Great location

This property is in a great location on Lake Anna. Has cool amenities, like a fire pit. The only issue that we had was the internet did not work when we arrived but the property manager helped me fix it quickly, even with it being late at night on check in day.

Stay at Orange Beach

This property is perfect for a group of friends, college-aged individuals, or older families. The property is a bit more run down than indicated in the pictures, with several things beat up (such as the basement stair railing, the wall of the kitchen, smudges in the paint) and I don't think it would be great for young children. But, overall it is a gorgeous house and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is private and away from neighbors including a private dock area, outdoor fire place, a kayak and paddle board, and a beautiful patio. Really perfect for a spring break getaway, short summer stay, or any other vacation need.

Great house for casual lake hang

This house is older and built without passing a stringent permit process, so it has some odd little things— like the 4’ head clearance going down the stairs into the basement. The spaces are not grand or commodious if you’re used to luxury, but they work. And this place matches my style/values better than any other house on lake Anna. The one thing that really ought to be fixed was the first floor bed. The center support is broken and the head is lower than the foot. Previous reviewers had mentioned that the beds were terribly uncomfortable— I think this is where that gripe comes from. It would have been unsleepable, but we built temporary supports out of books. Then it worked fine. I will probably return to this house again!

Lots of Potential

This house has lots of potential but has a way to go. Several pieces of furniture and a mattress were very stained. The refrigerator did not work well, we had to keep ice in it. The basement felt musty and the ceiling to the basement was VERY low. There is also a weird door that is not painted that we weren't sure where it lead to. There are electric cords in closets and several outlets that did not work (including the bath upstairs). There is no large frypan and there are very few glasses and teaspoons. If they say they can sleep 9 people there should be enough glasses, etc. The stovetop has a huge crack across the top. It worked but kinda scary to cook on it. There is only one dish towel and no large fry pan. We had a good time and the view was gorgeous, but want people to know what we encountered. Not impressed with Vacasa. Hard to communicate with. The early/late checkout is handled poorly. Oh and the code we were provided did not work. Took 30 mins to get in.

Disappointed

It is a beautiful setting and I could tell a lot of updating has taken place, particularly on the inside, but it wasn’t a good experience. All large beds proved to be very uncomfortable. One couple left early. No one slept well. The electrical wiring appears to need a professional electrician. One outside light does not turn off. It’s switch must be replaced or rewired. There is a loose wired dual outlet on the bottom shelf of the kitchen island. The stairway to the bottom floor at one point is only about 5 feet high. The last stair is about 4 inches. This suggests to me the house is a DIY that wasn’t thought through or built properly. An exterior door to a storage room on the lower deck appears to have rotted off. The outside is safe but dirty. There is a lot of junk stored out back (tires, gas’s cans, old skidoos, trailers and much more). Understandably the trees make the decks dirty but I’d recommend the wash it down before renters arrive. It appears they’ve put a lot of money into rehabbing this house with the inside generally very clean and in good shape. But they have a long way to go.

Lovely home but Vacasa is not worth it!

This home was adorable. Great view of the lake and fantastic setup for our family of four. However, I was very disappointed with Vacasa and will be avoiding any Vacasa homes in the future. Super high fees and very little to show for it. Instead of being able to connect with the owner, or even a property manager who was familiar with the house, we were linked with different “guest service representatives” (at least one of whom was unfriendly and unresponsive) who didn’t know anything about our particular property -including having the wrong Wi-Fi info — and gave corporate-like answers instead of meaningful answers that you would get from an owner. This was all the more disappointing given how high the Vacasa fees are, and how late in the booking process you are informed about them. I will be avoiding Vacasa bookings in the future. Very disappointing VRBO experience!

Great lake property

Beautiful piece of land right on the lake with great outdoor seating and scenery. The house itself is beautiful with many bedrooms. Very clean and spacious. The twin bunk beds are incredibly wobbly (would recommend avoiding the top bunk), but otherwise, all accommodation was good. Would also reocommend bringing basics (coffee, EVOO, salt, pepper) as these aren't on hand.

Great location, sunrise views, modern house

We enjoyed our stay, the house was well appointed and very tastefully done. Electronics all worked fine, beds were comfortable, and place was very clean. We really loved the view of the lake from every room which never got old.
