Our family had a lovely stay here for Thanksgiving. We are 4 adults, 5 kids ages 10 to 15 and 1 dog (Labrador). We all had plenty of room, privacy, and comfort. We ate all meals at the home, and the dishwasher had no problem keeping up with our 2-3 loads a day. Our favorite parts were the 2 living areas (great for folks to watch tv in 1 area and others to read or talk in the other), the canal and kayaks, and the play set and volleyball net. Plenty to do and entertain the kids. We enjoyed walking the dog on the trail parallel to the canal. Everything worked great: heat, kitchen appliances, plumbing, internet, tv’s. One part of the house is an addition, and the older part has furnishings with a more dated style (green bathroom tiles, etc), but everything was clean and functional. I had several questions before arriving, and the owner responded promptly and helpfully. The setting was private, and we were very comfortable in the neighborhood which was kept up nicely. We drove to the beach once but would have gone more if visiting at a warmer time of year. Canal was easy enough for tweens to kayak on their own. Linens were clean and seemed new. Only complaint is that several light bulbs were out which is an easy fix. Recommend staying here for a peaceful retreat with its own backyard space and canal.
