"Perfect getaway for a family of 4"
Hidden Gem was such a great find. The property is very clean, in great condition, and has all the amenities needed and expected for a beach getaway. It was very easy to feel at home. The porch and backyard are wonderful. Short walk to the beach and having the wagon and beach gear provided for us was amazing. Despite being right off the main road, you can't hear too much noise. In fact, walking to dining and stores is so convenient. Will definitely come back. Great for families who want an escape and get off the grid - wifi and streaming does not work well. Plan for other activities instead and enjoy!
"The house was wonderful!"
Everything was beautifully decorated with high-end furnishings , art, and linens. The kitchen was stocked better than my kitchen at home. My only disappointment was the location. It was right next to a highway but I didn’t realize the amount of traffic noise there would be. They said it was a 3 block walk to the beach but did not say it was pretty inaccessible for older folks with bad knees. But all in all, it was a beautiful, comfortable home. (The beds were fabulous!) I would highly recommend it with the caveat that the noise was disappointing.
"Perfect Family Getaway"
The house set-up was perfect for our family getaway (3 couples). Beautiful decor and very comfortable beds. Well-stocked kitchen made meal prep easy. Nice size dining table for meals and playing games. Comfy living room for just hanging out. Very weak internet so don't plan on streaming any TV...bring DVDs. Was a little difficult to find so Hidden Gem is the perfect name.
"Loved the house and property"
Loved the house and property, although noise from the highway and trains was less than ideal. (That is location specific and nothing against the house or amenities provided.). The layout and size of the house was ideal for 6 adults and one infant. Would rent that house again if it wasn't located so close to the highway and trains.
"Great House"
We loved the location! It was walkable to the beach with our 3 young kiddos. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. We loved the screened-in porch and beautiful yard. We would definitely recommend.
"Great location!"
Great location! Walking distance to town and the beach. The house and backyard were lovely!
"Cozy Place"
This is a beautiful place inside and out. Inside is totally updated, including the bathrooms. Plenty of room to stretch out and a great kitchen for entertaining. Front porch is great for hanging out it’s closeness to the lake , restaurants, and shops makes it a great location.
