The house was incredibly dirty and in need of updating. The outside and beach area were full of garbage. Very disappointed.

Great location and convenient layout of the property

The house on the lake is very well situate with direct access to the Matanzas lake. The property is conveniently built on one level, and has great amenities to enjoy a lake getaway vacation. Fishing, kayaking and spending time outdoor is facilitated conveniently. The house itself is well provisioned with everything necessary for the stay. Welcome bar with snacks and drinks is also included. The location is awesome. There is no back and front yard, but the property is still appropriate to accommodate families with children from different age groups. In overall, good value for the price.

Unfortunately, the expectation were not met. The home was not clean and not maintained well. It is spacious but not what we had hoped.
