If I could give a higher rating I would - this property is FANTASTIC. By far the best VRBO I have ever booked. The communication was amazing, we had a few mishaps outside of the hosts control but GiGi was extremely accommodating and did her best to remedy the situation right away. This was the perfect vacation spot for our family and we will definitely look into booking again in the future! I highly recommend staying here if you have a large family!

Our large family, 10 adults and 6 children enjoyed our stay very much!! This house was perfect for day and evening fun. Swimming, kayaking, and kids playing on the play set! Corn hole and ping pong, pool table, foosball, Pac-Man…..So much to do and only 10 minutes to the small beach and butterfly house and park! The house was well stocked and when I made a request she replied quickly. The welcome basket waiting for us was a nice surprise!

10/10! We had a perfect stay - the house is exactly like the photos, Gigi is the MOST responsive host. They even sent coffee over when we were low (which was above and beyond in my opinion!) We had a great time using the pool, hot tub and Kayaks. So much to do! Perfect house for us.
