Great house to integrate with friends

by 5
The open space in the living area is amazing. The cooking amenities are also great. But most of all we loved eating dinners outside next to the water.All rooms are comfortable and bathrooms are good. There is plenty of things that make the house fun, like two pianos, garden-room, poker table, pool table.The area surrounding the house is very nice and quiet. We all feel like we should come back again.

Beautiful home

by 5
This was a perfect place for a large group. The outdoor space was beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked for entertaining unlike most VRBOs where you only get one pan and a few plates. Management was very attentive.

The Get Away

by 4
Everything was fine. The only thing that I suggest is to lock your car doors while staying on property. Had some valuables, and car registration stolen from glove box.
