Liked: Cleanliness
My husband, teen daughter, and I stayed here for a short weekend getaway. The condo was clean, access was easy, and location was exceptional. You have access to both the Crystal River and a lovely beach on Lake Michigan just steps out the back door. The community felt very safe. It is a small space for 3 people (teens need a lot of space). That was the only downside, but I would definitely rent this space again for just my husband and myself!

Property as pictured. My husband and I spent a week at this property and we really enjoyed the space and proximity to the lake. It is cozy but we were able to make breakfast and lunches there. Would recommend.

The property appeared as described except it is an older wood building on sand and on the water. The property has an ant problem that wasn't disclosed. Ants everywhere. All day. All night. Crawling everywhere.

Great location!

Great location in the Homestead resort. Studio style condo. Had to give three starts because of cleanliness and condition. First we stayed the last weekend in October and I don’t think anyone had been there for awhile. They were spiders in most all of the corners of the rooms. Laminate flooring is well worn in the main area. Bathroom - tile floor is old and grout is very dirty. Shower grout was moldy and shower curtain was also dirty. Kitchen - the combo sink/stove/refrigerator is cool put that refrigerator didn’t work. There is a newer mini fridge, but it doesn’t have an ice maker, so which was a bummer. Slider to beautiful little mini coastal water way for kayaking. Close to the pool and restaurant.

Stay at Tall Timber

Proximity to Crystal River and lake Michigan beach was amazing. Just steps away. Room was clean and comfortable. Kitchenette was very dated and not really suitable for making meals. The serenity and views help make up for lack of fully functioning kitchen. I have been doing VRBO's for the past 10 years and all correspondence on this unit was through an IT based system called Vacasa. This was one of the worst communication situations I have ever encountered. You never communicate with a real person and answers don't match your questions or comments. If this is the direction VRBO is going I'm not sure I want to do any more.

Unclean

The only reason i didnt give 1 star is because it is easy and convenient. It would have been a beautiful place to stay but we avoided being in the room as much as possible. The room was filthy with dirt, dead mayflies (which looked like large piles of dirt) and huge spiders. We probably killed 5 in our 2 nights. This place made me realize, you get what you pay for.
