Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location near the beach with great views of lake from master bedroom and large screened in deck. 1 bath towel per person for the week. No beach towels or beach chairs. Basement bedrooms have unpleasant odor. We brought an air purifier and it helped. When showering in floor with two bdrms, water leaks under floor boards. We had to move clothes in bdrm to not get wet. Minimum kitchen set up. Nice large table for groups. Upstairs bedrooms has no window that opens outside and no closet. Also has large opening with shutters opening into living rm, so noisy. It is priced lower than other homes and we made do. .

    The house has a wonderful view of the beach, and it was easy to get to the beach and to pretty much everything we wanted to do. Talking with the management company was nice and easy, too, and they were really responsive. Unfortunately, we had serious issues during our stay. Two of them aren't really anyone's fault; the AC and downstairs shower were leaking a LOT of water, and it was clear it was a recent development. It did mean we had seven people sharing one bathroom, which was rough.The worst problem for us was that when we arrived, the house smelled awful, like something died in a wall. The company sent someone out very quickly, and he discovered that it was the garbage disposal. He cleaned it enough the the smell mostly went away, but it still rancid if you used the sink. There's no way the cleaning crew didn't notice this issue when they cleaned the house prior to our arrival, so someone chose to try to cover up the issue and hoped we wouldn't notice instead of actually addressing it. Very nice property, we had a great stay, but hopefully the management team is able to address the issues the house is having so that future guests have a better experience.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice views, and access to the beach is a little convoluted but definitely walkable. Layout of the house is odd with lots of wasted space in the interior - more space in the downstairs bedrooms would be useful. Kitchen was not stocked very well with utensils or cleaning products and the garbage can didn't work.

    Youngest grand child was told we would go to the beach if she would get potty trained. She did it! Gamaw and Gampaw brought everyone to the beach!Everything wan nice at the house. The carpet in the basement was wet when we arrived. I immediately notified management. The maintenence guy said for us not to use the shower in the basement. Sort of hard to get 9 people cleaned up after spending our days on the beach.Hopefully they will have it resolved before the next guest arrive.We all enjoyed the house, views and lots of space to spread out. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of bath towels. Having a washer and dryer made it convenient to keep towels clean and ready.Will definitely return in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wanting to get away for a long weekend of rest and relaxation, we chose the hilltop location from the panoramic views of its ads. We were not disappointed. In fact, the actual experience far exceeded our expectations and the breathtaking views from the enormous deck were unbelievable, morning , noon, and night. A large extremely comfortable location and with a dramatic, yet relaxing great room awaits anyone wanting the ultimate getaway.

    Yes, there are a lot of steps to get to the beach and a winding staircase in the house so not best for everyone, but the view of the beach is great and there is a large screened in deck that makes the already ample living space even better. THe downstairs bedrooms have two double bed size bunkbeds which were not the most comfortable. There is a den on the bottom floor too with a TV that was nice for the teenagers. We had to go out and buy stuff for the kitchen. It is set up for a short stay or someone who doesn't plan to cook for a group. FYI: To the owners: A friend of my brother's, who is your neighbor, wrote a negative review that went under his name since he had booked it for your guest. It was not from him and he wouldn't have posted it! He didn't know about it till I rented the house and saw the review. Sorry.

The house was clean and there were plenty of towels. The stairs were a challenge and the bathroom situation wasnt the best. Beqch accwas across the atreet which was awesome.
