Outstanding location. Great place to bring your boat for vacation . Dockage for 3-4 small boats. Beautiful view. House set up well for kids. Eight bunk beds in one bedroom. House was clean . Minimal landscaping. Kids want to come back.
The cleaning lady was very nice and the home was pleasant. If you want Pina Colladas bring your blender as the one there had no jar. If you love an extremely soft bed then you will be happy, if you have a bad back you're probably better off on the couch. The pier and fish cleaning station is awesome, caught a lot of catfish and something really big that took our pole.

Very disappointed in our rental. Looked nothing like it did on vrbo. Grass overgrown pool was dirty drains wouldn't drain trash can was full of smelly trash with maggots.
In a fantastic location, by the water , pool was good, house is very, very, well stocked , nice / pleasant inside, tv,s hard to understand , but managed some how , clean enough and well prosecuted, outside was very untidy in general, grass needed cutting, needed insect spaying ants everywhere, but really enjoyed our stay and would come back next year if the out was sorted, overall good with a bit of tlc could be be absolutely fantastic
