The house was clean and very well equipped. It is a nice house and a good stay. A couple of items to note:1. The home had a smell of pets that may have previously occupied the location.2. The keypad on the downstairs door would not work properly, may have needed batteries.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Very poor communication with the host air conditioner did not work asked to get it fixed the first morning I was there and no one responded the whole time. I was there for the next four days supposed to have access to kayak the paddles were in the garage which we had no access to garage locked up neighborhood. People were rude and nasty would not recommend this place at all to anybody. Going to try to get some of my money refunded,the house was so hot no one could sleep really disappointed!!!!!

Do not rent this house
Air conditioner was not working when we got there. House was hot called the first morning. We were there to get stuff fixed. Property manager said somebody would get a hold of me that day which never happened to the next four days. We were miserable trying to get sleep, my whole family could not sleep. It was way too hot in the house tried to do some activities. They advertise kayaking that didn’t happen because the kayak orders paddles were locked up in the garage, which we had no access to which we also spoke to the property manager about which nobody ever did anything about a lot of faults advertising in this house. The only thing that might’ve been a plus worth the house was pretty clean OK clean did have bugs

Peaceful getaway
House was big and plenty of room for our family. Loved how it was surrounded by so many beautiful trees and with a quick walk down to the beach you were at the lake. Even better was being in walking distance of our friends down the road. Would definitely rent again.
