The property was a wonderful space for our family, another family who joined us, all 3 of our kiddos, and our two large pups. Perfect home base as we explored the island, lake swimming, beach combing, crabbing, shopping, hiking, and having a great vacay.
Cleanliness was a bit of an issue, but the owner let us know that their family, with five kiddos, live in the house every other week, so it was understandable that there was food left in the fridge and so on... it's definitely a lived-in house. Once we settled in, we appreciated the ease of not having to worry about being spotless ourselves... it took the pressure off and was nice to just be on vacation... although I am a clean freak and can't help leaving a space cleaner than I find it.
We enjoyed having enough room in the yard to tire our pups out with ball play, and the neighborhood was great for walks. Lots of deer and other dogs, so a close eye and leashes are a must.
The firepit was awesome for roasting hotdogs and s'mores.
The owner has the house well stocked with any supplies needed, and was wonderful with communicating.
The beds were SO comfortable... we slept great every night.
The HUGE dining table was great for family meals and games together.
We very much enjoyed our stay, being able to have our pups with us, and room to invite our friends up to join us... that really was a much needed blessing. Our hearts are full.
