We had a wonderful stay. I would suggest, if you like cozy/softer beds, to bring your own mattress topper. The mattresses are a little dated/firm. The neighbors were pleasantly friendly. If you enjoy waking early, you can sit out on the patio and watch the neighbor roll his yard with a large riding “steamroller” machine. Nice location on the water. Enjoyed watching the ducks swim around. ##### Kellie S.
