Beautiful Home and Spot
Rating Details:
The property manager was very helpful.
The vacation rental was spotless.
I was very happy with the location.
I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.
Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.
Reviewer Comments:
The house was absolutely beautiful. Very roomy and cozy. Our favorite was the screened in deck. It was so comfortable with all of the furniture out there. We probably spent the majority of our time out there. The view was beautiful and relaxing. The dock was very nice. And let me also mention the kitchen, this was probably the best stocked kitchen of any house that I have ever rented. It seemed every little thing was thought of for cooking. We mentioned several times during this visit we will definitely be renting this spot again.
