The property was clean and nice. The views were beautiful and we really enjoyed spending time on the deck and the dock. The only issue was that the upstairs was quite warm. The AC is an older system that kept the downstairs cool but not the upstairs. But we used fans and managed. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed7e6150-f459-4bc5-9cb0-4327e1471d48-1750635203389.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1faf788-09c4-4d50-85bb-39c615bbae42-1750635203589.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a22be91-9239-418a-ba3a-eefdcee8ab72-1750635234441.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Virginia B.
