Set up of house is amazing, love that there are 4 king size beds! The pool is small, but perfect for young kids to enjoy. It would be nice to have a set of beach towels for the pool, and more blankets to cozy up with. Management is responsive within a few hours. The pool heating was not working and after some back and forth with management, we only got half of the refund. Overall it was a great space for a few families to get together for a few days.

Thank you for leaving us a review and feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay, and apologize for the issue with the pool heating. We hope to host you again.
Loved this house. Owner very gracious! Great value for the money! Great layout entire home. So spacious! Very nice bunk room. Bedrooms need luggage valet stands though. Nice backyard area. Pool very nice, but smaller than appears in photo on line.

We appreciate your suggestion regarding luggage stands and will take it into consideration. We're glad you enjoyed the backyard and pool, even if it was smaller than expected. Your insights are important to us!
House was great. Dissapointed in the boat lifts as they were not working and had to risk our boat by just tying up.

Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the house overall. We’re very sorry to hear about the issue with the boat lifts and understand your frustration. We’ve since addressed this and are working to ensure they’re fully functional for future guests. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
LOVED the house & gated neighborhood!!! Perfect place for our autistic 8 year old grandson to ride his scooter while the rest of us enjoyed pickle ball. However, the house lacked ceiling fans in the LR & BR's so we had to bring our own fans. It rained the first night and because the ground was saturated & the backyard was not designed properly, muddy water flooded the pool & patio. Had to use the pool next door which was terribly inconvenient. Since we couldn't get in the lake due to recent flooding, the pool was critically important. However, management was very responsive and reasonable in addressing our concerns!
