We arrived on the island and found the house very easy. The driveway is gravel and quite steep but it’s short and once you are on the property you are relaxed!
There were some cleanliness issues such as a vape pen stuffed in the cushion of the couch, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling fans upstairs and the basement bed had dirt and pine needles in the sheets. Since it’s a pet friendly home, expect a slight odor of dogs in the upstairs bedrooms. The house is laid out well and the bunk room on the main floor for the kids was perfect! The bedrooms upstairs are spacious with lots of storage. I wish the beds were more comfy as they were a lot harder than we prefer, but since it’s a vacation rental it’s understandable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, dishes, coffee maker, toaster, etc! Everything we needed was there.
The game room downstairs in the basement was so much fun! We played a lot of pool and board games. We also used the fire pit out the basement door in the grass. We saw lots of wildlife including deer who showed up to munch on the blackberries.
The lake is just a short walk down two flights of steps and a short path away from the house. The dock is in great shape and it’s super peaceful at the lake. The marina for the community club is just a short drive away and there’s an lovely beach to walk on while you watch the boats, seals, birds, and other ocean life.
We spent a lot of time on the main level balcony deck listening to the birds and enjoying the forest surroundings.
If the cleaning crew paid a bit more attention to the overall cleanliness of the house, I’d give it five stars.
Overall we had a wonderful time!
