The pool unfortunately was not operative during the time we stayed so doublecheck if that is important. One note, the walk to the dock is an extremely steep downslope. And the area around the dock does not lend itself to swimming. But we had jet skis with us so we were able to go to a great little beach area just 5 minutes from the dock. There is also a boat launch in the immediate neighborhood so you can launch a boat and be at the dock in 5 minutes. the neighborhood itself is very quiet and makes for an enjoyable walk. It is a bit hilly, but beautiful nonetheless. We would definitely recommend this home! ##### solange v.
