Great home with great amenities. We especially enjoyed the dock, kayaks and all the life jackets available. It’s pretty much just like it is listed. Great place!
Fantastic space with funky vibe. Lots of odds and ends that make for a great stay. Loved the espresso coffee bar! Ample sleep and entertainment area. Beautiful home and lots of views and space for the kids! Thank you!
This home was spacious, kid and pet friendly, and well stocked with cleaning supplies so we could clean up after ourselves! We also loved how towels were separate patterns so kids could keep track of them. Plenty of pillows, towels and blankets! The fenced yard was amazing for pets and little ones to stay safe. So many activities available for family members to stay engaged. AC units worked great for each room. Best place we have stayed!
This house is great! We had a large group with kids and pets and everyone enjoyed themselves. There are such sweet, thoughtful little touches throughout the house. Even a little Christmas tree! The kids took over the upstairs bedroom and loved having their own area. And they loved the little playset in the yard too. We did some fishing off the dock and enjoyed time around the firepit, especially since we had some colder temps. The hosts were great responding to questions and even lent us a space heater for a chilly room. The kitchen is well-stocked and the coffee/tea bar was awesome! Thank you so much for our stay!
The house was perfect for a small women’s retreat. Although there were not the number of beds I was expecting, we were able to make use of the space. Everyone said the beds were comfortable, the A/C cooled nicely and the massage chair was a hit.The outdoor space, covered patio and large yard,were perfect size for our group. There was plenty of seating, and with the tables and fold up chairs we brought we were able to seat everyone. However the “noseums” (little biting bugs) were bothersome all day and evening….it was hard to fully enjoy the outdoor space. We did enjoy the kayaks and took a couple of trips on the river/canal. I had a little difficulty with check in but the property manager reached out as soon as they realized I wasn’t getting the responses (may have been a VRBO app issue). Overall we liked the space and the area…relatively close to grocery stores, restaurants, and other shopping.
Stayed with family for the weekend to celebrate our mother's 70th. The house have lots to offer, rooms, water crafts, games, lots of entertainment and space. The host is quick at replying and seems nice. The only thing we did not like are several tripping hazard area by few doors. My 75 yrs old stepdad tripped and fell on his knees from one of the room door. One of the room that's supposed to have 2 queen bed only had 1 bed and the pool table instead. We still had a wonderful time with our stay.
