Family vacation
This property was perfect for my family. Check-in was easy, location was close to pool and on an inlet of the lake. We had a well stocked kitchen for cooking and plenty of seating of our meals. Very comfortable!

The house is fine but after being in a few other houses in the same neighborhood during our stay I’d say that you can either spend less for something the same or nicer; or spend a bit more for something far nicer. Here are a few things to know when considering this house. *inside is clean, but the exterior could use some cleaning and paint (especially the front door - it’s filthy!). It looks like some interior updating is in progress. *While the house is technically on the water, it’s the furthest back in the channel with basically a puddle of water. Enough to launch the kayaks but nothing more. There is no lake view. *It is a major undertaking to use the kayaks - very steep staircase. There isn’t a dock so hauling the kayaks up and down after every use isn’t going to be for everyone. *The mini split air conditioners have a hard time keeping the house cool, especially the top floor. *If the listing still pictures a washer and dryer, know that it isn’t actually available to guests. The owner ended up letting us use it, so that was appreciated. *The owner is quick to respond and seems to genuinely want your stay to be good. *There are deer everywhere. We walked out one morning to find one basically at the door. Pretty cool to see!*There are tons of pools and the margaritaville resort area is great for all ages.

Perfect for 3 families
We had 3 families with kids staying and the 2 queen beds with their own en suites was perfect. Communication was excellent. Any time I had a question I received a very quick answer.

Great trip
Good property with plenty of room for our group the dishes were in the dishwasher when we arrived which we didnt know untill we tried to fill before leaving so we worked from the same few bowls/plates/utensils with several people because we didnt know they were there .... their were not extra linens anywhere just what was on the beds same with towels/wash rags was not stocked with extra so if longer stay will need to bring laundry soap to do laundry between because that was also not available for use. All closets and under beds were filled with stuff so no where to put your things if there for longer stay...nice to have access to water via stairs but be careful they are extreamly steep! I have a fear of heights and the parking was terrifying for me but I got through it lol all in all great community calm quiet area great communication with owner very prompt responses and extreamly helpful with things to do and good restaurants in the area!!

Last minute bday getaway
If this place is available rent it!
You don’t even need to leave the neighborhood.
Very nice pool that hardly anyone was at, I walked my dog up by there a couple of times.
It’s about 4 blocks maybe less.
Three suites all with their own bathroom.
Kathleen was very helpful with any questions I had after check in
Nice water access to the end of the cove in very calm water that got shallow and would be perfect for kids didn’t have to go out very far and was deep enough for a nice swim
This place also has a screened in porch that was perfect for one of the days it rained. the ceiling fan is great out there
I’m definitely planning on coming back here
Great place!!!!
