Cleanliness
Check in was great with Betsy. Upon arrival at our cabin, we noticed the place was not clean. Showers, tubs, floors were not clean. I called Betsy and sent her pictures. She wasn’t able to send someone out till the next day. The place needed to be cleaned before we could move in, shower and enjoy our stay. I spent the evening cleaning on my vacation. Three men were sent out the next day. It was just me and my two girls. It was very uncomfortable and intimidating. They spent a few minutes wiping down bathrooms, which I already had to do. Scott emailed me after and assured me cleaners are trained professionals and basically said the place was clean. I sent him pictures of a stained pillow and also said mattress pads were stained. He never responded to me. I have stayed in several different cabins at holiday shores and have never experienced this. I cannot recommend Rocky point properties and will not be staying there again.

Hi Lisa! Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced.

We are sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations. Everyone can make a mistake, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
We understand that cleanliness is a crucial aspect of your stay, and we regret that you had to address these issues yourself. We are glad that we were able to send our team over the following morning to assist. We apologize if their presence made you feel uncomfortable. For future reference, would you have preferred having female cleaners? We want to ensure your comfort and satisfaction during your stay.
We value your loyalty as our guest and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Thank you again for your feedback.

The booking was easy the price was great and the management company was super easy to deal with. We had a wonderful time and would certainly recommend to anyone who asked and we will rent again!
It was nice, I was a little bummed there was no fire pit. Mainly for us to have a small fire once our 1 year old went to bed. I also would recommend trimming some trees back so you can see the pond better from the deck..the kitchen floors looked like they needed have a good mop, and the comforter looked like it’s been there a while and not sure how often they are washed.. but it was nice how quiet it was and the location on the pond was nice.
Wonderful location and beautiful lake access. The property has nice docks and great waterfront. The unit itself feels like a small rustic cottage. Would've liked to see the unit cleaned up better before we arrived- we ended up vacuuming the main areas before we got settled. We also found mouse droppings in the silverware drawer. The location and lake access made up for what the unit lacked.
