Was not made aware of the narrow winding stairs for upper ensuite so had to make sleeping adjustments. The towels were more like child size but we had plenty of space throughout the house and alot of privacy. The kids loved the gameroom.

We had a perfect stay with a large family 10 adults and 5 kids all had more than enough room to stretch out, fish in the canal and play in the sand. The property had everything we needed for family meals and communication with the managers were great. Thank you for hosting us and we’d love to return.

The house has a great location; it needs some more love. The driveway (rock based) is not the best. The laundry needs ventilation. Overall, good rate and layout.

Great location. The layout of the house was strange. No doors on the kids bunk room and everyone has to walk right through the middle of the kids room to get to all of the other rooms or bathrooms. The game room was downstairs and musty smelling. Overall good stay though.

To say this home needs a little TLC is an understatement! The images of the home are quite deceiving. Peeling paint covers walls and cabinets and the overall house feels dirty and neglected. Aluminum foil lines the shutters to the downstairs game room (the shutter's motor is broken so the shutters will not function). The game room smells of mildew. The AC went out in the main living room and the oven broke during our stay. The management company though was quick to respond and had the AC fixed in a day and provided us with a large toaster oven to use. These issues were due to the decaying breaker box. You have to walk through one of the bedrooms to access the other three bedrooms. Mud and standing water covered the dock area. We did not have many options because we needed a dog friendly home but this house was a huge disappointment.
