Very nice location. Quiet. The only problem was the internet. Which controls the tv. It was in and out daily. The management and owner were extremely helpful.

Waterfront vuew
Overall loved our stay at Round House retreat on the Bay. Outside area was beautiful with bay view, dock and sand beach. Quiet with neigbors on one side. Great central location to groceries, restaurants and activities. Kitchen well stocked. Appliances somewhat dated, but worked well. Itrip very responsive to couple minor issues. Only drawback was uncomfortable beds, and would have used grill more, if it waa a gas grill.

Great location but cheap
We loved the location and always enjoy renting houses in this area on the bay. However, the lack of amenities was shocking and would keep us from returning. There weren't any trashbags provided (only the one in the trashcan), only one paper towel roll, no cleaning spray (made it impossible to clean up after cooking), the cheapest bars of soap...no hand soap and no soap at all on the kitchen. The mattress was so bad we tried out different beds hoping it was just the one we picked but they were all bad. I've never stayed at a rental that was so poorly stocked. Very unwelcoming.

Enjoyed our stay at Roundhouse on 280
Wonderful place for a quiet retreat for our group of elderly cousins. The house was very comfortable and roomy enough for a relaxed stay. Management was very responsive to our needs/concerns. While there were very few negatives I would still like to share them with you. Bedroom 3 and 4 were advertised as two separate bedrooms that shared a bath. In truth, that fourth bedroom is attached to bedroom three and there is no egress from that room other than through bedroom 3. Same for the bathroom. It is in bedroom 4 and guests in bedroom 3 have to enter bedroom 4 to access that shared bathroom. Did not like that at all! We loved the two walk in showers and would suggest that handicap bars be placed in every shower/tub for safety of guests. We could never get main television to work. While that will likely be a problem for future guests it was not a problem for our group…allowed us a more enjoyable time to visit. No doubt, mattresses on all beds could be better and likely need to be upgraded. We would consider a future rental for this property.

Peaceful and Perfect
Check in was easy. Property was exceptional. We took canoes, a hammock, and bikes. It was perfect for relaxing watching the dolphins and fish in the water by the fire or from the dock or porches and/or enjoying a short canoe ride with them. The house was spacious and cozy. I loved the layout. The only minor negative I have to say is that the beds themselves are not real comfy and very loud/squeaky if you move in them at night. I move a lot in my sleep so it was a bit annoying to my spouse. But, the beds were nothing we couldn’t deal with considering all of the other fantastic pleasures of the property. It was a fantastic trip. I hope to get to stay at this property again someday.

House fine needs upgrading
Appliances did not work well
Lift up to house needs to be operational as we had a handicap person and the stairs were very difficult for her
Boat lift needs to be working as well
Spend a good amount of money on a place and you expect it to be up to code and everything working right
Need instructions in book as to how to get to places and also where things are in house ( DVD player etc)
Also cleaning not very good in house there was al sorts of fur and stuff under trundle bed and dead bugs in corners

Amazing stay!
This property is absolutely amazing! The house is huge (we had a group of 11). Kitchen is fully stocked and there was sooooo much for the kids to do! The bay can be deceiving on depth, it was only about 4 feet which was perfect for the littles! We saw several dolphins every night!
My ONLY complaint was that the oven doesn’t cook like it should so it took twice as long to bake our food, which isn’t a big deal as we had plenty of other things to do while waiting! I would most definitely book here again, the place is gorgeous inside and out!

Weekend getaway
We enjoyed being at the roundhouse. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. There was adequate bedding for our big group. I will say the refrigerator didn’t get as cold as it should, but besides that, the kitchen was nice. The sunsets were beautiful, and we even saw a few dolphins swim past. We also really enjoyed playing cornhole as a family. We would definitely stay here again.
