What a perfect place! We absolutely LOVED this house! Although the indoor of the home was just wonderful, we spent most of our time in the yard, which overlooked the lake. It was incredibly peaceful and just perfect!

We enjoyed our stay and great location. In respect to premium property this did not fit the typical VRBO rating. Beds and pillows hard, property is aged and yard is a bit unkept.

It was excellent, beautiful and quiet. The house has a few areas that need "finishing", but didn't take away from the beauty! Would stay again.

Perfect Place

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It was all that we needed as far as space and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The beach and a park were at the end of the street and town was conveniently close by, too, which made it so much easier to walk than worry about parking. There were plenty of shops in town to enjoy and the local restaurants were all very good and with a golf course, wineries, and the beach all so nearby, there was plenty to do and hold our attention during our stay. It's a beautiful home and a beautiful area.

Loved the view

We enjoyed our stay and loved the beautiful view. It was chilly while we there so a fire pit on patio would have been nice. We all thought the beds were very hard and while the house was nice, it definitely could use a little TLC. Screen door to patio was very hard to open and close and the house had a musty smell.
