Excellent view, great owner. Extremely relaxing.

House was exactly as advertised. The owner was relaxed about our use of the house and extremely up front and organized about any visits he may need to make and any unaddressed problems that there might be with the place (ie - missing BBQ utensils and coathangers which were replaced the next morning). It had also been cleaned top to bottom just before our arrival.
All the basic living needs were covered and I don't watch TV, so the undersized sets were no problem. The real attraction is the wonderful breakfast area on the upper floor which holds 6 people for breakfast easily. Looking over the water and watching the boating take place was the most stress releiving experience I've had in a long time.
One warning I would have is that there is an air conditioner in every room, and if it's very hot they would be essential (although most of the time there was a cool breeze). Because the rooms are small the sound of the conditioner can make it very difficult to sleep.
All in all this was exactly what I was after and would definitly stay again.
Definitely bring your own router/airport if you have one. There is only a wired connection.
Short distance to a reasonably priced water park (sailboats, kayaks, catamarans), however on the day we wanted to go it was too windy and the trip was aborted.
The golf clubs in the immediate area were either residents only (via a special permit) or expensive.

Owner's Response: They are a wonderful family and we enjoyed have them.
This will serve to address the issues about golf, TVs and the Internet:
Within 3 to 12 miles of the house there are 11 public and municipal golf courses, which many of our past guests have played over the years. This is first time anyone was unhappy with the cost or accessibility.
Most of our guests seem to like watching TV on the 30" set in the living room. There's a small TV upstairs in the sunroom, where people prefer looking out at the scenery instead of watching TV. A larger TV in that room--no matter where it was positioned--would tend to partially obstruct the panoramic water views provided by the large wrap-around windows.
Our Internet access via high-speed Optimum Cable was found to be adequate by all previous 35 renters.
Thanks,
Mike and Joan
