We (4 adults and 7 children) all had a great stay. The house was as described. Well-stocked with the basics and beyond. We can tell the owners took time to think of everything guests would need to make their stay comfortable. Walked to the beach a couple times and enjoyed the scenery. The screened-in patio was our favorite room.

Our stay was everything we could have hoped for. The hosts were great with communication, even answering many questions before we booked. The house was spotless when we arrived, the kitchen was stocked with anything you could need, and the family room and 3-season rooms were great for relaxing. Even in the cold months, the outdoor firepit was a wonderful place to spend time while the kids played on the turf. We stayed over a cold Thanksgiving week, but can not wait to come back in the summer months to spend time on the beach.

This house was perfect for our family of eight. Everything was super clean and well designed. We spent most of our time on the screened porch- we loved that we could seat everyone at the table and also watch tv on the sectional in the morning. The fire pit and bocce court out front were an added bonus. It was about a two block walk to the beautiful beach. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our recent stay. The house was very clean, and in a great location. Close to so many Harbor County attractions. Can’t beat the short walk to the beach either. We’ll definitely visit again soon.

This is a great house. It had everything we needed for a wonderful beach vacation. Beds and furniture are comfortable and in great condition. Kitchen was well stocked but not over crowded like some rentals. The large screened in porch was perfect for large family dinners. We enjoyed the bocci ball court most evenings. Gas fire place is real plus. We’ll be back.

Very happy with our stay

Excellent amenities and space for the entire extended family. Lots of gathering spaces and a short walk to a very private beach space. This was a highlight with the beach area itself being free of rocks and lots of sandbar space. Highly recommend this rental for family gatherings.

Fabulous house near the lake

Gorgeous home, very new and clean with great layout and amenities. Space for everyone and really well appointed. The common spaces, both inside and out, are great for gatherings. The bedrooms are spacious, quiet and really comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms are high end. Private beach is a couple of blocks away. Owners are great communicators and very nice people.
