Exactly as described. Great location only minutes from town. Very quiet neighborhood and easy to find. Our family loved it and would rent again!

Adorable property that felt private and tucked in a natural surrounding. Just an easy 10 minutes from downtown. A relaxing atmosphere that I highly recommend.

Family Vacation

A little more of a walk to the beach than we were expecting,but it was a quiet area good for family. There were a couple of deer roaming the neighborhood that our grandsons loved seeing.

Hey Bonnie! I'm glad you enjoyed your time in the area despite the longer-than-excepted walk to the beach. My favorite part about visiting that neighborhood is all the cool wildlife that wanders around. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! All the best, Shores Vacation Rentals

We had a great time! Lake was beautiful and we loved the woodsy-ness and privacy of the property. The walk to the beach is okay - not very short but not too long. Kind of like the distance of being on a “beach block” in a beach town.

Lake vacation

This property was just as described but better. Everything was spotlessly clean and fabulously equipped. This is a nice quiet location two blocks from the private beach. The beach tram was a hit with my 88 year old mother. It was easy to visit the surrounding towns.

House is in a great location with beach access as described. The house is well equipped. The house needed some cleaning from the outside as it had cobwebs and spiders at all the enteryways. The inside of the house was clean except for the sofa which needed a cleaning. The response of the host was excellent. The TV remote was missing and we informed the host and they delivered a new remote by late next morning.

We have stayed at TLC before in 2023 and it was the same as this trip. Normally, it is a quiet neighborhood but a house was being built across the street on this trip. We would rent this house again because of the house layout, quietness, nature is always walking through the yard and we love walking the private beach area.

Thank you for staying with us again! It means a lot that you chose to return to TLC By The Lake. We appreciate your understanding about the temporary construction nearby, and we're glad it didn't overshadow everything you love about the property—from the peaceful setting and visiting wildlife to the private beach access and comfortable layout. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing stay!
