Senior Gathering

Great fun, wonderful accomodations, a few maintenance issues. Fully stocked kitchen & very clean. Rained the entire weekend, but that didn't stop us from having a good time. Will come back.

Our Big Wave week.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pluses: the location on the lake was great, the bedroom, bathroom and loft arrangements worked well for us, the screened porch overlooking the lake was nice, we were a family of 12 and felt comfortable in the accommodations, the kids used the kayaks a lot, thanks for the golf cart, short walk down the boardwalk to the pool and common areas, Minuses: when you pay $1,000 dollars per night you're entitled to certain expectations, the house was shopworn and disorganized, a lot of differed maintenance throughout, filthy carpeted steps at the entrance, bedroom closets and dresser drawers filled with miscellaneous stuff, the 2 way fireplace was a mess...better maintenance and organization was expected for the price we paid. I wouldn't recommend this rental at the price charged.

Nice and adequate

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 4th trip and first time in this house. We love Beachwalk. The home had everything needed. We booked it 2 weeks before coming so inventory was low. The home does sleep 12+ however, the loft area is really not so good if you have younger kids and adults want to stay up. Some of the beds were very wobbly and the bunk bed was one of them. Did not feel safe. The master shower is a bath tub and leaks everywhere and looked moldy. Not every good set up for dinner with a larger group. Only 2 beach chairs were provided. But overall was a nice home but I would say should be a smaller group.
