Every thing was good. The door knobs and doors need to be replaced. There is a spot on the dock that needs to be repaired. I think there is a board that has broken underneath and that could be an issue. The master bathroom electricity wasn’t working. We called for two days and I emailed. We didn’t get a response until Tuesday. So we were not happy about that.

Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall, and we are very sorry for the maintenance issues and the delay in responding to you. Your comments about the doors, dock, and master bathroom electricity are very important, and we have passed them to our maintenance team for prompt inspection and repair. We understand how frustrating this was and will work to improve our response time so this does not happen again.

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.

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.

Great Memories

We all had such great fun! Everything we needed was there. It had something for everyone; quiet space to read or work, games for the rainy periods, pool, quick beach access and plenty of fishing space. Bait and Ice were a quick few blocks away and the area was quiet. The underwater lights weren't working this time, but the top light was good for evening fishing. Everyone had a great time and we plan to return.

Overall good stay

The house itself was a nice place. Could use some updating but overall a cute place. I wish the house would have had a few more things. There were plenty of kitchen utensils. Two trash bags for 11 people for 4 days didn’t seem like enough. It would have been nice if they had some basic cooking spices. The pool was great! Overall, I would stay here again

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.
