The outside of the property was beautiful. We enjoyed our time in the deck and dock swimming and watching the sunset. There is plenty of space in the home but it definitely needed some maintenance.

DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE. Upon check-in, host had not communicated info yet. Place is filthy. Carpet stains on both floors. Couch full of stains. Mouse ate our food wrapped in plastic on the counter. Oven did not work. Pots/pans filthy. Window coverings sparse. Lightbulbs missing throughout house. Advertised laundry, but we were asked not to use the laundry. No detergent. We were asked to minimize use of water. We were also asked to clean as much as we can when we leave -- but still paid cleaning fee. Bathrooms dirty. Slept in a bed that smelled like urine... Should have read the reviews -- quite a pattern established here. Emailed host after the first night. When he finally answered, his reply was that our expectations were too high. Logging a complaint with VRBO. This should not have slipped their radar.

The property is not as described or as reflected in the photos. There's a reason the kitchen and bathrooms are not reflected in the photos. What are also not reflected in the photos were the bugs in said kitchen and bathroom. For the two bedrooms with windows, both had several blinds missing. The outside of the property may have been well maintained at some point but it was not when we arrived. When we attempted to communicate with the property owner (he didnt contact us beforehand), the only response we received was the door code. VRBO's refund/rebooking process is no good so save yourself the trouble and don't do it.

I don’t generally write negative reviews on rental properties. I’d like to start off by first saying, we did not receive any check-in instructions, nor did we receive an access code to enter the house until 2 hours after check-in time. This means, My family had to wait out on the deck for 2 hours while I was on the phone with VRBO because owner was unresponsive. As soon as entering, there is a note on the wet bar area that states there is a load of dishes in the dishwasher and they didn’t have time to unload them. If checkout is 11:00, and check in is 4:00, there should be an ample amount of time to clean and make things presentable for the next group coming in. There are many reviews on this property citing things are functioning improperly THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED; the oven doesn’t switch out of preheat - we couldn’t use this and had to spend more money to feed our family of 9, burned out lightbulbs, missing blinds, etc. I do agree with one below that the view is this property’s only redeeming quality. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this stay to anyone. If there was obvious effort out towards keeping up with maintenance of this home, and concise communication with the owner on check in/checkout instructions, it would be a much more pleasurable experience for all.
