This cozy cabin was clean and had everything we needed right there. We were down the road from the clubhouse and my kids loved the beach!

Cozy house

We stayed at the house for two nights, and the kids 1y and 3y loved the outdoors and the community's amenities. It was great for the kids to go to the beach, pool, and splash water park, and relax while the kids were playing.

Family Time

We came to visit family and the home was so nice. The owner was very helpful and on top of things. If we come back that way we will definitely look to rent this place again.

Nice house

The house was very nice and perfect for the weekend. The hot tub was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be, and all the dishes were dirty/crusty. Other than that would love to stay here again

Great weekend getaway!!

We had a 3 day weekend and wanted to go away for a quick getaway. This house was perfect!! It’s beautifully decorated, modern, quaint, clean, cozy, and quiet! Perfect for the seven of us who went (kids included)!! The bedrooms are gorgeous, as is the fireplace. One of the main selling points for us was that it had its own outside hot tub!! Loved it! Perfect way to unwind. The owner was very responsive as well. We would definitely go back!!

Cozy and beautiful!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We had 6 total people and we were very comfortable. It rained about half the time we were there due to the affects of a hurricane hitting down south, but instead of feeling cooped up inside we loved every second of family time in our cozy cabin! And any non-rainy time was spent either roasting marshmallows over the idyllic backyard fire pit, enjoying the brand new hot tub next to the deck, kayaking on the lake, or swimming in the awesome kid-friendly community pool!!! The host was wonderful and extremely responsive, making sure all our needs were met and answering almost immediately when we had any questions. We left wanting very much to be able to stay longer, but we definitely hope to be back soon!

Wonderful home!

We arrived to our family girls' weekend in the middle of a huge storm and the power was out at the property. Lisa responded immediately and was incredibly helpful (even having the wonderful neighbor come over to assure us the power would return soon). Luckily, the house is beautiful and very sunny so we lit some candles and enjoyed each other's company around the fire before the power came back on. The home is very well-kept and clean. It had everything we needed to cook on the grill and enjoy smores around the fire pit. The hot tub was the hit of the weekend including the peacefulness of the property! We hope to rent from Lisa again soon.

The property came with all that you needed for a comfortable stay. The house was stocked with towels, sheets, shampoos, soaps and supplies you would need. It is an all updated property with very nice finishes. The only thing I would say that was pushing it would be 4 car parking. I had one full-size truck and one SUV there and that was about max to to be able to use the driveway. You could probably squeeze 4 cars but that’s not a deal breaker. Communication with the owner when needed was very quick and responsive.

Clean and comfy

The house was really clean and had everything you need. The lake wasn’t as nice as I expected so we went to the pool but that’s just my preference. The fact that you had a ring camera on you at all times recording while sitting on the deck was a bit off putting and was our only real complaint. Checking in took forever at the gate. They really need to modernize that process and get some iPads of computers instead of a bunch of binders and loose papers all over. We waited online for over half hour just to get to the window and then probably another 10 mins of them looking through papers trying to figure it all out. But that is an issue the community needs to address not the fault of the house renter.
