This property met our wants for a canal house with a private pool. The general cleanliness--the bathrooms, kitchen, linens were all good. The outside of the house needs some maintenance. This property is new to Ryson and I am sure that they will maintain it. We have rented with Ryson before and have always been satisfied with them. This house had a key box, so check in and check out was easy.

House was not at all like pictured. All of the door handles were broken and half of the doors barely closed. When we first got there and were walking up the stairs the handrail fell on top of my cousins ankle.

Loved this place. 100% as advertised. Fishing was amazing and the kids had plenty of room to play. Nice quiet neighborhood with very nice people. Had one little issue with a breaker and they had someone out there in 20 minutes on a holiday weekend. Will continue to stay here

The location of Luna Mar was beautiful, can’t beat the view. The property while decorated very nice, is in bad need of updating. The deck was literally falling apart the patio furniture also. No decent frying pans or knives. Flooring in kitchen and living room needs replacing!! Very nice pool, however the last full day we were there, I was cussed out by the pool guy, he told me to go F myself when I asked him if he could come back the next day so the kids could swim before 8:00pm. Very very rude way to speak to a grandmother!!!! I would stay here again but I would definitely bring my own pans and knives!!!

Awesome place to stay

We have rented this home a couple of times now. We always have a great time there fishing. The home does need some work done to it to fix it up. The washer and dryer did not work this time around. Other than that it is a great place to stay with your family and friends. Plenty of room for the whole family to fish and is in a great location for fishing. We will be staying there again.

Fabulous!

This was perfect for our family! The kids loved fishing and they even went swimming even though it was very chilly. Perfect vacation. Only complaint is that there was a den of roaches under the dishwasher that would come out a lot. Definitely recommend!

Annual Gals Beach Weekend

The property is perfect for our purposes which eat, drink, relax, play some games & enjoy being around each other while leaving all home responsibilities at home! We will soon start planning next year's trip & will be coming back to this house. One suggestion would be to label light switches. Also in the house book info the username & password need to be switched.

Great atmosphere

The sprinklers come on and keep the canal side of the home soaked. There is a broken sprinkler that seems to be the problem. There was a very strong urine smell in the master suite. I stayed in the room closest to the front door because we couldn't handle it. The know on the dryer is still broken and the built in microwave works intermittently. But over all we would stay there again in hopes the smell in the master was gone.

We had a great time

We really enjoyed the property. There are some things with the property that needed to be maintained. A portion of the deck off the water had collapsed. The lighting off of the pool didn’t work. There was not gate keypad on the inside of the property. The fishing lights weren’t operational. The pool light didn’t work to swim at night. Handles missing off of doors. The kitchen lacked on silverware and knives. With all that needs to be maintained we still had a great time. Excellent sunsets, fishing and crabbing. The Poole was great to have during the day. Comfortable accommodations. So much seating.

Our least favorite VRBO rental

1. Was not real clean. 2. There were ants and spiders. 3. Pool was dirty and when they tried to vacuum the vacuum did not work. 4. Downstairs bedrooms had an order. In fact the smaller one was so bad we could not use. So we went from 6 bedrooms to 5. 5. Oven did not seem to be calibrated. We used it twice and both times things were very much undercooked. We used the same time and temp we used at our homes. 6. Power in the master bathroom went out Sunday. 7. There were 2 microwaves and one did not work and the other had a chemical smell that got on the food. 8. The den floor had some slots not the middle of the the room that were breaking up and looked rotten. We had to keep the infants away from that area.

Weekend Getaway with Friends

This property was great. Nice location, beach entrance right across the street from the neighborhood entrance. Large home with plenty of room for our couples trip with friends. We will definitely be back. We encountered several small problems that need to be fixed but, those problems won’t deter us from coming back. Some of the issues were that one of the railings on the main staircase is loose. There were multiple lights outside that did not work including the pool light. There were so many different switches you just didn’t know what did what. A label would be really helpful. Especially since there were many switches where we couldn’t find what they did or went to. The middle door downstairs by the kitchenette had a broken doorknob so you couldn’t get it open. There was a light switch on the patio outside of the living room that was loose, broken, and again wouldn’t turn anything on. There were so many random bowls, vases, and pots placed everywhere around the house for decor that it was overwhelming. So again, we had some minor issues but overall the property was great.

Bay side fun

We found the property to be as described. We had problems finding all the outside light switches but did eventually figure them out. There were two sets of flood lights facing the pool we never did find a switch for, but when the light bulbs were screwed into the socket they worked, but got very hot so when trying to turn them off again, the use of a towel to protect hands came in handy. So we did not use them. Air conditioning worked great, pool was clean and bright, appliances all worked wonderfully well, a very well stocked kitchen, has anything you could possibly need for cooking and serving. The underwater fishing lights did not work - seemed to be shorting out each time we tried to cut them on(we did not call maintenance about them while there), but the overhead fishing lights worked great and we did catch fish. Loved the big lawn area in back of the house, the kids played ball and other outside games. The view of the bay and looking down the canal was beautiful. We also enjoyed watching workers bring in a barge of equipment to set pilings for a beach house across the way in the canal. Kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, grilling outside, fishing, felt safe leaving the gate open when we left to go into town. It was a happy place for our family vacation!!
