Satisfied Customer

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the house! It was a great location and we found it clean and well appointed. We could have used a pantry to store the mass quantities of food that we brought to feed teenagers, but other than that there was adequate storage. The absolute best thing was the ice machine! Loved having that!

Quaint time at the Independence

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time at the lookout and first in this rental property. We always have a wonderful experience with the location, amenities etc. The location of this property was fantastic. It would be nice to have a working vacuum and clean broom/dust pan so we can clean ourselves mid way through staff. A deck of cards and s’mores skewers would have been a nice touch. The property was clean and very comfortable during our stay. We will definitely be back again.

comfortable and lovely!

Thank you for providing such a lovely space for our family to enjoy while we were in town for a wedding. It was nice to be able to come back after a long day and feel like you could unwind like one would at home. Lots of construction all around, but once the development is more complete, I can see how it will be a really great place to bring families for a vacation.

Very relaxing with a caveat

Home was fantastic. Clean, comfortable and all amenities needed. Screaming kids across the way were not so fantastic, but it happens. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic Weekend Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend away at Independence and loved the home. We had 4 kids and 2 adults and had beds to spare. The kitchen was well prepared for a big family and we loved the ice maker in the pantry! Unfortunately the WiFi wasn't working for 2 days (something about a new modem or new router that wasn't authenticated) so we couldn't watch football as planned. But overall, the home is wonderful.

Perfect Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Independence was our ideal vacation home! The house was super clean and had every amenity you would ever want. Endless bath and beach towels, a fully stocked kitchen with three different coffee makers, crock pot, nice pots and pans, every gadget imaginable,even tupperwares for leftovers. My favorite was the commercial grade ice maker! The property is perfect, too, with two pools, easy access to a beach, marina, and boat/jet ski rentals. The staff were all so helpful and always pleasant! Can’t wait to return to the Lookout!

Toilet paper roll holders needed repair also and screws to fix them needed to be ordered according to maintenance. Dust pan unavailable too and could not supply it.

Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for ourselves, kids, and grandkids to celebrate my husband’s retirement/birthday. Everyone had a great time! There is so much to do here with the pools, trails, pickleball, bocce ball, and playgrounds for the young ones. The house was well equipped and comfortable. We also had dinner at the winery and enjoyed beautiful lake views while there. This was our second time renting a house here, and we’ll probably go back again!

Fun in the Sun!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for 3 sets of adults and little kids. Few toys or other entertainment (have been in houses with pool tables, etc.) but they did have games/puzzles. The house was uneven in the air conditioning--cold downstairs and hot upstairs but they did have ceiling fans. Every kind of dish available for use. Ice machine was great. House was super cute! Pool just a short walk away. Hilltop just a short walk away.
