House was very clean, had very minimal contact with the host. Any correspondence was through the App. Unless you check on the VRBO App you don’t know if you have a message or not. I would have preferred have the owner’s cell if needed. AC worked fine, parking was great including a garage for one vehicle. Bring your own tissues, toilet paper and bar soap. I would not hesitate to return again.

The Good - Newer large house that will accommodate several. Large driveway to park several vehicles or even boats. Front gate can be secured. A/C works great.Double Oven was inoperative (and had to be known by Host), was replaced at 5pm, on second evening, during supper prep.The Not So Good - I had to call VRBO to the get entry code, forty minutes past check in time, after I had asked Host for it, two hrs prior, never responded. This was a major inconvenience as guest we waiting at house to enter.8 Adults stayed (and listed), there were 5 table forks & 5 salad forks. (please update your flatware)No flat sheets on bunk beds (lowers were used by adults). No instruction book at house. Outdoor cameras on all corners, that follow your every movement, hence a neighbor entering property to tell us about having a vehicle on grass (country weeds), which was temporary due to a trailer tire fix. Garage door wall opener inop, thank goodness we found the remote in a drawer. All electronic gear sits on a dresser in master, which is a light show, and makes noise. Outdoor grill accommodated 2 t-bone steaks at a time, enough said.Host would not communicate after day 2, we spent 7, so did not know when to put garbage to road. Bring your own garbage bags, wash cloths, flatware and laundry soap.Overall - Management should update needs of the guests, by supplying essential items and communicate.Turn OFF outdoor cameras upon check in.Us 8 would not stay here again.

Big Family Resort alternative

This place was by far better than any resort I have taken my family to. Simply because we are a large family and the in and out of check in, pool at the place, remoteness and calmness at the location was worth the stay.

Great place, location, and price!

Great stay, enjoyed pool on the warmer days! Great location, kids could bike down the dead end road, new clean place! Not a lot of towels, no washcloths or hand towels, and very basic cooking utensils... Also didn't realize therr was a fee to clean grill, however not a big deal, except no grilling utensils. Nothing big enough to take any stars away, I understand it's a new place and it is really nice! Definitely would stay here again!
