Important and much appreciated things that are both unusual for vacation rentals: the beds were quite comfortable, and the AC worked well! Using the kitchen was a little challenging -- the vent does not work very well (which was indicated in instructions). The oven needs to be set about 10 degrees higher than you're aiming for. There is a lot of plasticware, but glassware is limited, and there were only 2 coffee mugs. The bugs that love to come into the house and hang out on the ceiling are alarming, because they look like mosquitos, but they seem harmless. The property was right next to the bridge, so there is a lot of traffic sounds -- not exactly zen and peaceful, which it looks like in the pics. We made good use of the kayaks and the float pad, and the husband caught a ton of fish off the dock, once he started using worms from the store just down the road. The owner was quite helpful when I reached out re: boat rental (we decided not to, because of timing and the water being super choppy the morning we wanted to go out.) The other thing to be aware of is there is no easy entry/exit into the water, other than the dock ladder, so our pup couldn't go swimming (he's almost 100 lbs, so there would be no way I could haul him back out.) Other minor things: the washing machine seems cantankerous. It turned on once but would not do so again. Also, there are few bedside tables, so we had to make do with empty boxes and chairs. Overall, it was great for a quick getaway!
