The driveway was impassable, forcing us to carry all our gear up an unstable hill or uneven stairs with exposed rebar at ankle level. The trash cans were full and there were no bins to put out. One blanket for five rooms. Awful smell in the basement. All the seating is bar stool height. The kitchen is tiny, was ill-equipped and there was no place to put our food. The listing made it look like this was on the water. It isn't. It is one block west but there is no public access. When my car was damaged trying to use the driveway, the manager dodged and the owner never responded. Anderson Island is a great place. The quiet and nearby parks were terrific. We'll go back to Anderson but we will not book this place again.

The house is large and accommodating. The bunk room is especially good for family gatherings. Nice game room in the basement and a comfortable living room with comfy couches. We did not experience the cleanliness issues others have noted. Overall we found the place clean and tidy. The only cleanliness issue is just a general need for touch up paint and repairs. I would leave a five star review except for some items that should be easy fixes but have not been addressed in this house for some reason: - Dishwasher not screwed into the counter, so it flops all over the place and difficult to use. This is a 30 second repair with a drill and two screws. Please fix. - The sheets, while clean, were *terrible*. They were the cheapest sheets from the discount rack at Target, and were kind of worn out to boot. A slightly higher quality set of sheets on each bed would go a long way. Don't need 600 thread count Egyptian cotton, but just slightly better. - Speaking of bedding, the blankets were also worn and too thin for the winter. Worth an upgrade. - The toaster... I know this is silly, but the toaster was hilariously not good. Just replace it! It's like $10! - Would be nice to have a larger collection of cutlery. For a house billed to accommodate large groups, there should be a lot of forks, knives and spoons so you don't have to run the dishwasher as often. Just a thought. Lastly, note that the house is constructed such that it's not well sound insulated. Thin walls and doors, so it is easy to hear what's going on floor-to-floor. Wasn't a problem for us, but FYI.

I do not typically get reviews done but in this case I wanted to make sure that I did. I was scared off by all the reviews and was skeptical to rent this house. We had a great time! The house was clean and had everything we needed. We played games, relaxed and even got to go outside and sit on the deck. The kids walked down to the dock which is a short walk down a trail across the road. There were tons of DVDs to watch and we enjoyed playing pool and darts. We loved being able to bring the family dog as well. Peaceful area! My only suggestion would be to change out the bed downstairs from a double to a queen as it had plenty of room and would help many people better accommodate guests. Great house! I am soo thankful I chose to try it regardless of the previous reviews and we will be back again!

Perfect size for our group. Quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our stay!

We arrived on the island and found the house very easy. The driveway is gravel and quite steep but it’s short and once you are on the property you are relaxed! There were some cleanliness issues such as a vape pen stuffed in the cushion of the couch, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling fans upstairs and the basement bed had dirt and pine needles in the sheets. Since it’s a pet friendly home, expect a slight odor of dogs in the upstairs bedrooms. The house is laid out well and the bunk room on the main floor for the kids was perfect! The bedrooms upstairs are spacious with lots of storage. I wish the beds were more comfy as they were a lot harder than we prefer, but since it’s a vacation rental it’s understandable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, dishes, coffee maker, toaster, etc! Everything we needed was there. The game room downstairs in the basement was so much fun! We played a lot of pool and board games. We also used the fire pit out the basement door in the grass. We saw lots of wildlife including deer who showed up to munch on the blackberries. The lake is just a short walk down two flights of steps and a short path away from the house. The dock is in great shape and it’s super peaceful at the lake. The marina for the community club is just a short drive away and there’s an lovely beach to walk on while you watch the boats, seals, birds, and other ocean life. We spent a lot of time on the main level balcony deck listening to the birds and enjoying the forest surroundings. If the cleaning crew paid a bit more attention to the overall cleanliness of the house, I’d give it five stars. Overall we had a wonderful time!

We had one FABULOUS vacation this week. We will forever have great memories. What a beautiful house, we were very impressed with the views, the three outside levels, all the bedrooms gave us space when we needed it and the gameroom brought us together for darts, pool, games and puzzles. We did smores at the fire ring for 2 nights. Having 3 bathrooms was so necessary. House was clean and just enough extra dishes, pots and pans to keep everybody fed. Kayaks were there for our first time experience and the lake was perfect. The Help line was terrific, and friendly. So, you must thinking, was there anything negative ? The only negative experience was the gravel driveway....BUT....we managed...SUGGESTION --- Keep the concrete entry swept clean and bring a professional in to pack that rock..I would be interested in coming back but that driveway needs attention. The island resident are so friendly, grocery store was very well stocked. Thank You VaCaSa....you will have my business in the future.

