We completely enjoyed our stay! The house is gorgeous, quiet and peaceful with great views from the windows and decks. I loved the decks overlooking the trees at the back of the property. There was even a hammock in the backyard and great landscaping around the fire pit. We walked and rode the provided bikes along the wooded path behind the house and made s'mores in the fire pit (firewood is available at Piggly Wiggly, bring sticks). The outdoor grill worked great!
The kitchen has a dishwasher with double drawers (it starts when the start button light is purple), and a super fast gas stove. I loved the pantry next to the kitchen to store all food not needing refrigeration. There are lots of large closets.
We had a great time using the 2 kayaks provided for exploring St. Joseph's Bay (bring life jackets and rope for transporting kayaks -there were some bungee cords). The 3-person kayak sat a little low with 3 people so wear swimsuits. We saw crabs, hermit crabs, minnows, birds, and even a harmless water snake.
The beach entrance wasn't far and we loved using the many beach chairs (can be worn as backpacks) and the kids loved the boogie boards provided as well. There were beach towels, ample toys, floats and shovels and there was a beach umbrella but we didn't try it.
We had an amazing time and can't wait to return! The managers of this property were super helpful!
