Nice secluded and spacious dock off the main cove
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location in the cove is great if you have a boat since it's tucked in a smaller cove and sheltered from the bigger waves in the main part of the cove. The dock was great for swimming off of and just lounging out and was nice to have a place for our boat. There are a couple spots on the dock that need to be repaired to prevent damage to your boat, but we added some extra bumpers in those spots just to be careful.
The property was clean and looked to be recently updated, but not all that comfortable as one of the 'bedrooms' was actually the main entryway turned into a bedroom. The outdoor patio with grill was a nice amenity. The kitchen/livingroom area was fairly cramped and while the couch looked pretty new, it wasn't very comfortable for just lounging in the house while trying to beat the heat.
Communication with the owner was good when we arrived, though I wouldn't recommend using the alternate boat ramp he suggested. There's a much better one by the lighthouse on the main channel about 1-2 miles east of the cove. He also let us use the laundry in the basement to dry towels and do a load of laundry, but we only learned about its existence after calling the owner asking where the nearest laundromat was. That should be included in the rental since it's almost a necessity for week-long rentals, so we're grateful he allowed us to use it.
Having a more comprehensive folder for FAQs would be nice to have.
