Beautiful lake-front, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviews4 months ago

Our stay at Vanessa's house was tranquil and picturesque. The washing machine broke down a few days before our arrival, but Vanessa remained on top of it, and made sure it was in working order before we checked in, which we appreciated tremendously. We couldn't beat the view of the water and only wish it had been a bit warmer so that we could have appreciated the gorgeous back porch area. Thank you, Vanessa!

Cornfield Point Cottage on the Beach

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviews17 months ago

Ocean views from downstairs and two of the upstairs bedrooms are spectacular. You couldn’t be any closer to the water. You can go to sleep, listening to waves roll in. The sunsets are magnificent and there is a glassed-in room to watch them or you can watch from the brand new patio. The house has an open floor plan downstairs which our toddler grandson loved. Very clean, uncluttered beach house feel. Jonathan was extremely helpful and responsive when we had a question.

Field of Dreams Hot Tub - Fire Pit Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 59 reviews3 weeks ago

This was my second time staying at Field of Dreams and it did not disappoint! Brenda’s home is beautiful, spacious and has everything you could need. She is extremely accommodating and even left us some welcome goodies to kick our weekend off! The house itself is easy to get to and not far from the interstate. It was extremely clean and in a quiet and overall private area with a great open concept living area and beautiful backyard and deck space. I would absolutely recommend staying here!!
