Perfect getaway with family. The bedrooms and baths are super clean and comfortable. The screened in porch was a great place to sit and have coffee in the morning. The water was so relaxing. We all loved being there! Highly recommend!
The house is just as described, with nicer amenities and decorations that you'd find at almost any other VRBO. Communication with Kevin was seamless and he always responded promptly. I highly suggest this property for a nice, relaxing lake vacation.
Property exactly as described. Great location, and amenities (pool, tennis courts, beach access). The host was very responsive to all our needs. Moreover the house was well stocked with everything you would need to cook, grill, and serve a nice meal as well as the basics some properties don’t include like ample trash bags, paper towel, salt, pepper, etc, which makes the trip much smoother. We plan to come back.
Lovely 4 bedroom/4 bath home was perfect for 4 couples enjoying a relaxing long weekend. Beautiful view of lake and Great Waters golf course. Enjoyed time golfing, walking, and sitting on the back porch. Hope to return!
