Beautiful home for a lovely vacation!
Beautiful and spacious home! It was perfect for our party of 8. Very easy to get to and nearby our various activities yet in a quiet and out of the way spot. We Will definitely plan on renting this lovely home again for our next trip to Florida. Thank you so very much!
Wonderful time away
Our family enjoyed a wonderful week, over Christmas holidays in this wonderful, clean, spacious home on Lake Marlin. Every morning we enjoyed coffee on the patio watching the wildlife. We couldn't have had better weather. We had sun all day by the pool.
The owners were wonderful to deal with. They have a beautiful home that was big enough for our whole family. We had everything we needed. I had to work a couple of days while down there and with the wi fi, I was able to dial in and work from there (something I could get quite used to)
We would definitely return.
Beautiful House in Relaxing Setting
My family of four and my Sister's family of four stayed in this wonderful house in mid-October. The house is plenty big enough for two families. We loved watching the birds come visit in the mornings and saw other interesting wildlife at the shoreline such as turtles and even a smallish gator! The weather was very pleasant in October. The house is in a good location with easy access to grocery stores, restaurants and beaches. There is also a great ice cream shop within walking distance. The kids loved the pool although we did have a problem with the pool/hot tub heat. We had paid up front for the hot tub and pool to be heated but the heat failed after the first day. We contacted the owner and he was very responsive on this matter and all other communications. A failed pump needed to be swapped out. This work was completed by the end of the visit and the owner refunded the heating charge. The Wi-Fi connection was strong throughout the property and did not drop out once, which is important for anyone with older kids/tweens during down time! The only minor ding was that we had to buy all our own paper products (paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, tissues etc.). We are used to owners providing these supplies for renters. But all in all we had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this house again!
The home was excellent in a nice quite place .
The home was really very good everything you need beautiful position on a lake.would very much like to return in future it is the best home we have rented in Florida
Wedding Break
I stayed here with friends for a wedding with a group from the UK. There were a number of guests at the weding party staying in properties close by, and this was a wonderful central location. The weather was beautiful in April, and we particularly enjoyed relaxing by the pool, but the house was always pleasantly cool and comfortable compared to the higher temperatures outside. The house was well stocked with all the necessities for a self-catering break. The supermarket was not far away by car, so it was easy to stock up on everything we needed for the 5 days we were there. However, a car is definitely advisable as there are not many shops or other amenities within walking distance. I would not hesitate to return.
Wonderful home with peaceful setting!
My husband and I just spent five great days in this home with his Florida family that came to stay with us. The house is incredible and in such a wonderful location. The two master bedrooms worked great, we didn't feel like we were on top of each other and we spent all of our time on the fabulous patio bird watching, coffee clutching, and catching up! The house is spacious and very well laid out. We would stay there again! However, after reading some reviews it looks as though a property management company has taken over and the house might not have been in the same condition for us as it was for the guests that stayed before the property management group took over.
The Cons:
-There is a ripped screen on the patio allowing bugs, birds, leaves, and hopefully not alligators into the pool area. With the wind picking up it made for quite the mess in the patio area.
-The grill was out of propane. This is a huge source of frustration for us, we rent vacation homes all over the US because we travel a ton. I hate getting to a rental and finding out that we have to find a propane place, do the swap out, and pay for it out of our own pocket. Thankfully, the Home Depot was right up the road but still- we don't like eating that cost.
-They claimed it was a well stocked kitchen. We would have to disagree. The home had no extra toilette paper, no garbage bags at all, no paper towels, we were left with one dishwasher tablet, and no dryer sheets. So once again, we had to buy a ton of stuff that should be provided.
-There are some mold issues in the home. Which, I'm sure, is totally typical for the area but I feel like the home isn't being cleaned and kept up on like it used to be.
If they could just improve on the house being stocked with the basics and make some repairs to the home, it would be so helpful for the next people that stayed. The home was still great and we would stay there again.
