10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Overall the house was great. Backyard, deck and landscaping can use some TLC. Only item we were slightly disappointed in was the lack of usable waterfront and that we did not have access to dock and piers for HOA as pictured with the property on the listing. Access to the water here would put it over the top. Again overall satisfied with the stay. Despite receiving email that coached us to ignore navigation (google maps) directions, found it was actually right vs the one we received via email.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Disliked: Check-in
The place was clean for the most part. Living room furniture was not comfortable. Lake was down and looked more like a creek during our stay which was a bummer since that was a big reason for choosing this place. The exiting security gate didn’t work a few times. Also, the codes for us to get in were not sent until 45 minutes after our check in time.
