Fantastic home with fantastic amenities. Don't keep looking, just book it! This place is spacious and provides a ton of elbow room for your whole crew. Joe and Colleen are exceptional hosts with exceptional communication. There is so much to do in and around the home from the kayaks, to the pool, nice bicycles, fishing poles, lots of TV's, a great blue tooth speaker, fire-pit, a Blackstone, outdoor and indoor games and on and on and on. The hosts provide ample supplies and even extra items that many rentals just don't provide. The gigantic, multi-level screened in back patio is absolutely awesome! There are several great bar/restaurants right at the end of the neighborhood and the "Lazy Lizard" has live entertainment every day of the week. Sitting on the back decks and watching the sunrise AND the sunset (we were there in December) was so peaceful. So...book this house, give yourself some time to experience all it has to offer, and don't look back. You won't regret it.
