A well stocked kitchen. Plenty of space. The dog and the 2 year old loved the sandy beach at the dock. Older girls had a blast swimming by the dock too. The use of the boat lift was a huge plus. We all really enjoyed our time. The walk back up from the water was a little tiring, but I feel like it was easier as the week went on haha, nice exercise! It is a lovely home, nice view, good size, and pet friendly. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ccec492d-f179-40eb-a531-f712371f9572-1752267937829.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4db406e4-6e4e-4978-a93b-ed6a0fd3c28e-1752267927241.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10d2e218-a54b-4f9c-9613-6db4f7de42c7-1752267934486.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5b9bb4c6-cc90-4dc6-9db3-91f9cee882db-1752267926771.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jess T.
