This was a great place to stay with family. We enjoyed fishing from the pier, puzzles and restaurant recommendations.

The home had beautiful finishes. Everything was clean except for a few dirty dishes found in the cabinet. Overall, we enjoyed the pool, being on the water, and kayaking. We were very comfortable.

Super clean and well stock with the important things you need for a family.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Pros: great location, house had nice amenities: washer, dryer, nice furniture and kitchen appliances, pool and kayaks.Cons: house keeping. Owners probably pay an outside person or company to clean. Which can make or break a vacation house. We brought extra toiletries just incase but we did not bring laundry detergent because I assumed there would be some since other reviews complimented how well things were stocked. There was no laundry detergent, two rolls of toilet paper and the pool net was broke when we arrived so we could not scoop out leaves every dag. Master bedrooms sheets were stained an orange color. The shower also had hairs in it. The floor wasn't very clean on arrival. House was hot as well and took a while to cool off. I know this is to conserve energy but knowing guests were arriving the thermostat could have been atleast been set to 75 or below. I also had an itchy irritated spots I assumed were mosquitoe bites. As the days went on they got worse and my lips were swollen I assumed it was a reaction to the sun or wind. I went to the Doctor when I arrived home. They were almost certain that they were bed bug bites. Although I did not see any bugs my spots were text book for bed bug bites. I never leave a bad review on vrbos especially for minor things but this stay they stacked up.
