"This rental fit well with my family.Loved that it was right on the water with water toys for the kids and dock for the boat.The 2 queen bedrooms are downstairs in the lower walk out level, which I miss read, but we were able to shift people around that worked.There is plenty of sleeping areas for a large group.The kitchen was large enough for several people to work at once.We will definitely keep this place in mind when our whole family comes back."
