We really enjoyed our stay but did have a few issues. For example, the dishwasher door was nearly impossible to shut and sometimes wouldn't stay shut. One of the pockets of the pool table would fall right off when a ball was shot into it. The grill was falling apart (the burners). The bed in the windowless bedroom squeaked quite badly (so loudly that it woke up the 4 month old baby). If the property manager took care of these things, it would be great.

From The Owner: "Hi Dan, We appreciate your honest feedback! We have upcoming maintenance scheduled on this property and will address the issues you listed. Thank you!"
We enjoyed our stay but noticed there were many things that were less than stellar. The dishwasher door was really hard to shut and would then pop open by itself. One of the pockets on the pool table would fall right off when a ball was shot into it. The grill burners were falling apart. The bed in the upstairs, windowless bedroom squeaked so loudly that it woke up a sleeping four month old baby. Despite these things we did have a great time.
House is absolutely beautiful! My kids had an amazing time! All the boats in the pictures are not actually on the property. But the fire pit outside and the air conditioning in everyroom was amazing not to mention the pool table. They have 2 large tables outside on the deck big enough for a 12 person family/group. Breakfast and dinner outside with everyone was very nice. Bathroom on first floor JUST BEAUTIFUL! YOU can really tell they took their time with this property! Loved every moment and cant wait to take my family back!
