Very good

Bathroom sink slow to drain. Unable to locate hair dryer (which was on list of supplied appliances)Kitchen fully equipped (did not use the dishwasher as we ate-out most of our meals)--we received a email that there was a message from our host on our way to the property, but the VRBO site was not letting us access the message. I don't believe this was the property owner's problem.

Thanks for staying we enjoyed having you. Appreciate the feedback on bathroom sink had it snaked by plumber.
I apologize also on the hair dryer. Unfortunately, the guest before you apparently took it so we had to replace it
Thanks again
I thourghly enjoyed my stay. It was peaceful, relaxing, and very quiet. I enjoyed seeing the little alligator swimming in the lake in the morning. I will definitely be staying here again on my next vacation. The apartment was very clean and cozy.

Thanks Elizabeth im happy you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully you had a good visit with your friends come back anytime
10 out 10 this property is fantastic and the host is very responsive and friendly no complaints whatsoever and if you need the air a different temp just message the host I read a bunch of reviews that were not so appealing and from what I experienced this host goes above and beyond. I would recommend this property over and over again, would give more stars if possible

Thanks for the kind words im happy you enjoyed your stay you were a real pleasure to have
Didn't realize it is basically going to be a duplex. VRBO site lists as house, but in reading details it states apartment. And it's an apartment attached is the other side of the house the owner is fixing up. He is very nice and attentive to all your needs. The view is beautiful. Alligators and baby ducks are in the lake. Very quiet place. It was great for my travel purposes as we were in and out frequently. Recommended for short stays to take care of business or other matters. Great overall.
Our stay at this property was extremely disappointing, and I want to warn other travelers. The home and the surrounding area were very run down, dirty, and undesirable, nothing like the listing photos suggested. The property itself was clearly unkept and had numerous sanitation and safety issues.We immediately discovered we could not control the air conditioning, as it could only be adjusted from the host’s main house. The bedroom ceiling fan did not work, and despite contacting the host right away, he gave instructions that didn’t work and then ignored all further messages. It was 88 degrees outside, leaving the inside hot, humid, and uncomfortable, making it impossible to sleep.Inside, the conditions were unacceptable:•No garbage bags in garbage cans or anywhere in the home and old food left in the refrigerator•Clogged bathroom sink, molding hanging off the shower, holes in the drywall•Stained and soiled baseboards•¼ inch gap in the door visible from the couch•A toaster that shocked me•No pans for the oven•Lower cabinets full of dirt and wood shavingsThe outside was no better: junk and dirty clothing scattered around, and a caved in break wall where the host’s grill was placed — a major safety hazard. The gas fire pit advertised in the listing was inoperable and had no gas.After one miserable night and no help from the host, we left early. We provided photos of everything, but the host refused to acknowledge any issues.I would not recommend this property

Hi Ryan thanks for your review we as hosts always appreciate the ability to get better and i take these feedbacks very seriously normally, Im sorry we could not make you happy. However your review is unjust your taking pictures of thigs that are not even relevant ie a neighbors property, the gas grill cover on the ground where the grill was uncovered its fully functional with gas .Ill acknowledge the cleaners did not leave garbage bags to which i replied that there would be more dropped off. The thermostat is set at 69-74 degrees farenheight and if you wanted it adjusted warmer or cooler you could have just asked which is stated on the app. I also left you a bad review due to your language and the way you handled things id recommend to other hosts to stay away from you as a guest. Id classify you as a total Karen in lamens terms so I'm just disregarding this review entirely and moving on I have over 100 reviews on Air bnb and vrbo with good feedback some occasional complaints which are normal and just. I always try and rectify and accommodate our guests or make adjustments s that better the stay of our tenants. Best of luck in your future endeavors
Nice cozy little apartment, not what i was expecting, but was clean and private as described. The thermostat for the air conditioner was in the main part of the hose so we had no freedom to adjust it at all, celing fan in the bedroom was not fuctioning very well and would not speed up. Overall the property is decent, but not for us, however at the value, it is great bang for the buck.
This location has a great view of the lake! Only 2 issues we had was we couldn't control the air/heat. The property owner controlled it. And, the dishwasher was not installed for use. No problem, I just washed by hand, but it did prevent me from cooking since I dislike washing dishes... LoL

chose not to stay
It was freezing inside and I saw no heat/thermostat. Listed as able to sleep 2 but the second space was a couch that didn't open up. I could not share a bed with my grandson.The location was adequate but that was all.

Sorry if the temperature wasnt up to your liking but you need to communicate that on the app. I never got a text or email from you asking me to adjust. I can adjust remotely through my NEST thermostat. In addition the bedroom is a full queen and a full couch. The couch isnt a pull out and both are represented in the pictures.
Place was never was cleaned. Also, there was a safety hazard sounded like there was an electrical short happening up in the attic and the front door had such a large gap underneath where things could come crawling in at night because it was on a lake. We met with the host onsite and he took pictures but never offered a refund we just left and lost our money. because of the safety hazard to stay..

There is absolutely no safety hazard the entire electrical panel was upgraded and replaced by a qualified electrican in the past 2 months so this is totally made up statement.,. The tenant was upset at a few fingerprints on the outside of the microwave that the cleaners had left closing the door which i agreed with. I went over inspected and the place was very clean in thier presense and addressed this with them. I personally didnt find a issue not could tthey point out anything else in my presense. . As far as not secure and gaps this is also false . I took video of the place at the time of them leaving i will post online so people can make thier own determiniation. All the windows are double pane vinyl windows with double locks, the house is solid block and the door is a 1 and 3/4 solid wood door with a lock and a deadbolt.I have no idea how any lake animals or critters would enter the premise unless the door was left wide open.
I also have multiple great reviews on air bnb and also VRBO. Lastly i sent the pictures to my cleaners and they stated the place was clean and sanitized and provided me a time stamp of when the cleaners were there. I try my best to accommodate everyone's requests however for some reason there was no making them happy so they decided to leave.

We would absolutely stay here again ! With that said there were a few areas that could be improved.. an outside light would be nice especially when coming back to the house at night, it's pretty dark. There was a slight smell of cigarette, so we're not sure if a past guest smoked in the house or what was the cause but it was noticable. The shower was warm but never hot, great pressure though !
Other than those small details, the house was very clean and had the comfiest bed. We didn't spend a ton of time in the house as we were exploring surrounding areas so we felt the home was absolutely perfect for what we needed.

I show up at the property. Was there for two hours trying to figure out how to get in. Tried chatting with Expedia. They tell me they are not the ones to contact. I never received an email on how to get into the property. I did not cancel. I was canceled. I want a refund. The property owner contacted me about three hours later apologizing and I went from frustrated, to scared as I was alone, to angry for this company not following through with process. I found a last minute place to stay, as I obviously felt I was left in the street. By the time the owner contacted me I, my son found a place for me. I cannot rate the place as I did not stay.
According to owner her has recommended a refund and Expedia or Vrbo or whoever may not allow it. As stated prior, I did not cancel, information on process was not related to me and I was at property a correct time. I expect a total refund of as services were not rendered. You have rights, so do I as a customer that was not rendered services.
Thank you
We absolutely loved this little hidden gem! It was perfect for the weekend! I was down for my son’s wrestling tournament and he got to fish right out the back door in the evenings! And the view is perfect! The host was super friendly and attentive! Highly recommend this place! We will be staying again next year!
