Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property is amazing! Located right on a sandy beach with a great view.Several kayaks and paddle boards available so we never had to wait to use them. Beach is clean, chairs and picnic table available for use.We went kayaking twice a day and saw some amazing wild life: bold eagles, loons, turtles and herons. Place is very private and quiet. We went with two small children and they cried when it was time to leave.Thank you for the great times and memories!
