The water was beautiful and this location made it easy to swim out to the sandbar. ##### Tom D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas S. Aug 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful property with its own private small beach. Great quality dock. Has everything you need with a great grill that fires right up. Very clean, lots of beach towels. I would definitely rent here again. No dishwasher so we switched to paper plates. Outdoor shower was a fun adventure for the family. ##### Douglas S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025
