Excellent location, we loved the dock and being right on the canal. Good value for money in an off peak time, but probably not worth it with peak pricing. The house is sorely in need of work and updates, and the cleanliness was lacking (inside was ok but outside was littered in cigarette butts). The property management company were easy to communicate with and when the pool pump wasn’t working they did send someone out same day to fix it - points awarded there

The best thing about this property is the kids loved the pool and there are plenty of (uncomfortable and broken) beds. Internet didn't work upon arrival, called maintenance but ended up fixing it myself. Roaches crawling up walls and on kitchen counters. Specifically asked if there were crab traps and was told yes, but there were none. House needs major updating. Safety gate is broken. Screened in deck is not screened in at all, Fence is not dog proof. Showers are tiny except master bedroom, where the toilet area is tiny.Great location tho! We had a great time despite all these things. The multiple AC units kept the house cool. The downstairs rooms made it easy for elderly guests to enjoy. Quiet neighborhood. Kids fished the whole week!

This was my 2nd stay at the property and I was prepared this time and had a extension cord for the outside TV. Only to find out that the screen is broke. One of the TVs didn't work in the downstairs rooms either. The light in the pool only worked in the day time. Although none of these were deal-breakers for us because we love the house it was plenty of space perfect area to teach the kids how to fish and crab we enjoyed ourselves, this was for our Thanksgiving vacation.

Plenty of parking, there's a great amount of beds, privacy was perfect. There is plenty of areas to just chill. Few things to bring: can opener if you're cooking anything in can, an extension cord long-the TV downstairs outside at the picnic table was not plugged in nor near a plug. Be careful on the deck while fishing there are like 2 boards on the low side that I almost fell in because they go all the way down in the water. If you use k-pods bring your Keurig. OH and quite a few outlets upstairs are not working, so find the ones that do and use those. Host was very helpful and everything was good , I'll be staying again in November so I'm prepped on what to bring.

We were really looking forward to this stay, but unfortunately, the house did not live up to expectations. Upon arrival, the hot water was not working, which was a major inconvenience, especially after a long day of travel. The property manager was able to get someone out the next day, which was helpful but still frustrating. There was not an outdoor drill as promised. Again, the property manager was able to resolve the next day but frustrating. The downstairs bedrooms were in poor condition, not clean and had visible damage, including holes in the walls which made the space feel neglected and uncomfortable. The overall condition of the home felt much older and way less maintained that what was portrayed in the listing photos.The kitchen was disappointing. It was sparsely stocked, and the knives and cooking tools were outdated. Overall, it was difficult to prepare meals.What was most frustrating was how misleading the online photos were. The property appeared bright, updated, and well cared for, but in reality it felt worn and not well maintained. For the same price point we noticed nearby homes that were much more updated and offered significantly better amenities including extras, like kayaks and paddle boards, which would’ve really enhanced the experience. Overall, this property did not meet expectations and we would not choose to stay here again. The fact that we were still charged full price after our many complaints is disappointing.

Wonderful Family Weekend Getaway

We had an amazing weekend at this rental! The property manager was extremely communicative and responsive after booking, prior to check-in, during our stay, and after check-out. The home was absolutely beautiful and spaciously accommodated our big family! I loved that we were able to have everyone under one roof. The kids enjoyed the amenities.
