July 4th Holiday

Our whole family loved staying at Maple Branch. The location, both land and water were awesome. Only downside was no covered boat slip for our boat. But we were aware of this when we reserved the location. Great holiday!!

Well appointed home at the end of a quiet and beautiful cove.

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: My family had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend in this comfortable, well stocked family home. My dad enjoyed the putting green, the kids loved kayaking in the cove, and we had enough space for everyone. The dining table, outdoor table, and game table were all out to use during our rain delays from the water. Also, the extra fridge/freezer and ice maker was an added bonus most homes do not provide.

Second year renters and we have thoroughly enjoyed each stay! clean, equipped kitchen, wonderful communal spaces for an excellent set up for our family. Our favorite is the back porch with some comfortable lounging furniture, ping pong, golfing Green, and a great dock for our boat. Thanks for having us!
