Thank you for your kind words. We’re happy you had an enjoyable time. We love this place also it’s beautiful quiet fun and family friendly. Thank you again for your kind words Frank and Lily.
the property is beautiful inside and out. The inside had a lot of space for our group. Love the screen porches on front and back and the fire pit and dock were really nice too! Would definitely recommend staying there!! Host was great too!
So quiet and relaxing. Fishing in the canal was great. Caught and released a 17 inch bass plus other fish. We have stayed before and look forward to staying again in thefiture.
Host was poor with communication only wanted to talk wild to the women and old man, house had soft spots everywhere in the floor. Holes in the porch half the steps were falling apart.

This review is not true because I could not accommodate the guest at what they wanted so they’re trying to get back at me. Please look at all the previous reviews. I have five stars for as long as I can remember my wife and I take pride in our quiet retreat. They wanted to rent the place without going through vrbo I told him I couldn’t collect or hold her cash. It did not set well I could tell. Then they asked for a late check out. I said I couldn’t because I had maintenance arriving early that afternoon and they weren’t very happy. To add that they weren’t very truthful. They brought two pets and two extra people that part would’ve been OK if they would’ve paid but they didn’t. Additionally, they didn’t clean up a weeks worth of dog poop in the backyard. Which is now cleaned.
As fishing was our goal, very good access to dunn's creek. Nice to have covered boat dock and cleaning station. Overall home clean, efficient and well equipped. Frank responded quickly and was very gracious. Would book again
We took a long weekend getaway and this home was perfect. It was clean, well equipped and quiet. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch or playing pool on the front porch. Kitchen had everything you wanted to cook with. Home and property was well kept. Already booked a week in December.
We have another Rental property VRBO 2492253 around the corner for 2 years and while enjoying it we have had great times sharing with others with great reviews. This property caught our eye and notice ii is Family and Pet friendly becuase of the size, fencing and 2 screened porches (also the pool table helps)
Why they chose this property
Quiet and cozy - with wild life and water.
