Perfect camp experience!

Our church group loved our time spent here and we look forward to booking again in the future! The students said this was more fun than the camp we usually attend in PCB, Florida!

Excellent Location

Overall we enjoyed our time here and really liked the location on the lake and the amount of space we had outside. The house was mostly clean and picked up but a few bathrooms did smell musty. The owner was very quick with communications through the VRBO App, but he and his wife do live on the property and we saw them a few times during our stay.

Family Vacation 2024

Loved the whole experience!!!!!! We are a large family and this house gave us the sleeping space we needed. And lots of hanging out and visiting area both inside and outside. The on site boat ramp and dock were fantastic. Then after getting off the lake having the option for the kiddos to swim in the pool out of the sun was the best!!! Yes, the owners live on property but they were not invasive in anyway and were very helpful and responsive with any questions we had. Thank you for all the great memories my family now has!!!

Family Time Always Good this place had good and bad features

To start with, Bruce and Cheryl were good hosts but it’s obvious this property needs more than 2 people to maintain and clean it! The outside area is the best of the property with the lake access and the kayaks along with a nice dock. The upper deck is in decent shape where we also spent a lot of time. Now, for the house, it’s a different story. The house needs a cleaning that hasn’t been done in years or if it’s been cleaned it’s lacking severely. There are cobwebs, spiders and cockroaches everywhere but especially in the bottom bedrooms and bathroom. The kitchen cupboards and drawers were quite dirty with dust, dirt, and bugs. We are not looking for luxurious in any respect but clean is required. A lot of modifications in bathrooms etc made them a bit strange and definitely outdated. The pool was fine and the family enjoyed it but again there is unique rigging going on with a swamp cooler system. The pool tables and ping pong was fine but could use new paddles and pool cues. The cost of this place is too expensive for what you stay in. Also Beware there is a NO REFUND policy from the minute you book! I had to pay for guests that didn’t couldn’t make it but if I’d of had more I would have had to pay more so it only works in one direction to their advantage. So if you’re not sure how many are coming go lower than adjust up if needed otherwise you lose! Also the owners live right there beside you so they are walking around as you’re there! Some family members thought this a bit strange and awkward but if we needed something we were able to get with Bruce right away.

WARNING – NOT CLEAN, NOT SAFE

My wife and I booked our family vacation for 6 nights over Labor Day weekend 2023 on March 31, 2023. We have 7 children and their spouses and a 6-month-old grandchild, so we where excited about the space, number of bedrooms and baths and that the property was on the water. Last minute, a few days before Easter weekend we decide to celebrate our anniversary and book the same property we booked for a family vacation scheduled over Labor Day weekend. We could have stayed in a property that accommodate only 2 of us but thought this would be a great opportunity to see the place and get the lay of the land before our family trip. Thank goodness we did. We arrived at 4:00 pm on Friday. As we drove up to the house, we saw several cars on the circular driveway in front of a house adjacent to the rental property (This is where the property owner lives). This house was littered with trash, old furniture, and appliances (an eyesore to say the least). I was met by the property owner that was still getting the place ready. It was uncomfortable as we move our luggage in as he and his wife were still working. Example, we had to make a few trips in and out of the house and on one of the trips back in we notice several garbage bags that had not been there before, meaning that they entered the house after we had already checked in. The owner confirmed that he did live in the eyesore house and his son lives in an apartment over the pool house connected to the living quarters of the rental. As we unpacked, we noticed that even though the place was put together on the inside it just didn’t appear to be clean. My assumption was confirmed when the owner said he did not have cleaning service but that he, his wife, and son did all the cleaning. This is an 8 bedroom, 16 bed, 5 full bathroom property, you do the math. We entered the connecting pool as where his wife was still cleaning. The roof was leaking water onto a pool table that was uncovered which already appeared to have mold. After dinner that night we noticed that there was a lack of hot water as we were washing dishes. The next morning as we were going to take a shower there was no hot water. I messaged the owner and he promptly responded that he would investigate it. An hour later he came to the house and confirmed that his propane tank was empty and the meter on the tank must be broken because if reflected that there was ample gas. He apologized and said this has

Perfect for Family Gathering

The house size and location was perfect for our family gathering of grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren ages 4 and up. Loved the indoor pool. Views were lovely. Kids enjoyed using the kayak on the lake and some unsuccessful fishing. Played volleyball as well as lots of indoor games. Had fun with kayoke, pool table and ping pong table. Host and hostess were friendly. Be prepared for LOTS of stairs though. It’s a big, multilevel house with eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, and plenty of beds. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked and we made thorough use of the two large refrigerators and outdoor kitchen with grills perfect for burgers and hot dogs.

