First, you will not find more accommodating, nice owners, than Brandon and his wife. Their thoughtfulness and quick responses really made us feel cared for and appreciated. They went far above to make us feel welcome in their home.
Second, the location was absolutely perfect. Very close to shopping, golf courses waterparks and restaurants. The home sits on the Jean Guite creek (shallow not choppy waters) and the home sits in a quiet fairly upscale neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac. Great for bike riding and walking.
The home provides many outdoor activities any family would love. They provide multiple kayaks, swimming boards, has firepit for s'mores, great fishing area and plenty of lawn chairs. They boys caught many fish including catfish and a 37 inch gar and a bunch of other fish.
The inside of the home offers all the cooking needs you will need including spices, cleaning supplies, towels/Beach towels extra linen so no need to pack. Although, the home is an older home with loved and lived in character. There are certainly plenty of beds and bathrooms and views and balconies/sunroomfrom 3 out of the 5 bedrooms. Waking up to the views made us not want to leave. The home is very pet friendly with a gate/fence around the property. My 2 were in heaven playing outside!
Again if you are looking for a large outdoorsy cabin feel this home is perfect. There are some minor things that could be addressed like the wooden stairs into the water is a bit unsafe, some of the decking seating, the primary bathroom has an awkward layout and shower pressure was to be desired, but hear the upstairs was decent. (Although if you are tall the home was a bit challenging including the living room furniture, shower upstairs and beds are all very close to the ground.) But beyond some very minor details and you are not super finicky looking for the Ritz-Carlton for housing, this home really does make for the perfect family retreat! I would definitely consider staying at this home again for our family to make many more great memories. Thanks so much for a perfect 10 year, last minute anniversary getaway, for our family. Your hospitality was superior and are utterly grateful for the time we spend at your home.
