Pontoon not included, but there is an open boat slip on our dock (mid-June through mid-October). 2 kayaks are included.

Cottage has modern amenities such as central AC and heat. Nice decorated and very comfortable with large bathroom and a/d. Kitchen and bathroom both extremely well stocked. Loved having use of two kayaks and the fire pit, although we didn't use, is a great bonus. We enjoyed our usual Big Bay Area activities and hope to be return guests.
