The Beach House I

Such a lovely home and so close to the water! We had an amazing time and Natalie was a great host. Overall I think it was a great value for the price. I only have a couple pieces of feedback.1) The listing indicated that one bedroom had 4 doubles. We didn't realize until we got here that those doubles were actually the sleeper sofas in the common rooms. This was not a huge deal, just had to rethink some sleeping plans. The website they sent after booking did make the beds/rooms clear, but I didn't see it in the original booking.2) The internet was quite slow and made streaming difficult. Some of us were also working and that was challenging. They had a solid collection of 90s VHS that we opted for when we couldn't stream which was great. 3) The kitchen didn't have great pots/pans. The listing does say to bring what you need, but I wanted to pass along that there were no baking sheets and the pots/pans were fairly small for cooking in such a large home. They did have two griddles which were great.

It is a great property with lots of room for us all. There was a small step on the balcony that was a concern and needed to be made more noticeable so people wouldn't fall on it and the temperature control was a little confusing to understand. Other than that it was wonderful!

Internet service in the area is a bit weak. Guessing the router is in the other half of the house which we didn't reserve. We weren't there often but if you are doing a presentation it may be a problem streaming from the internet. There is a crib but we couldn't find crib sheets so you will want to bring your own. There was plenty of dishes for our group of 16 and plenty of gathering space. They have done a good job with the listing on the web site. These were the only things I noticed. There is a children's swing set in the back yard that is shared with the other half of the house. There is beach access close by but it is a bit gross. There is a lot of dog poo, So we weren't interested in going that way. The main area of town is in walking distance which was really fun.

So much space! Each family was able to have their own room, and the eating/gathering space was perfect! Room for all of us to eat together or play games together. The large island in the kitchen is great for food prep or dining. The deck is huge with a beautiful view of the lake. And we were able to walk to get shakes! Twice

We needed assistance. Each time I emailed I received a quick response with doorside service. It's an older home with all the charms. My suggestion explore when you arrive. Everything you need to cook is here. Look in every drawer and cupboard. The t.v. is theartre and cozy. The bedrooms and bathrooms are plentiful. Great for a large family. Thank you Natalie
