Great location. Properties are not quite as described in listing
We rented the three properties listed on VRBO - one through VRBO and the other two outside of VRBO. The location is great and as described - on a channel just off a quieter bay on the main lake. There is plenty of room for parking vehicles, trailers and boats, and plenty of room outside to hang out, and there is a nice firepit. The owner allowed our kids to use the kayaks located at the property, which was great. The owner lives onsite in a different house and was available when we had questions. Owner and family were very friendly. We enjoyed using the property with our extended family.
As far as the properties themselves - the larger property is definitely nicer than the other two. In the other two the A/C had issues. In one of the properties, the owner tried to help by installing a portable unit but it struggled during the heat of summer and really only cooled the main room. It was hot in the bathroom or bedrooms. In the other smaller property the A/C consisted of a in-wall unit, which was noisy, and a portable unit in a bedroom, which tripped the breaker most nights and shut off. This may be less of an issue if it had been cooler during our stay.
The wifi was not usable in either of the smaller units, even though it's shown as an amenity. This is because the router is located in the larger unit and the signal didn’t reach the other two properties.
We had some discussions with the owner about the A/C and wifi issues but while the owner was very pleasant, they didn't see these issues as being significant, while we think they were, especially given the price and description of the properties.
