Review Score: 8

Summary: We are a family of 9. 5 adults & 4 children. It was our annual family vacation together. The home was more than adequate to meet our family size and our needs. Lots of comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked with just about everything we needed. Only item we missed having was wine glasses. The gas range was a bit of a challenge but we managed to figure it out. Terrific refrigerator which unfortunately would not produce ice but we just bought a bag of ice. Good dishwasher but was surprised there was not a microwave. Not a big problem for us though. Very much appreciated having access to and use of the washer and dryer. Home is well furnished and very comfortable. Beautiful deck off the back with a lovely hot tub. Appreciated having the gas bbq. We enjoyed the fire pit as well as the Lookout building with the lovely decking attached. We enjoyed the boats and appreciated having the life jackets that were supplied. Of note though is that there are not any childrens life jackets. Smallest is an Adult XS. Our family very much enjoyed our stay at this home. Lots of space to spread out, the kids loved the big yard to play in and all the activities provided. Short drive to the private beach area which the kids really enjoyed. Shawna was wonderful to deal with. Always quick to reply to any questions and very much appreciated her assistance with our entry into the home. There is already talk of renting again for next summer.
