The house was the perfect size for our group. Perfect amount of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Unfortunately, there were not enough chairs at the dining table for everyone to sit around the table, a chair or 2 were missing. Overall cleanliness was good, but there were quite a few cigarette butts outside on the patio from the previous guests.

We enjoyed our stay overall, the host was welcoming and great communication. The house overall was nice and clean. There were a few things that needed fixed inside the home, but nothing too major. The neighborhood was nice a quiet. We really enjoyed the view from both decks and would definitely recommend the house for anyone looking to fish there.

Very lovely home, enjoyed the deck and canal sitting area. Lots of bedrooms with extra beds for kiddos. Living area is a bit small if you have lots of people but couch was comfy. Kitchen was huge and all bathrooms were nice and big. 2 big picnic tables outside and large kitchen table inside.
