REVIEWS "We were all agreed that the property exceeded our expectations for location near the lake, cleanliness, decor ( awesome Mid-century vibe), and supplies (incredibly well-equipped with above average items). We thoroughly enjoyed the big windows looking at a lovely treed and landscaped yard front and back plus a great pool table set-up in the lower level with a nice fire pit on the patio in back. We were supplied with lovely beach towels, water toys, beach chairs and bikes. This rental is a 10 out of 10!" Linda W. "We were so impressed with this property the house was immaculate and decorated with so much detail. It was a great location to the beach. They had bikes, beach umbrellas, and plenty of beach towels. There was so much space. My teenager really enjoyed the pool table and campfires. They had great restaurant recommendations as well as other activities. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into making this house the perfect rental for vacation. A great experience for our family to enjoy this beautiful area." Holly B. "The Beachwood-Bluffton was an excellent choice to spend time by the lake. The beaches were just steps away. The property was super clean and had everything needed to enjoy our stay. The kids loved spending our nights by the fire pit making s'mores. Highly recommend this property for families." Jessica G. "GREAT house! Exactly as described and well appointed with everything you should need to have a great time. SO close to the water, just a short walk away. We would definitely stay again" Robert D.
