Best for
This rental is best for large groups—multi-generation family trips, reunions, and friend getaways—thanks to sleeping for 14 with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It’s also a strong fit for pet owners, with a pet-friendly policy and a grassy area for dogs, plus a waterfront setting and dock access for boating-focused stays.
Travel tips
Plan arrival around the 4 PM check-in time and the 10 AM check-out, especially if coordinating a large group. Because a 2–3 night minimum stay applies and cancellation refunds depend on timing (14 days/7 days), confirm dates early. If you’re coming for the water, consider arranging a boat rental in advance to make use of the dock setup guests mention.
