We decided to rent a house down the road about a mile from the Resorts. The price was right and its nice to have a place all our own. We moved in on the 29-30 of June. Can you believe it took 3 trucks loads to move us from a one room apartment to the little house? And that is no furniture being moved. We have purchased a lot of things along the way... mostly kitchen things as we love to cook.
Now, being I have never lived on a lake I don't know the answer to this... I call the front of the house the side that faces the road... Phil says the front faces the Sea or Lake back home. So if anyone has the correct answer, let me know. So we will make it fare and call it the road side and sea side...
This is the view as you walk into the house form the road side. This is before we cleaned it up. It even smells like a MN cabin! Nice BIG kitchen! Lots of cupboard, a 2 sided sink, and a DISH WASHER! The oven and stove even have a broiler!!!! Its so great!
Below is the sink and stove... there are vines growing in the window... we hope on our next days off to have someone help with the much needed yard work.
Below is going out the door to the road side and the little door to the right is the bathroom.
HUGE fridge too! Bedroom door just past the fridge. 
King size bed. nice and firm!
We went form one short dresses with 3 drawers to these to babies! The furniture is made by the Mennonites. Beautiful stuff!

King size bed. nice and firm!We went form one short dresses with 3 drawers to these to babies! The furniture is made by the Mennonites. Beautiful stuff! Notice the AC in the wall. Well, it doesn't work. And that leads to a "Well, that's Belize" story. I guess these things have a frame that mounts into the wall. The AC's are screwed into the frame for shipping purposes. When you install one, you unscrew the unite form the frame, install the frame then slide in the AC unite. Well, not so much in Belize... Phil has found many AC's that are still screwed into frames with shipping screws and installed into the walls...as the one in our little house. But to add to the wonder of it all, the wood trim around the AC is GLUED ON TO THE WALL!! 
Above, looking back to the road side door. Got to love our table and chairs! 
And this is the "family room" or "TV room"... The TV works!!! It takes a bit to warm up and have the picture come in clear... Anyone have that at their cabin too?
OK... if you walked all the way to the end of the house, this is the last part. The old porch that was finished into a room. You can see the air matres in the corner... we have been sleeping there in the evening breeze... very nice. Then we are up with the sunrise. I love this room! We play cribbage here, read books and I have my morning coffee looking out to sea. 
This is the little screen porch that has another door going outside to the Sea Side...
Front of the house... I mean Road Side of the house. Notice all the weeds. Yes that is a nice garage. It has a broken washer and a broken dryer fully included in the rent! :-) Phil is going to do his best to fix them. Please also not the nice big beautiful beach house to our left. Most of the houses in this area look like that... ours is one in a million! And for sale! I think like 400,something... 
This is the side yard. These are hibiscus and another flowering bush... that is the vines that are growing into the kitchen windows. We plan on making it look good over the next few months.
So this is the Sea Side below
It has a shower on the back, that kinda nice. I washed all our plastic furniture outside there this morning before work. The sun dries things fast.
And there is our beach. We are in a shallow area so it take a long walk to get to where you can swim free. The beach needs some TLC too... lots of a"stuff" to clean up.
