Easy access to the beach, despite a short walk through the parking lot. Beach attendant was awesome for the included two chairs, umbrella that come with the rental. Friendly and helpful. The office staff was very responsive via text which was convenient. Grounds and unit were all well maintained. This unit was nice to have the lake view to enjoy when we weren’t at the beach. Decorating was nice, beds comfortable. Kitchen could use a could extra pans, pitcher, etc but was otherwise just fine! Easy access to restaurants, shopping, groceries. Family agreed it is a place we could come back to! Thank you! ##### Erin R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra C. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Right on the lake so waking up and going on the balcony in the morning was so relaxing. The walk to the beach was less than five minutes. We will definitely book through the management company again. ##### Sandra C.
