Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Family Getaway My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful vacation retreat. I wanted to spend quality time with my children and grandchildren all in one place. And I needed to be on water. Goal met! The beautiful beach, numerous toys, campfire pit, swing and stunning sunsets were all a bonus! We had such a wonderful time. So much fun that we only left for grocery shopping. Clean home, comfortable beds and spacious enough for a family of 10 to spread out and relax. The owners were always very prompt in answering all questions. We Loved our stay!
