On the lower level, there's a second living area with another TV and wood stove as well as a desk and chair if you need to get some work or remote schooling done while you're away. Head out to the heated and cooled garage game room equipped with Ping-Pong, an air hockey table that can be converted into a pool table, foosball, poker table, and more.

Great waterfront home

We stayed at Better Days for a week. The home was lovely with a great view of the inlet. The property was really nice and was far off the road. The kids loved the game room that had a pool table, air hockey, foosball, ping pong and a basketball game. The WI-FI was fed by a fiber optic network that was flawless. It's just a short drive to Food Lion and a handful of nice restaurants. We can't wait to go back!

Perfect!

It was such a relaxing week! The waterfront access was amazing! The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed to have a wonderful family getaway. Being that it was animal friendly had me nervous, but the home was spotless. Comfortable beds and furnishings. The hangout in the garage was very nice as well. Will definitely be booking again!

Relaxing getaway

This was a great house right on the lake. We enjoyed spending time down by the water and saw several birds we've never seen before. The property managers were responsive to any issues we had. We definitely recommend this property for a nice relaxing getaway.

Great stay!

This home was perfect for bringing our bass boat and practicing for a tournament. Location is wonderful and close to everything you need!! I was very impressed that the sofas had been vacuumed, since this is a home that allows pets - super clean - thank you for that!

Great spot for friends

Very peaceful lakehouse spot with lots of amenities and room to sleep and spend time together. Great game room. Check-in was tough (code didn't work, called 5 different phone numbers before getting to someone, backup code didn't work, first lockbox didn't have a key, second lockbox key didn't go to the front door). A lot of things worked just barely well enough (pool table is sturdy and the felt is great but the pockets are all broken, some of the lights didn't work). It really is a good spot for non-fussy friends to spend a long weekend.

Beautiful property but needs TLC

The property is great but the house needs attention (loose door knobs, doors that don’t shut, terrible scratched Teflon pans, outdoor furniture that should probably be retired, a game room with very worn games). We still had a great weekend and definitely enjoyed sitting on the deck and being on the water.

Incredible trip!

Incredible trip! We will definitely be booking this house again. The location and neighbors are wonderful. Only complaints would be the dishwasher wasn’t working, lack of cooking pans and cleaning supplies, and pillows were awful. But we will just bring our own next time.

PERFECT Family get away

Picture sitting around a firepit watching your children jump off the dock into a lake, swinging on a hammock, or kayaking yourself down a huge lake. A huge game room to relaxing in the AC during the hotest points of the day, marshmallows around a camp fire or taking a 2 mile away day trip to a local spot for cider tasting, which is kidand pet friendly. This place was a prefect get away for me and my large family. My husband, myself, my sister-in-law and 7 children had a blast and a not easily forgoten vacation.

Great location

Right on the lake, easy access to lake from home and from dock. House was clean and had all we needed . The game room definitely needs a dehumidifier in it, it smells like it’s at the water. Lot of games even if you don’t want to hang in there. Great area for walking the dog as well. Location is excellent near restaurants and breweries. Quiet location just what I was looking for.

5 star vacation

Great location - able to fish, swim, kayak from the dock. Large yard for games - corn hole, chip and putt. Great house - fit our whole family easily (7 people and dogs), kitchen for making our meals. Has open decks, screened area, outdoor picnic table, fire pit, and kayaks. Short drive to a Food Lion and boat marina for rentals. Wonderful relaxing week! Highly recommend and would return.

Great location

Overall we had a great stay. The house is nice and in decent condition, and the location on the lake could not be better. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with our coffee and taking the kayaks out each day. Plenty of space to relax and spread out. The kitchen could use a few more pots/pans and silverware, not much to cook with.The skylight leaked every time it rained so we had a puddle of water in the kitchen each morning.They also could clean the glass does coming into the house and out onto the decks as it didn’t seem those had been cleaned in months.

Great location, dated amentities

This is a great lake house - great size, excellent dock, wonderful decks. The house needs some basic maintenance and improvements. The lighting was pretty bad. The kitchen lacked silverware and was rather disorderly. The bath and kitchen towels were very worn and in poor condition. The game room was fun but had many broken games. We have fun and it was beautiful on the lake.

Beautiful home and great location!

This home has all you need for a quiet lakeside retreat. The private boat launch is just a few minutes walk from the house and it is a short boat ride to get from the launch to the private dock. It is a quiet neighborhood and not too far from Lake Anna restaurants. We enjoyed sunning on the floating dock during the day and relaxing around the fire pit at night. The game room is in the garage across the driveway with lots of room to play. Kitchen/dining room/living room is open floor plan so feels spacious even with a full house. We would definitely rent this place again in the future!
