I would never recommend this stay to anyone. The post is inaccurate—there is no gym or dishwasher; we were left one 3 oz shampoo for 8 guests. Upon arrival we found the pace dirty with torn window screens and unsafe conditions. The outlet for the hot tub was burned, the deck step loose. Lanscaping and waterfront are nothing like the pictures. In response to a request for a 50% refund the host offered us a discount if we stay again. I’d rather forgo the bug bites.
