"Great place but I didn’t realize it only had a rain water collection system. The water is at the street so hopefully that changes soon. Minus 1 star until treated water is hooked up."

The house was even better than expected! Perfect for a week in the sun. We enjoyed that it was secluded from neighbors but not far from the essentials. The host was quick to respond! We hope to stay at Torchview again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Great location in a tranquil area.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2025
The location was perfect, pristine waters, long dock, peaceful, absolutely beautiful setting. The house had many issues, from ac that took forever to cool, to window crank handles (4) that either fell off in your hand or just didn’t work, slider screens were missing, wouldn’t close/open or just fell off, drywall all over ceiling cracked and pieces that fell down on the floor, filthy pans put away in cabinets, pocket doors in bedroom and bathroom wouldn’t close. Property manager responded immediately and agreed to refund the money, so I applaud her for her part. This place just needs owner to give much needed tlc. It’s a fantastic location with views to die for but in extreme disrepair. I will be looking for another rental in the same area, but for the price, not this one.
