We had such a wonderful stay here. The hosts worked with us and were very accommodating. We had a holiday meal with family at the property, and everyone had a wonderful, relaxing time. We definitely would stay there again. The property was clean and just as advertised, and the sunset over the lake was beautiful.

Great Stay for a Holiday Visit

We had a nice time visiting with family and this property gave us plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The beds were low to the ground, but incredibly comfortable. The views were awesome and the location very nice. We would stay here again.

Although we had planned for a large sum of our family members to stay with us, the whole still provided ample space for those who did attend the holiday dinner. The Lake view was amazing. There was plenty enough space for us to walk our dogs and everyone in the neighborhood seem to be very friendly. I would recommend this home to anyone that would like a rental that is just as cozy as your own home

Lake life fun

Wonderful location, great house. Right on the water - canoe trips in the morning and enjoying the wildlife all day long. House was fantastic for our family to enjoy time together all week. Communicating with property manager was easy with prompt responses each time.

Nice place

I booked this house for my wife and I, along with other family members, to stay while attending the wedding of our youngest daughter. We chose the Carolina Lakes community because it was fairly close to the wedding venue and also because our middle daughter and husband live here. We were allowed an early check-in on Friday. Inside the house was clean and well-stocked with necessities. Inside, there is something of an unpleasant odor. To me, the house smelled of curry. Although there is a beautiful view of the lake from behind the house, it would be nicer if it were cleared of some of the trees like other neighboring houses. Inside the house was very nice, but the front could use some major landscaping work. None of these things adversely affected the enjoyment of our stay, however. Because of the wedding, we did not get to spend as much time at the house as perhaps we would have liked. Overall, it was a good experience.
