Great family getaway

Fantastic house and property that exceeded our expectations. Perfect for a Thanksgiving holiday with extended family. Rooms were much bigger than they seemed in the photos and there was plenty of space for six adults, four kids and a dog. The property felt secluded and the views and the location, which was right on the bay, couldn't be beat.

Great stay!

We had a fabulous time at this property! House was clean and super organized. Had everything the listing indicated that it would. Host was very responsive. We were an extended family of 15 people ranging from ages 20 months to 70 years old. House was great for that. Along with pool and lake activities, house had tons of board games, lego and puzzles for our house. Would definitely stay here again soon. Only challenges - pool table was broken so we couldn't use it and there were no shades in the master bedroom - gave this feedback to property managers and they were very responsive.

Overall nice time

The house offered everything stated and we had a lovely time. I would note the master bedroom does not have curtains or a door so it connects right through the bathroom to the double bed room. There were also some minor upkeep issues such as loose outdoor siding and the pool gate was a bit broken. The team is extremely responsive!

Fly problem

This is a lovely venue which needs some TLC. The lid on the toilet of the powder room was broken and the upstairs fire alarm needs a new battery. However, more importantly, there is severe leaking of the door walls on the Bay side when it rains. We used towels and even buckets to catch the water. The kitchen door wall is especially bad. I took pictures if you need them. The fly problem is very annoying as it appears they are breeding within the house itself. We noticed almost no flies outside but had MANY indoors no matter how many we killed. In spite of the negatives we all thought the house was very spacious and suited our needs perfectly. The view is beautiful, the area serene and the pool and kayaks were splendid.
