The house is beautiful. It was quite cold a few days so we hung out at the house more than planned but it was cozy and comfy and we had a great time. Nice location, beach is beautiful

Beautiful house, and nice location. However, the kitchen lacked in essentials as in trash bags, seasonings, etc. The pool would’ve been enjoyable if a heater was an option. The grill area needs a good cleaning. We also had a hard time figuring out how to turn on the lights to both master bathrooms. Just little things but overall the house was perfect for a big family. We enjoyed it and would recommend and stay again.

Ozzy, thanks so much for staying with us and for the thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear the house worked well for your big family and that you’d recommend us and come back again — that means a lot. I’m sorry about the little inconveniences you ran into. We’ve already added more kitchen basics (including extra trash bags and common seasonings), scheduled a deep clean and refresh of the grill area, and updated our welcome book with clearer instructions for the master bathroom lights. We’re also looking into options for a pool heater so future stays are even more comfortable. Really appreciate you pointing these things out so we can keep improving. Would love to host you and your family again anytime!

Excellent stay! All of the previous negative reviews given by others have been addressed! Outdoor grill area was spotless, kitchen utensils were new and plentiful, all bedding was perfect! New HVAC systems were very comfortable and quiet. Fishing was excellent from the dock, we caught 5 different species. Plenty of outdoor lighting to fish at night! Restaurants, coffee shops, bait shops, gas stations and shopping all within 5 minutes of the property. Very private and secluded home, pool area has plenty of sunshine all day, yet shade if wanted from nearby trees and outdoor covered kitchen area. Outdoor accessible bathroom near pool area was handy! All 3 bedrooms are very private and common area is large and comfortable. Under counter ice machine was a hit for our coolers! Can’t say enough good things about this property! We will stay again!

Our stay was fantastic, the house is beautiful, but I would recommend four things. 1) Update the kitchen utensils; the ones they have are in poor condition. 2) The grill area was unusable because it was absolutely disgusting and very neglected. 3) It would be excellent to add heating to the pool. 4) The bed linens need to be better presented.

Great stay - house needs a little TLC

We had a wonderful stay. The house presents exactly as described. The common space was very large which was great for our group to spend time for meals etc. The pool area is stunning and the whole property had a very relaxed vibe. There was a broken window in the primary bath as well as electrical outlet issues in the second bedroom upstairs and in the outdoor kitchen. It should be noted that this house has a lot of stairs and that should be considered for guests.

Amazing house and location!

This house was stunning! It felt like we were at our own private resort. The boat slip itself is a little narrow but, we were able to tie up against the dock all week and it worked out perfectly. We had a mishap with one of the beds downstairs when we checked in, but maintenance came in a reasonable time and made the repair. All the beds were very comfy as well. We will definitely be back!
