Waterfront Gulf Coast Getaway w/ Boat Dock!

Reviews

• Very nice place, but dock was broken and inaccessible

  2/5

  The house itself was very nice, very clean, well appointed, and as advertised and shown in the photos. My family loved the house, and the elevator worked, and the sunsets and sunrises from the front porch were fantastic.

  However, to our great disappointment the dock was completely rotted out about 15 feet from the short and there was a missing section of planking of about 15 feet that made the majority of the dock completely inaccessible. This was a HUGE disappointment to us because we had largely booked the house because of the private dock, so we could use it for fishing and boating. There was NO indication in the listing for the house or from the owners or from VRBO before we arrived that the dock was BROKEN. This constitutes false advertising, as the dock is prominently featured in photos of the house (shown as whole and in good condition) and in the description of the house. This was a HUGE disappointment to us and we felt that we had been cheated.

  Loved the property. Had everything we wanted in a peaceful vacation. Short drive to other areas and beautiful views.

• A couple of concerns

  4/5

  All in all the house was as described. We had stayed there before about a year ago. However, the outside ice machine was not functional.

  And the elevator was a major issue. I'd say it functioned properly about 1/2 the time over our 6 day stay. And even then, I had to trouble shoot it every time it's use was attempted and even this was successful maybe a little more than half the time.

  I do know there were occupants there just prior to our arrival so I can't imagine those problems not having already been reported?

  Having said all that, those are easily correctable issues. The dock with the boat lift (actually 2 boat lifts) was a great amenity as it is located about a mile from the boat landing at Lanark Market. So with this you don't have to trailer you boat after every fishing trip! Small matter but the owner left 2 bait traps at the end of the dock. That is very handy.

  I would stay there again.

• Great place, great owner!

  5/5

  This roomy house is RIGHT ON THE BAY. I mean right there. Plenty of parking, good kitchen, and the bedrooms are roomy. WIFI and TX service work well. Quick into Carrabelle.

  A previous renter has removed one of the window shades to black out morning sun. I contacted the owner, and he had someone out there to fix it the very next day (a Sunday!) Great reaction, great service. I felt like Rene cared about our stay. Thank you!
