We booked this property for a weekend getaway and a train ride with friends. This property was beautiful and better than advertised. This is the first property that we have booked that there is nothing negative to say. It was very clean well equipped and the communication with the host was outstanding. We highly recommend this property!

Beautiful location and interior cleanliness and updated design. Lower level guests (Wednesday evening and especially Sunday night ) were extremely noisy. Well after midnight with one group and from 2:00am to 3:30 am for the group from Texas that arrived Sunday night.

Beautiful place, thoughtfully decorated. The location was ideal for exploring the town and for heading to the beach. Watching the cranes fly past the deck as we had our morning coffee was a particularly wonderful treat.

We had a lovely stay. Pictures true to conditions. Kayaks and grill perfect for our needs. One suggestion that would make the stay even a notch better would be if the windows were cleaned after the long winter, given the beautiful views. Hot water doesn’t last too long, so space your showers if you visit. Would stay again!

Our windows were fully cleaned inside and out at the end of April, but with all of the heavy rain and being at the lake, they may need a refresh. Our cleaner cleans inside windows after every guest. Thanks again for staying!

Great Stay!

The upstairs unit had a generous deck with lovely views of the canal that goes out to the lake. A quick walk across the street and you can catch an incredible sunset! Inside the house we had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and everything was super clean. I highly recommend.

This property was perfect for my little family. It would be nice if there were a few more outdoor chairs on the second floor but we made it work. The property was clean and comfortable.

Perfect location!

We had an amazing stay! Great communication with host, and the listing was exactly as pictured/described. Many amenities were provided throughout the house that were convenient. I can not express how perfect of a location this was. Easy quick walk to the beach, restaurants/bars, but far enough from the main road that it was quiet. We loved the amazing deck that overlooks the canal. We would definitely stay here again!
