Adequate but needs some attention
We couldn’t find any forks and other utensils because they were left in the dishwasher. Towels were missing as well, as they were left in the dryer but whomever did the laundry. Hosts should’ve emptied the dishwasher and the dryer and not make us do that. Furthermore, the day before our trip we were given a list of requirements: stripping the beds, placing all towels in the laundry room, etc. We paid a cleaning fee and yet, we did housekeeping upon our arrival AND before leaving, per hosts demands. The property sits on an extremely busy road, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not your place. The noise is impossible all day and all night. Property is adequately equipped otherwise, but don’t expect the pool to be welcoming, as it is surrounded by mud and you are not allowed to touch the water heater, so it is not “heated”. Bedrooms are comfortable, with plenty of sleeping spaces for a large family reunion, but kitchen is somewhat lacking. Bring your own baking pans if you want to bake a breakfast because there is none. Bring your own paper towels also - you won’t find any. Mostly, arrive prepared to fold the towels left in the dryer and put dishes away left in the dishwasher.

Family quality time
We stayed 1 night in August with our family, total of 15 of us and I have to say this place was wonderful!! Christine was so great about getting back to us about everything. We have stayed at other vacation homes with the same amount of people, but this house has so much room that everyone was able to have their own space, and not even all the beds were used! You do not have to worry about feeling crammed here! The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The host literally has thought of everything anyone may need, everything was well stocked. There was also so much room for the kids to run around outside and have a good time! I must mention the barn where there is a pin pong table and basketball court, as the teenagers loved it. I'm used to the teens sitting on a couch on their phones, but not here! I would definitely recommend anyone looking to spend quality time with their families in a beautiful environment to stay here.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay the property. There was plenty of room to hang out with family, and still have our own separate spaces. There was a slight mix up with check in but the host was great and resolved the issue. Would definitely stay here again!

Bachelorette
We stayed here for my cousins bachelorette weekend and it was perfect! The house had enough space for everyone. There are also so many outdoor hangout locations as well. Everyone raved about how comfortable the beds were. We all talked about coming back for a girls weekend because of how much fun we had. Highly recommend staying here!

Birthday celebration
Location to beach was great. I believe it’s still a “work in progress” to be a rental. Needs some updating, uncluttering and cleaning. Overall we had a great time enjoying family.

An amazing stay !!
My friends, family and I booked this home for a short weekend birthday celebration and it was the perfect spot. The home is very spacious with plenty of room for everyone to hang out and have their own spaces. Tons of parking space, beautiful kitchen with high end appliances, and a very spacious pole barn. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend for a getaway with things to do for everyone all ages!!
