We had an amazing time! This house is located in a perfect location; short walk to a beautiful park, out the patio door to a nice beach. Short drive to free Mini Golf and the Aquatic Park for swimming if you want a day away from the beach. There was a Walmart, Hy-Vee and Fareway close by for any shopping needs. Dairy Freeze very close and walking distance for Ice Cream and some foods. Coffee shops close by too! House was as described, clean, cozy and big enough for my growing family! Had a nice dock, outside furniture and kayaks for use. Beach towels and a couple of floaties for the lake - we left a few extra for future guests too.Really the only downfall - the weather was not real cooperative; but that was out of the control of the host. We made the best of it by enjoying the outdoors when we could and playing games and watching tv with a little R&R when we couldn’t be outside and this house was the perfect location to do it! All in all - we would definitely stay again at this location! Thank you to our hosts for providing us with an amazing vacation and home away from home!

Great Location!

This spot right on the beach is a perfect family getaway. The beach at the property is so close to being level with the yard so there’s no stairs down the bank. Really nice place that has a nice layout for families. This location is within walking distance of the public beach, kayak rentals, restaurants,etc. We had a great time.
