    This was a perfect place for our family. Great location. Our 20 month old twins were able to explore down by the water. House was very nice, perfect size for us all to spread out. We had 7 people in our group. Tons of space to run around in the basement. Great screened in porch. Very nice and clean. Owners very helpful with recommendations for activities in the area. Highly recommend this place.
