As this is a vacation home, there are exterior security cameras at the front and back of the cottage. There are also always on security cameras that cover the boat dock (incl. off limits boat and jet skis).
If fast internet access is critical, then unfortunately this is not the place for you. While we do provide WiFi access, the service is not great, and can be slow at times. As a result, you may experience buffering when watching TV as that uses the same network. Complete outages are also common during and after storms. Unfortunately the only internet service currently available in the area is a WISP. It doesn’t help you booking now, but for future reference, the good news is we are scheduled to get fiber fast internet service in the Spring of 2024.
You will have access to the boat ramp (see listing photo) in the community common area. Access to the common area is controlled by an electronic gate. Common area rules and regulations must be complied with.
There are two kayaks that you are welcome to use, but the boat and both jet skis are strictly off limits. Do not sit, stand or climb on the boat or jet skis. Kayaks must be removed from water when not in use.
As shown in the listing photos, our boat (on lift) occupies the covered boat dock, and our jet-skis (on lifts) occupy the left side of the boat dock. The front of the boat dock is available to tie up your water toys. Please check water levels before tying up as water levels fluctuate.
The cottage is on a septic system and as such, any products other than toilet paper are not to be flushed, and all food, cooking oils, grease/fats and coffee grounds must be discarded in the trash.

Me and my family rented this beautiful property for 3 nights for my birthday weekend. We had an amazing time on the lake as the property has its own beach for my 6 year old son to fish and play all day in the sand. Our host also provided kayaks so we definitely took advantage and explored the lake further. The view from the back porch gives you an opportunity to catch the beautiful sunsets while preparing dinner or just relax on the comfy cushions. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and there was not much traffic to take a walk around. The nearest Food Lion Grocery store was about 10 minutes away, while there was a convenient store and gas station even closer. We found the property very welcoming, organized and extremely clean. We forgot to bring few things, but the host surprised us by having full kitchen essentials and laundry supplies. Host also was extremely responsive to our needs or questions and we really appreciated his attention to detail while hosting us. We will definitely be there again next year to spend our vacation time by the lake.
Host was super-responsive and eager to ensure the stay went well. House is clean with excellent amenities. The kayaks were a big plus. The Wi-Fi worked fine for us. We appreciated the bottle of wine the host provided. We loved the bunnies and heron that visited the quiet cove each day. We would stay again!
