Amazing home with spectacular views. You could not ask for more in the way of water activities. Between the kayaks and paddle boards and swimming in the pool, kept us all entertained. The home was beautiful and clean and had ample kitchen supplies for cooking a meal. The bird feeders were also a hit, who needs a TV when you can watch the birds feeding. We loved it and hope to rent again and again. Thank you Glen for being a great and attentive host.....

Perfect stay right outside the city!
Me and my friends stayed at this property for two nights and absolutely loved it. It’s extremely spacious and perfect for a friends getaway or even family.. plenty of space in the driveway to park and street parking. Loved the fact that the surround sound system is throughout the entire house and even at the pool house! You can play music in every room you’re in. We enjoyed using the grill and hanging by the pool majority of the time. We also went paddle boarding around 5 AM to catch the sunrise.. The Host was very attentive! Only thing to be careful for is shutting the doors with the locks on them because you can get locked out if you don’t turn the lock off the sliding door - other than that, everything was perfect. Quiet beautiful neighborhood, very lowkey. I enjoyed staying here with my friends.. will definitely stay here again!

not good
I had a bad experience with the cleaners. They have to tell them to arrive at 12:30 to give the guests time to leave. The cleaners arrived at 11:53 a.m. That is very bad.

Beautiful stay!
My extended family stayed at this beautiful home over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was an easy check-in process, and the communication with the owner was simple. The house is just gorgeous, with lovely views of the Mystic Lakes. We had terrible weather while we were staying here, so we didn't get to enjoy the access to the water, but... next time!
