Overall, we had a nice week at the lake, but there were several issues future guests should know about.The home has a great layout with a bathroom for every bedroom, so no one had to share. The covered second-story porch overlooking the lake was our favorite place to relax, and the garage game room with the pool table was a fun bonus. The neighbors were also very friendly.Unfortunately, communication with the owner was poor. I reached out several days before check-in for arrival instructions and received no response. After contacting VRBO support and being told we might need a hotel for the first night, the owner finally sent the entry code just 15 minutes before check-in.The listing says the marina is nearby, but it’s directly across the canal. While convenient for boaters, expect constant forklift noise and heavy boat traffic during the day.There were also maintenance issues. The grill was broken, one bathroom light didn’t work, and the Wi-Fi never worked during our week-long stay, which meant the TVs didn’t work either. We reported it at the start of our stay, but the owner didn’t respond until the second-to-last day. The hot tub was a nice amenity but needed cleaning.The home has a lot of potential, but more responsive communication and better maintenance would make for a much better guest experience.
