My husband and I (and our dog) enjoyed our stay at Life Aquatic! Very clean and conveniently located home! It was perfect for our lighthouse, fossil, and rock hunting vacation. The views of the water were really nice from the kitchen and main upstairs bedroom, and we were lucky to have a warm and sunny day to pull some patio furniture out from the boat house to enjoy! We had fun playing the card games and Sega Genesis system at night! The hot water heater capacity left a little to be desired for showers, but it definitely didn't spoil our time. Overall a positive experience at the home and with the property manager!

We had a great time staying at the beautiful home this past weekend! We were able to get on the lake, do some hiking, some fishing, and had a few bonfires complete with s'mores! The beds and linens were very comfortable and the grounds were very conducive for our family and our dog. We loved all the different areas to spend time together for meals, and games. We look forward to spending time at your home next year. The hosts were very helpful and always available when we had questions. They were very helpful in keeping this home in tip top condition!

We came for a family vacation. We were very happy with the house. It had everything we needed. It was very spacious and comfortable We brought my elderly mother and it was very easy for her to get around. Nice having a main floor bedroom and full bath. We loved sitting outside. Beautiful view and very peaceful. It was close to town and conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. We would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at this property, but there were several concerns future guests should be aware of. One of the chairs was already cracked and broke and still set around the fire pit during our stay (which eventually cracked more and we got charged for it), and the advertised charcoal grill was not functional — requiring us to purchase our own for 100. The kitchen windows were noticeably dirty on arrival, with the garbage cans already full (we had 3-4 days before we could take the cans out to the curb)The greater disappointment, however, was in the handling of the security deposit. While we accepted responsibility for the items we did damage, additional charges were applied for pre-existing issues and normal wear. In hindsight, I wish I had taken photos at check-in, but I had assumed these matters would have been properly documented prior to our arrival. I would strongly recommend that future guests carefully note and photograph any issues upon arrival to avoid being unfairly charged.
