This house was very clean, comfortable and very spacious. We had 7 people in our group and there was enough room for everyone to spread out and have privacy. The decks are great and the view is awesome. Bedroom sizes are huge and the beds are comfortable, nicely stocked kitchen.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful Lakefront property, and we were very impressed with the cleanliness and the accommodations of the property. It was spacious enough to accommodate our group of 16, and had more than enough room to spread out and relax. The view of the lake is breathtaking and we spent a lot of time lounging on the deck around the fire taking in the view. Property was well maintained and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Jill was great to work with during our booking and any questions we needed she answered them right away.

The house was wonderful, the owner emailed me to disregard the check in for a house that wasn’t mine that I didn’t receive any information on, also the owner asked me some questions in the direct messages tab on vrbo that seemed like a scam, but everything worked out fine.

This was a perfect property for our group of eight, (alhough, anymore may feel a little crowded in the common areas), definately just two in the kitchen at a time. Only one bedroom was accessible without stairs, something to keep in mind if that is an issue for you. Lake view was gorgeous, but no easy access to the lake on the property. Parking was easy, we were attending a function at Margaritaville and were able to walk or take a golf cart. Overall very pleased with the property.

We were a group of six who wanted to sit on the deck and watch the water and the sunset. This place was perfect. A little hard to find using the maps on our phones but once we got there it was very quiet and comfortable. It was mid week and early in the season so there were no neighbors that we could hear or who could hear us. Also, there was a problem with our original booking at the last minute and the management was very helpful in getting us into a new place. I also emailed the management with several questions and found them very responsive. The only problem we had was finding the trash dumpsters (not at the house but down the road and we couldn’t get the key to work). Since we were driving, we took the trash home but that wasn’t ideal.

The property owner needs to upgrade there water system. The water coming out of the faucets had settlement in it. Could definitely invest in a water softener/filtration system. Toilets didn't flush well. Upon arrival the front door was left open, I'm assuming the housekeeper didn't shut the front door or lock it. The gas grill needs replaced badly. All the burners are rusted out and only work half way. There was still painters tape on the walls and ceiling.

It is almost impossible to get hold of property manager and talk about issues. All Propane tanks were empty for grill and fire pit Light in deck were broken and refrigerators in bedrooms also were broken. I tried to contact the property manager but no response. Overall I didn't like their csutomer service

I do not know if this applies to the mother-in-law portion. However, in the main living space any time a sink or shower was on or toilet was flushed, there were gargling noises that came from the pipes and drains or the toilet made noises. When the toilet made noises, sometimes water with splash up onto the toilet seat. At one point, the shower drains shot up some black substance in the bottom of the tubs. In the two rooms downstairs, we were not sure or did we trust that flushing the toilets would not overflow them. The toilets seem to have trouble flushing with very little toilet paper. Overall, this day was not too bad we were just concerned about the plumbing and water circulation to all bathrooms and kitchen. Thank you!

This house was very disappointing when we arrived. The parking spots are for 4 vehicles the size of a VW bug had a hard time getting our vehicles parked without sticking out in the road. When we opened the front door it smelled like mildew. The floors had to be sweep when we arrived in the living room there were nerds' candy everywhere. All of our feet were black from walking on the floors barefoot. The furniture was very old and outdated and very worn out, the upper deck cushions had cigarette burn holes. The kitchen chairs were very wobbly afraid to have the adults to set at. The MlL suit in the lower smelled so bad it was very hard stay there the furniture on the deck was unable to set on they were torn. The pool was a long walk no walking distance for the older kids to walk so we didn't utilize it. The lack of towels for showers was a big problem if you stay 2 nights they will take showers and we had 2 towels and 2 wash rags per room. Just Very Very Disappointed. I will never book this house again.

The house is lovely and provided us with plenty of room to visit. It is comfortable and if the weather had been sunny, I’m sure I would have been full of light. The floor to ceiling windows gave us a spectacular view of the lake. A couple of things of note: There is a slight difference in the floor level into the kitchen, leaving a tiny step up. We all tripped on it a couple of times. If it cannot be fixed it would be nice to have it marked so it is obvious. Most of the bedrooms are down stairs from the main level. That was not a problem, but we were not expecting them to be below the living area. The mother in law suite is separate and has its own entrance as stated in the listing. However the stairs are narrow and when we saw it, it was dark. We chose not to use if because we were concerned about the stairs. Having stated that, we were not a bit inconvenienced and enjoyed the house.

Beautiful home, great view. Wish we had warmer weather to enjoy the balconies over looking the lake but we were very comfortable in the house. Would love to go back when it was warmer to enjoy all the amenities.

We booked this home because of the view and it did not disappoint. Property has typical wear and tear for the age of home and comparable to others in neighborhood. It was well equipped and large enough with lots of space to spread out. FYI for those that care, there is a propane fire pit on the main deck which is great for cool evenings, and though the pics show a mini fridge in each room, there is only one in the lower level suite.
