Everything was as described. House was wonderfully arranged and decorated. There's 4 full bathrooms in this house! Beach access was close by. Chelsea Beach was a 5-minute walk down the street. The natural gas fire pit was an extra comfort for evenings lounging in the backyard.

This was our fourth year here. We've already booked for next year. This is probably the cleanest property we have ever stayed in! The location is perfect and beautiful. The host, George is the best. Excellent communications - you need something, he's got you covered! This is our home away from home. It's nice to be able to keep going back to a place and know 100% that you will have a great experience. We look forward to coming back for many years to come.

This was our fourth stay at this wonderful house. As always, it was spotlessly clean, furnished with everything you could possibly need, has very comfortable beds, great showers, excellent climate control--and to top it off, a spectacular view of the lake. This continues to be our favorite VRBO. The hosts couldn't be any friendlier or more accommodating. This is the perfect place for peace and quiet.

We had the best experience staying here, both times we have visited. The property is not only immaculately clean, but very well appointed-like staying in a fine hotel room, but cozy and with a lot more amenities! The bathrooms had more clean towels and shampoos and soaps than we needed. They even have a washer/dryer, which we didn’t use, but nice to have available. Little touches are everywhere in this home that make it a real pleasure to visit, and the view can’t be beat. There was even coffee, condiments and snacks. I would definitely stay here again and again. Great place.
