This was the perfect house for our visit! Spacious, quiet neighborhood, peaceful patio to sit by the pool and watch the canal. They were very accommodating to our schedule and requests, plenty of extras around the house too. Will definitely stay here again anytime we come back!!

We loved this location!

This massive home was more than we expected! The parking was very large, even with our boat. The home itself had huge rooms to sprawl out and relax, and the lake access was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again!

Very good communication with the host and all amenities were very good. The house was just lovely. It had us intrigued with it's uniqueness, which was a great thing. Comfy beds, plenty of furniture and rooms everywhere. It was a rainy time while we were there but that only added to the relaxation and peacefulness of the quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay again if we needed to be in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at this house—it was perfect for our family! The space was very clean and offered plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably. Everything was well-maintained and made our trip easy and enjoyable. My only small suggestion would be to provide blankets for the couch or an extra blanket in one of the bedrooms. Other than that, it was a fantastic home and we would happily stay here again!

The Perfect Summer Getaway ☀️

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this VRBO on Lake Santa Fe's canal! The property is stunning, with plenty of space for our entire group to spread out and relax. The pool was a definite highlight. The home was well-equipped and immaculately clean. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway spot and will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way!

Beautiful, spacious home with pool on canal

The property was great: clean, spacious, all the basic amenities. My only complaint is after all fees, the nightly rate was 1,000 which is very high in my opinion, especially since the house is canal-front, not lakefront and in a very rural area, far from decent restaurants, nightlife and shopping (for evenings and rainy days).