Me and my family stayed here for 3 days over the weekend. We came here to have fun in the water with our 5 kids, and we knew it was dog friendly. When we arrived, our minivan couldn't go up to the entrance. The car was dirty with gravel and sand, and the huge hill makes it difficult for the car to climb. We eventually parked downstairs and carried our luggage up the steep stairs. This stairway was impassable due to the raw blackberries, and we were able to climb it after removing the surrounding blackberries with the hatchet we took with us. Also at the end of the stairs there was an iron core which was very dangerous for the children and one of my children fell here and punctured her knee. The house smelled bad, it smelled like dog urine, and I couldn't even sit on the sofa because of the smell of dogs. All the big window screens were broken, so we visited on the hottest day of the year and we couldn't even open the windows because of mosquitoes. There was no air conditioning here. There was broken light on the narrow stairs going downstairs, so I needed a flashlight every time I went there, and the bathroom at the end of the stairs was not cleaned and someone pooped. It was a house we picked for swimming, but there were not enough towels and there was no soap. I've been to several vacation homes, but I can't find any description of the house anywhere, and the manager hasn't even been contacted. A house that couldn't communicate with anyone and couldn't deal with problems. For your own safety, think twice before visiting here.

We were excited given the overall good ratings, though a bit apprehensive due to some recent negative reviews. When we arrived our concerns were alleviated as everything was in good shape. The place was clean and the amenities were good. My family had a great vacation here. We agree with the two points made in other reviews that the place needs more silverware and the driveway (and stairway to the yard) is quite steep. There is a bonus parking spot at the bottom of the driveway we used for the one car we used to get around the island so we had to manage the driveway only upon entry and exit. The beaches and parks are great and we enjoyed taking the kayaks on the lake across the road. Overall I would highly recommend this property.

Access to the home requires 4wheel drive to climb a steep hillside covered in1 inch gravel that spits out the back as you try to reach the home. And access to the 2 lakes and locations on the sound typically require member/guess passes or are off-limits because they are private property. The home is nice enough, but the abundant blackberry vines and thickets surrounding it are not.

Good place for family to come together for the weekend. Dock to lake is across from house. The teenagers enjoyed hanging out downstairs playing pool. Will be back!

Good things first: Great location, lake was beautiful, kayaks, lots of communal space. The Full Picture: The lack of cleanliness is unlike anything I have ever seen. There is damage to walls and doors-really just everywhere. Screen doors fell off, chairs fall apart, porch railings flimsy, we really hesitated to touch anything for fear it would just collapse. Please take special notice of the hooks holding the kayaks! Beds were super uncomfortable spring mattresses and not the sizes listed. There were no queen beds-they were all fulls/doubles. They all need a memory foam mattress topper. Linens provided were limited and the sheets were scratchy. The cleaning.... It is really hard to express the level of uncleanliness of this house. Our duvet had no duvet cover and it had pubic hair and feces smeared on it. I took pictures and contacted the manager about this and she asked if I wanted her to send someone over or if I would clean it. No apologies, nothing. Our nightstand table had dried soda spilled all over, the sinks were clogged and we found other people's belongings under the beds and throughout the house. Downstairs smelled horribly of mold. They didn't even provide any cleaning supplies for guests to use, not even surface spray. The pictures do not accurately portray the space. The space is actually quite small. Front door opened into the kitchen, coming very close to the oven.. Kitchen is meagerly stocked with simple basics left wanting. Knives were comically dull. Bring extra cups, plates, bar towels, etc. There was a single children's life jacket. Several games and items listed were not present, such as the disk golf set up. THE DRIVEWAY IS STEEP! No seriously, it may not look like it at first, but our camper van sustained substantial damage to the underside and we have yet to hear back from Vacasa on our insurance claim. The Subaru Outback behind us even bottomed out. Recommend stopping before the driveway and evaluating the best route up. For some vehicles it will not be possible. Vacasa, the management company was neglectful, had poor communication and were overall the downfall of this rental. It has so much potential, but needs attention and care they are not willing to put in. Will never stay at a Vacasa home again.

There are some fun activities on the island. The house was a little lacking. It is advertised for 12 but had plates for 9 and silverware for 6 or 8. It needs some TLC in the kitchen. The driveway is very step and almost needs a 4 wheel drive. House has nice decks and game room.

This place was more than amazing for my family while waiting for our on base housing to open up. We spent most of the time just letting kids play downstairs in the game room or upstairs playing card games with us. Very family friendly no complaints !!!!
