Lake Getaway
Couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating host. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. View of lake and canal in back.

Renters Beware
The property itself is great, but in desperate need of a renovation. That’s not my biggest issue. The biggest problem is that VRBO’s are not welcome at Fox Point 1. There are signs everywhere stating VRBOs are not allowed at the lake or park. The people in the neighborhood shouted “Private Beach” at us while we were there. I feel if this had been disclosed in the description it would have affected my decision to rent here. It was not a relaxing experience. That’s why 3 stars.

Relaxing setting with great hosts
I really enjoyed relaxing while looking at the canal. The house was clean and we had plenty of room at the dining room table for both of us to work remotely for a few hours. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
