Ward was great

Some unfortunate things took place at the property. Property was great more to do with family members of owners. Daily checking of the property made us feel a little uncomfortable.

great weekend

only things i would recommend - cleats for boat ropes be installed - outside furniture was rusty - replace outside steps - maybe put up a rope or something across the carport space you don’t anyone parking in front of . i thought the sign meant to not block the next door neighbors . i didn’t realize the owner would be staying downstairs the things i loved most - king size bed was so so comfortable - loved being on the canal thanks for sharing your home

Caution

Comfortable beds, nice kitchen cabinet, nice deck on canal, adequate parking, nice swing on lower deck, yard nicely manicured. Caution: outdoor rusting and broken furniture on upper deck, and rusty chairs on lower one; several electrical outlets did not work including all to right of kitchen sink and outside upper deck; one of laundry room louvered doors kept getting out of the tracks and near the end of our stay, the entire door fell on me; when owners arrived in the middle of the night- 3 nights before our stay ended-the smell of their cooking entered the master bath and bedroom - very unpleasant smells