Somewhat disappointed

The area surrounding the home contained too much junk. The house wasn’t cleaned as well as it should have been and we weren’t able to use one of the bedrooms because it smelled like mildew. It’s a nice house but it really need some deep cleaning inside and out. We paid too much money for those conditions.

Disappointed

was quite disappointed with my stay at this property. The listing photos were outdated and did not accurately represent the current condition of the home. Upon arrival, it was clear that the property had not been maintained to the standard suggested online. Furthermore, the owner's adjacent home was in poor condition and detracted significantly from the overall ambiance of the area. I would not recommend this property to others based on the misleading presentation and lack of upkeep.

Lots of Potential

The house sat on a great plot of land with plenty of room for kids to run around and play. There is so much potential for this home, though it does need a lot of maintenance and clean up to become a comfortable place to stay. The indoor pool was nice but very difficult to keep warm!

Fun Family Getaway

We had a family gathering of 10 adults and a toddler. The house has plenty of room, and many fun activities for guests to enjoy. The second story deck is huge and was a popular hang-out spot during our stay. Billiards, Ping-Pong, Pickleball, and Basketball were enjoyed thoroughly by our group. Sitting on the dock by the lake was so beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend that! We cooked all of our meals and the kitchen definitely met our needs.

Warning#####

Host does Not refund ANYTHING. Paid for 25 guests (anything over 11 is an added charge) but only 20 were able to attend. Host would NOT refund me for the 5 guest charges. House was acceptable but there are safety concerns. Wiring needs updated. Pool roof needs replaced. Make sure you are aware of all fees. Very disappointed in communication with Host.

They do live on site, which I wasn't aware was so close, but having them there ended up being helpful. If you have any issues they can correct immediately.

Family reunion getaway

The peaceful surroundings and multiple outdoor entertainment spaces made it an ideal place for our family reunion and birthday party. There were multiple levels and stairways inside that made it a little difficult to navigate for older people in the party but at the same time gave privacy to the different family groups when needed.

Family reunion

This place is great. We had a large group & everyone was accomodated. A little older place than we have had in the past but we made excellent memories. The pool inside was a big hit. We were a little worried about getting to come after Hurricane Beryl but they took care of the house & large yard area before we arrived.. owners were super quick to answer any questions. Great place for relaxation & enjoy time away from life’s busyness.

Not as advertised

This property was a big disappointment. Not professionally cleaned or maintained. We had dead bugs in several rooms, dead bugs in some beds, nails sticking out of the front stairs(tripping hazard), two people put their foot through rotted dock boards. The pool room is a joke, the pool table and ping pong table are so old they were unusable. Shaky toilet with smells coming from it. The master bath tub/shower was very dangerous to get into and out of. The listing doesn’t state how many stairs are in the property but it was very dangerous for small children.

Beautiful location with safety concerns- NOT good for families with children

We stayed at this property with a group of friends and young children. This property has a lot of “pros”: -Beautiful location- the view off of the deck was lovely -Secluded from general traffic and public -Lots of bedroom options with adequate bathrooms; can sleep a large group comfortably -Indoor pool for hot summer days Unfortunately, there were also some issues that made us not want to return with our small children: -Numerous safety hazards inside and out- my toddler found a bunch of wood screws in the foyer, space of balusters could easily fit a child’s whole body, areas that should have safety railings without them, cleaning supplies and tools left scattered about the home inside and out, exposed wires, etc. etc. -There was no lock on the front door- check in was easy because of this; all you do is open the door! Unfortunately, that means anyone could also do that! -There is a dog that wanders around the property- not in the listing. -While not listed in the listing when we booked, the owner lives a stone’s throw from the property, and you will see him a LOT. He came into the pool house while we were swimming and was often seen on the house’s deck and on the grounds directly around the house. It was very off putting. -The house was very dusty, had plenty of cobwebs, and we had to scrub the kitchen upon arrival. Normally, when I see only a handful of bad reviews, I assume the bad ones are from people who are unrealistic- but in this case, I was wrong!
