This was our 3rd year visiting Manitou Beach, and really like the amenities and recreation in the area.
The place we have stayed the previous 2 yrs wasn’t available for the week we were traveling, so we looked at this property.
Our party was bigger than the listing afforded, but looking at the pictures on line, I felt the space should suit our needs, so I contacted the owner and asked if it would be a problem to have more than the listing, and if there was an extra charge. She stated “That is fine”. When we arrived, the owner noticed there were more of us than the booking stated, and raised the issue with me. I told her that I had contacted her and said that she said it would be okay. Later she came and asked for an additional money.
I paid the extra $ as I did not want to have the issue spoil our vacation that we had travelled 6.5 hrs to get to.
As for the property itself, I was pleased to see it had some amenities that were not listed on the site, such as a BBQ & a fire pit. The yard was nice for our 2 small grandchildren to play in when we weren’t headed to a park or the beach, or other activities.
The site lists the property as air conditioned, but this is a wall A/C unit in the utility room that does not circulate to the bedrooms. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t as warm as last year when the temperature hit 38C one of the days. We went to the hardware store in town and purchased a fan to circulate the air better, and that coupled with the cooler conditions, the temperature in the unit was tolerable. We did open windows at night, but the one in the room I was in didn’t have a screen on it, we avoided bugs by keeping the light off in the bedroom.
