The property is perfect for friends or family. The owner was easy to work with and prompt with replies to questions. The location is great as it is right next to the pool. The home is equipped with everything needed. We really enjoyed our stay. We will be back.

Rental was very roomy but had no closet space for hanging clothes except for one closet which was being used for linen closet. Closets had locks on them all were locked and done me no good when I had formal clothes that were pressed for a wedding. Second I informed the owner I would be checking in late due to some extra errands I had to do after my daughter that had gotten sick and once I arrived the door code had never been changed for my arrival. I then had to message through the portal to get in after already speaking to owner earlier that day about my late arrival. Third there were no clear map or instructions on where the trash bin areas were located, usually something like that is in the room literature or placed on refrigerator but after speaking to neighbors we figured where that was located. Just lots of miscommunication.

I can appreciate that the access issue was frustrating. I assure you that is not the standard experience and that your access was provisioned in advance. However, when notified we quickly unlocked the door and solve the issue in less than 10 minutes of being notified. Second, only the owners closet inside the master bath is locked. All others are available for use with ample room for hanging items such as dresses. Our documents make reference to full access with exception of the owners closet. Our check-out communication via the VRBO platform chat provides instructions for all check-out tasks including location of the dumpster. In addition, there is a guest book provided in the living room that includes check-out instructions. I'm very sorry for the brief trouble with the access but I felt it was quickly addressed. I would have been more than happy to answer any additional question if you would have reached out regarding the closets or location for trash disposal. We appreciate the opportunity to host you and your guests. We hope the event was a success. Best regards.

Property looked just like the pictures. Was very welcoming and enjoyed the games and streaming television provided. Especially on a rainy day. We are looking forward to booking the same unit next summer!

Very nice condo and great amenities

The condo was very nice and clean. It has amazing views of Stardust Marina and Lake Norris. We docked our Sea Doo and boat on the catwalk on the pier below the pool area. The pool and hot tub are also a nice amenity. Overall Great Stay and would recommend.

Perfect family getaway

When booking this trip I was a little hesitant because I have all teenagers and usually our yearly family vacation is in a more “touristy” state. We just got home yesterday from spending a week at Makin memories lake house and my kids said they loved it and enjoyed it more than our usual spot. We definitely will be returning again next year. It’s looking like this will be our new yearly vacation spot to create memories. Jeremy, our house host, was super helpful & everything was just spot on. 100% recommend.

The condo was nice. Master and guest beds comfortable but the bunk beds were a bit rough. But because we came 2 weeks after season there were many amenities not available. The Jacuzzi was cold water which was actually a thing we were looking forward to. I may have been spoiled by my recent stay at a cabin in Virginia which had everything you could possibly think of - any kitchen appliance you would want, even snacks, robes, and slippers. Overall, we had a good time but don't advise off season.
