ROBCAST FAMILY VACATION
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time at 5 Lake but second stay in Shipwatch. 5 Lake did not disappoint for sure. If you hv little ones this is the house. Pond out back and feeding the turtles and fish daily was a highlight for our granddaughter. We will be back next year and the next . I was more than pleased with all accommodations.

Perfect Adult Family Home
We loved this house. Everyone had their own bedroom & bathroom and there was even enough space to spread out in the rest of the house. The beach was just a short walk from our door and the golf cart and bikes were perfect for our active & adventurous family. The kitchen was well stocked and there were more than enough towels for each bathroom. To top it off, there were two washers & dryers. This helped make our daily laundry chores go by quickly so we could spend more time having fun. The hot tub/pool on the deck was perfect for our water loving 10 month granddaughter. There are also turtles in the pond that come to greet you (beg to be fed) every time you venture near the back fence. The host is very responsive & helpful. We will not hesitate to book again when we visit the area.

Family Getaway
First impressions getting to the house was that it was clean and the layout was great. We had both elderly and young kids in our group and the location was just perfect. Not having to cross a busy street was ideal. It was also still close to everything plus the included golf kart, making it easy to get to everything. I would definitely recommend this place
