distance to the beach wasn't too bad for doing a campfire there. It would also be nice to have a bridge to walk to the beach (the one that is there is private property). The only negative on check in was the need for directions, not just the address and instructions for the door since it was awkward for opening/closing. There is a lift there which would be WONDERFUL for loading/unloaded but it isn't available for use. This could have been communicated too so we didn't get our hope up. LOL. Overall, I would go again!!

Summer Vacation 2025
The house itself was very nice, and the view was great. We were very happy with these aspects of the trip. However, there was quite a bit of trash both inside the house and outside in the grass / sink left from the guests before us that we felt obligated to clean up to avoid being "blamed" for it ourselves. It wasn't anything super gross, but we found several beaded necklaces, bracelets, bottles of water, and adult beverage cans that were left behind. In addition to this, the downstairs shower is extremely slippery and has no bath mat. On the day we arrived, I slipped when stepping into the shower and had to go to the emergency room in Winnie. I informed the property manager's office of this issue when I returned the keys.

Maintenance Needed
The property itself was beautiful and was a great walking distance to the beach. The upkeep could be improved. We had burned out light fixtures, couch pillows that had been urinated on by dogs, mouse droppings in the couches, and soiled bed pillows and mattress pads.

Great view
Other than my youngest child being bitten by ants the first night when she went to bed it was an amazing stay and would come back again. The ladys who check you in and out were super nice. Nice view and easy access to the beach. Close to food but far enough away from all the crazy.

Needed a break!
The house was beautiful and looked better than the pictures. Linens had to be requested with a charge. We had to make the beds ourselves. There are 2 king size bedrooms and a bedroom with 2 queen size beds in the same room. The bunk room was bigger than the pictures had shown. The bunk room had its own bathroom and the master bedroom has an ensuite. The 2 rooms downstairs share a bathroom. Great views from the decks. Loved our stay!
