Review from Stephen Saunders
House was amazing and clean. Perfect house for my family. House was very clean inside.. some clutter on side of house by outside shower. Dock could use little TLC but overall good dock. Amenities said they had a charcoal grill but did not . That was a bummer since we had brought food to grill. Driveway is tight to get a boat in. And even harder to get out. Due to the island and mailbox. All easy fixes. Will definitely book this house again especially if they make it easier for boat trailer parking. We have a 22ft bay boat so need a little room. Great location to everything we wanted to do.
