Lush Gilbert House w/ Outdoor Oasis on Lake Murray

Reviews

• Great Lake getaway!

  5/5

  This property was the perfect place for a quiet family vacation. The pool onsite kept the kids busy anytime we were at home and the dock out back was a great place to sit and read in the mornings! We were there during a weather event and the property manager was responsive when we had questions.

  From boat rides to sunsets, this place was a nice place to relax and enjoy some time with wife and kids. Clean and easy checkin and super easy checkout. Would definitely stay there again

• Great Vacation turned out to be our worse nightmare.

  2/5

  💢The check in was A+.

  The house was clean apparently, sheets had a foul smell, dust all over, stinky fridge.

  The house was still like unfinished, unfinished wood and wall paint.

  A side from that, I didn’t care; usually arrive n clean n wash all that I will be using, mop, n so on; so it was like whatever.

  The small bedroom’s floor vent doesn’t work.

  Nice place aside from every thing else; We totally enjoyed the place.

  Our nightmare sort of began, on Friday a bit, we were to leave on Sunday.

  My older son, began with a headache, next day followed by chills.

  We left Sun at like 9ish am 8/27/23.

  He still had horrible headache all the way home.

  We arrive home he felt sick stomachache fever and headache with chills, a rash began tiny on near wrist n near elbows n on near ankles.

  Next day went to Dr., nothing refer him to a dermatologist.

  Dermatologist did blood work and a biopsy of his arm, since they didn’t know what it was.

  Next day called our Doctor, he thought it was poison ivy prescribed him Benadryl for itch and Steroids. Nothing seem to work.

  Results came back he was Healthy.

  Now, he had severe lower abdomen pain could hardly walk n had horrible rash only on his arms legs, ears n top of lips and with fever. My son said call the Dr. symptoms r getting worse, so Dr. Said come in to office, n then send him to Connecticut’s Hospital, they hospitalized him 4 days, still on meds. Skin: Chemicals in pool reacted with sunlight, rest of his symptoms don’t know yet. 💢‼️

• Little disappointing

  3/5

  Me and my boyfriend booked this property for a 5 night/4 day stay and unfortunately we’re a bit disappointed. For the amount of money we spent on this VRBO; you’d think cleanliness would be a priority. Most of the walls and vents were incredibly dirty and some of the rugs/towels were either stained badly or not cleaned properly.Before booking, I read some reviews from over a year ago about updates in the home, but they certainly are far from finished. Almost every single wall had holes in them where shades/curtains used to be…and now there are none. It would have been nice to use some sort of curtain in the living area for privacy. The bedrooms/bathrooms were incredibly old, especially the showers. We also stayed 5 nights and were left literally two rolls of toilet paper, about 4 tablespoons of dawn dish soap and 0 trash bags. With all that said, the pool was incredibly clean and very nice and refreshing. Unless the clouds are out, you will be directly in the sun, no shade on the deck/pool area. We did get use of the lake the house is on which was perfect for paddle boarding/kayaking. The outdoor access to lake and pool made this property worth it. I hope the updates continue because it has a ton of potential.
