May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot for multi-family stay The view over the lake was beautiful. The home had plenty of space for our 3 families to spread out. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and playing in the pool. Very simple to access the nearby public beaches and having the 6 seater golfcart made transporting beach gear easy. Definitely recommend this home. ##### Stephanie A. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025
