We enjoyed lots of time at the beach and biking on the bike paths. Some furnishings and fixtures could use a bit of repair, but that’s to be expected in an older home. Overall it fit our needs very well. ##### Diane J. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine E. Oct 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful little place with charm I loved this stay and would totally recommend it. The walk to the lake is fabulous. My only hesitation in recommending it was, as described in the great communication from the host, was the parking and wayfinding was pretty tricky since we got in late at night. Providing a precise GPS location would have definitely coming in handy. ##### Elaine E. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander E.

This is a charming house filled with sea-themed knick knacks. It was furnished with plenty of towels and blankets. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, etc. It was very easy access to the lake. The owner/manager was very responsive to my pre-visit inquiries and was also very helpful to our on- site call about extra parking. ##### Marie C.

No window coverings in some bedrooms and bathrooms. Wouldn't recommend for those traveling with toddlers or folks with mobility challenges, but good for others looking for a porch with a view and short walk to ice cream and the beach. ##### Marjorie S.
