We had a very nice stay in this rental after we got past a couple hurdles … I stayed there with my adult daughter and my 2 young granddaughters. The lake was great and walking out into the back by the lake definitely gave us the “ bayou feeling” and the gorgeous white sand beach is just a very short walk away!! Our only complaint is that when we arrived at the property, the storage building that housed all of the beach equipment was locked and we had no access to it. Which was a very big deal for us because our main draw to this property was the close proximity to the beach and all of the beach equipment… we lost almost 2 days at the beach waiting for the storage to get unlocked. What we had planned was a BEACH VACATION… we all 4 love the beach and our intention was to spend the biggest part of EVERY day at a different beach in the area… My granddaughters are ages 3 & 7 so umbrellas, sand toys, ice chest, etc are conveniences that we required to go to the beach and stay for longer than 30 minutes… so the fact that we didn’t have those things until LATE in our 2nd day was very upsetting! Also there was only one very small trash can (in the master bathroom) in the whole house! And no broom/mop! After requesting these from the host, they did bring us a kitchen trash can and broom (no mop) mid morning on the 2nd day so I was happy with their response time on that request. The beds were very hard… some people prefer HARD beds and they will love these beds… After the storage building was unlocked, the rest of our stay at this rental was great! We felt very comfortable and “at home” there! We did get to “meet” the alligator that lives in the lake and loved watching the soft shelled turtles! Also, the first day that we arrived there were 2 pretty big iguanas resting out by the lake… we managed to get some pictures of them and good thing because we never seen them again after the first day!! I would definitely recommend this rental property for families or even adult couples… hopefully we will be able to book this property again in the future!
