Loved the bougie hippo!
One of the best stays we’ve had in a while at a VRBO property. Host was very communicative and helpful with all my questions. We had a minor issue come up and the host addressed it right away! Loved the kayaks and the game room. Already booking for next year!

The Bougie Hippo was better than expected! We had an amazing time! The property was perfect with a great floating dock out back to dock your boat with ease. It was truly a perfect time! 10 out of 10 recommend!!
