I hesitate to write this review because I don’t like less than 5 stars; however, I would have reconsidered booking this property & chosen someplace else if I would’ve known a few things. Upon arrival, the house looked OK & the 1st floor was cute. We appreciate the Lakeside decor & charm. However, there were some things with his property that were off-putting. For instance, there was a lower floor in the basement where we expected to be able to have visitors sleep. The smell of dampness & mold/mildew was overbearing. We had people sleep on the couches instead of sleeping in the basement because the smell was bad & it was filled w/flies & insects. Perhaps placing a dehumidifier could help resolve the issue? Another issue that made this property not enjoyable was the clear & evident lack of upkeep & maintenance on the exterior. Normally, I wouldn’t pay much attention to the outside, but since it’s a Lakeside home, we were looking forward to spending our days on the balcony to enjoy the water views. Unfortunately, the thick cobwebs, dirty windows/skylights that were filled with insects & dirt along with an overall lack of upkeep on the exterior kept us from fully enjoying the experience. Again, just a simple adjustment like having someone pressure wash the outside & clean the bugs & cobwebs & debris so that it felt clean when we were sitting would’ve made a huge difference. Lastly, the well water was pungent of sulfur & needs to be treated. We avoided drinking & showering.

Beautiful details inside newly refurbished home, plenty of cups, plates, utensils (great for large party of guests), lots of paddle boards and lake “toys” to use, great location so close to beach. Fantastic place, I would’ve given a 5 star rating even without the $20 Amazon gift card they offered ;)

We spent several days at the coast for a family reunion and enjoyed the two homes on this property immensely. Both kids and adults loved the paddle boards and kayaks with lots of time spent playing in the lake. We loved having the lake to ourselves - our time at the ocean was cut short as everyone preferred the lake! The house is well appointed, and I appreciated the frequent check-ins with opportunity to communicate with iTrip employees via text, email or phone. They were very responsive in fixing a bed frame that was not secure during our visit. ____One of our teenagers has already asked if she can have a graduation party here in 4 years! I think we'll be back!

Our family of 18 (8 adults, 10 children) spent 6 nights at this private lake vacation home. We split our family into the two homes but gathered in the main house. Positives: Management staff was very helpful, friendly and responded quickly to issues. Very quiet and secluded home. Very good wifi. (No cell signal in the area). Beds were comfortable. Plenty of clean towels and beach towels. Private sandy beach was great for the kids. Nice to have canoe and paddle board, a few life vest and some random sand toys. Plenty of TP but only one roll of paper towels for a weeks stay. Concerns: which we brought up the management team and they said they would address: 1) dirty dishes and silverware in the cabinets, 2) crumbs in the silverware drawer 3) scratched up teflon pans, 4) debris on the floor and dirty stained carpets. 5) dog hair in bedsheets (which was changed right away), 6) patio wall on deck in main house needs to be painted, 7) patio furniture in the 2nd house was pretty weathered, 8) exterior windows main house needs to be cleaned (dirt and cobwebs) 9) outdoor equipment under the deck in main house not maintained or organized, 10) blinds missing in 2nd house master bedroom. It was unusual to have windows in the house taped up and doors that were locked. It would be nice to have high chairs in the two houses for families with small children. There is a pack-n-play in the second house. Overall rating: 3.5

Property was great. Peaceful lake minutes from the beach.

Beautiful property with a spacious home. Nice personal touches like a bottle of wine awaited us for our stay. Plenty of bath and beach towels for the whole family along with beds. It was also nice to have life jackets and a canoe available. We planned this trip for our mother to spend one last trip with her girls, grandkids and great-grandkids but unfortunately she passed away sooner than expected so we took the time to spend it together as she would have wanted. Thank you for the beautiful stay.

What a fantastic place. Our family rented both houses and had the best time. Complete privacy and so much to do. The beach sand was obviously brought in, not the rocky stuff. Canoe, Kayak, floats, anything you could want for a beach day, right outside your door. The pictures are great but can't do justice to the real thing. The main house is quite roomy and we had all our meals there for our group of 20. I-Trip was very fast to respond to my texts if I had a question or issue. We definitely hope to stay here again!

The property is sooooo amazing for 3 generations of our family!!! The main house is HUGE!!! The "little" house is so great also! Our grandchildren were able to play in the water safely ( the littles had life jackets on, of course). They were able to swim, paddle board, learn to canoe and did some fishing too! We saw wildlife! A Momma deer with her baby, an otter, a bear way across the lake and a pair of Bald Eagles several times each day. Hot tubs were amazing! The internet was a bit interesting, BUT it was AOK because the daughter-in-law put a time limit on phone use for the teenagers and NO ONE was upset cause there was soooooo many things to do without a TV or a phone in their/our hand. We played many games and talked with each other!!!! (We found cell service was better up by the road). The main house has a huge area for the family to cook, eat and play games and still have room enough not to be stepping all over each other. As Grandma, I felt very comfortable having the grands out playing in the water because it seemed very safe!
