Having the boat launch and dock right there on site was perfect for us. The kids could swim whenever and we could go in and out on the boat all day every day. There is also a restaurant/gas place for the boat 4 minutes from the house dock to fill up. The house was exactly as advertised and clean. The host was easy to contact, and he made the home feel like home by allowing its full use of all amenities. It felt more like visiting a friend’s home than a rental. ##### Robert W.
