Jake quickly responded to my last minute request for booking and any questions I had to assure me I was making a good decision. A year long VRBO reservation cancelled us and I found it comforting to find an owner that I trusted. He even verified the beach chairs available and replaced an umbrella with a cabana before we arrived to give us what we needed. My husband and I along with our daughter, spouse and their 3 children 8,6, and 4 found the house setup perfect for us. We even had a first floor bedroom that we didnât need but was a backup for quick changes for the children. Outdoor shower in the backyard that entered by the laundry, and a clothes line in the backyard dried our suits and towels quickly. The pool table was popular, but the 6 seater golf cart was the childrenâs favorite. Any excuse to ride to the pool, go out for ice cream or a nearby dinner was met with enthusiasm. And that pool was a true treat, especially when we were encountering double red flag days of do not enter the beach water. We still went early to Grayson beach State park early and enjoyed non congested beach time, but also the lake there with the boards provided by the home owners. Read the book Steph created, so helpful and organized! Thanks
