Not as described on site
It was advertised that there was a microwave, which we were counting on for meals at least lunch. It was a 3 foot long and prob 50lbs and it was located in a closet. There was no way to get it out and use it. Yes, we could have used the oven but there is no air conditioning and it was too hot to use the stove/oven. As for the bed, the matress is about 5" thick and on a piece of plywood. The base is about 12" off of the ground. On our first morning there the owner knocked on our door to tell us we needed to leave for 2-3 hours so they could spray for spiders (we work 60+ hours a week and the time we were there was the only time we have to sleep in) she said we could stay but all the windows had to stay closed for that time period. Again, no ac so there was no way we could stay there. A couple of days later she was out on the deck directly in front of our room hammering at 10 am. The view from the deck is not what the view is on the online pictures. Yes, u can see the lake, but the yard is full of cinder blocks laying everywhere, old pieces of wood and metal. The yard is all over grown. The island itself is very pretty with a couple nice beaches, but all of the museums are closed and the lighthouses are ran down. We will not be going back.
