We are a family of 5 who stayed at Taylor's property in Mid-July. This property is one of the best stays we've had through VRBO, and we've had many. I'd say the communication was the most impressive, with immediate responses to any questions or hiccups. As well, the cleanliness of the house was top notch. We also appreciated the little extras we didn't expect. A surprise was waiting when we entered the home, but I won't be specific so as to not spoil it! The kitchen items went above and beyond, with spices, and plenty of bowls, plates, cleaning supplies and more. I was surprised at the laundry detergent as well. The garage set up as an entertainment room was awesome! We use that every day. All this said, I would recommend that the description of the property was a bit more accurate. I would not consider the property lakeside, and the water a few houses down is just water access to launch a Kayak or canoe.
The closest beach that is on 160th St. is about 1.5 miles. It's tiny and I really wouldn't consider it a beach. However, Holland State Beach is beautiful and only a 5 minute drive. We were always able to find a spot close to the water for "home base". It also has concessions and bathrooms that are very convenient. The fact it was a drive was no big deal and we were fine with it. Overall, I would highly recommend the property for a family or a friends' getaway. Thank you Taylor for a wonderful vacation!
