Everything about our stay was great. Communication with the property owner was very easy and the check in and out process was smooth. The house and amazing pool made for another great long weekend getaway!!!
This property was amazing!! The house ng was perfect . Beds were comfiy. Our family went and had the best time. Thank you for great stay 10 iut of 10 recommend
Our stay here was comfortable and relaxing, which is what we were looking for. We especially liked the large, very well equipped, kitchen and the comfortable outdoor seating area. I would give 4.9 stars if that was an option as the in-house air conditioner had been broken by a prior client and was not in service. However, they did everything they could putting two large standing units in the main living area to cool things down and dehumidify the areas, and we were able to open windows and use ceiling fans at night. The responsiveness to questions was outstanding and prompt as they worked to make what had to be a challenging situation for them comfortable for us.
We had a wonderful stay. The house and property are extremely well laid out, as is the pool. There is ample seating areas on the pool deck and the grotto is super fun. Communication with the host was easy and immediate. Thanks and we hope to return!
This is the second time we stayed at this property and it was as amazing just like the first time. The pool, grotto, slide and hot tub were enjoyed by all. We spent many of our days there just sitting by the pool and enjoying the peacefulness of the property. My family and I cant wait to go back again next year.
Place was super clean. And Laralyn was amazingly accommodating. Could not be happier. My extended family was amazed and wanted to rent this place in the future.
The house is lovely! The property is beautiful! The pool is pristine. We loved every minute of our time together there!
The AC went out in the middle of a heat wave and the property owner moved heaven and earth and actually found someone to come a fix it!
Wonderful property for your family and friends to relax together
Stayed over for one night with friends and family. All our guests loved the large space to connect. The little ones loved the space to run around as well. There was a basketball hoop, bowling ball + pins, and tetherball for the kids to enjoy. The large living room was perfect for everyone to come together after the day was over!
The property was beautiful and clean. Communication with management was clear and I appreciated the quick responses. Lots of room for plenty of people. I booked for an overnight stay for my 14 year old daughter's birthday with her 6 friends. They enjoyed the spacious property and hot tub (weather was too cold to enjoy pool). Plenty of rooms to choose from. Will try to stay there during the summer and use pool and huge backyard for a barbeque. Flexible with late check out. Friendly vibes from management.
The host is amazing and was fast and very attentive to anything we needed. We had trouble with some outdoor lights and there was someone there to fix them in 10 minutes. My family cooks a LOT...and the kitchen and dining areas were great for our family reunion. The pool slide is fast and very fun! Great times had by all. Would stay here again. Thanks to the host and staff for making this a great experience for our family!
The property was beautiful. Everything yoiu would need was provided. It was off the beaten path so very quiet and woodsy. Our group of 9 were high school buddies (50 years ago) having our yearly golf trip. Several golf courses within 15 min and after a round of golf in the warm weather, the pool was a life safer. Everyone staying there said the accomodations were beyond their expectations.
The house was spotless. The kitchen was large and well stocked. The pool/spa/slide/grotto and entire backyard were amazing, entire group loved it. The large front room was great for gathering a big group. The location was secluded which is exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely stay there again. The only negative (which is notated on the listing) is that the 6th bedroom is really just a shared room with the Master bedroom, but we made it work and it was a great time. Check in and communication with the host was very easy.
This is by far our favorite VRBO. Plenty of room for the whole family to get together. The property managers were amazing and it was the perfect getaway for some family fun. Peaceful and beautiful. Plenty do near by if you ever want to leave. Most of us just stayed on the property the wildlife was so much fun to watch. A perfect getaway and so worth it. 5 stars plus. ❤️
The communication was really good. We had plenty of space for all of us to stay. The hot tub provided so much relaxation and despite the weather we could utilize the internal one due to the grotto. There were a few little things we might suggest, but overall the home, privacy, communication etc. we are all amazing.
This was the second year we stayed at the house for our annual girls weekend away. Everything was so easy from completing the paperwork, checking in and communication with the host was excellent. Simple text to turn on the hot tub and the water slide and any other questions was seamless. Our group loves the spaciousness of the house and backyard. The pool was perfect temperature and it made lounging around all day catching up with our friends so fun & relaxing for our long weekend. Everything in the listing was there at the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked the house for next year!!!
Everyone loved this location. The property is fantastic for families and large groups. The water situation is a huge bummer. We used bottled water for everything, including brushing our teeth. The owners are communicative and friendly. The dishes, utensils and cookware are cleaned and maintained by people renting like us, and they were all filthy. Just be prepared to bring multiple jugs of water and I recommend disposable plates, utensils etc. Its a shame bc the place is basically otherwise perfect. I still do recommend and would go back, prepared with this knowledge.
We were a group of 11 senior women and we had an amazing time. The house and surroundings are relaxing and peaceful. I will note for the senior age persons there are no ADA modifications in restrooms and the pool however there is a way to enter the home with no stairs. Its hard to tell in the photos but there are 2 bedrooms and full hall bath on one side of the house, master with bath and 1 bedroom with hall 1/2 bath on the other and 1 bedroom at the entry. Perfect for large groups. Laralyn was a wonderful host she always responded to me within 15 minutes and resolved any issues (which were minor) quickly. Being a first time vacation rental person she patiently answered all my questions. I recommend this vacation home. Oh and they provide alot of amenities which is extremely appreciated.

Beautiful home and property! It was the perfect setting for our Christian Women’s Retreat. The house is very spacious and the master bedroom is enormous, with plenty of extra space. That’s why I was surprised that we were charged an additional 300 for three extra guests (we had 19 total), especially since there was easily enough room to accommodate a couple of airbeds in the master bedroom and living area.A few things to note for future guests: a walk-through is required by the person who booked the home before anyone can enter, and the gate code isn’t provided until that’s completed and guest numbers are verified. The extra guest fee also had to be paid at that time, which made arrival a bit stressful.While the listing photos show a beautiful pool, hot tub, slide, and grotto, these amenities can only be operated by the owner remotely. You must text the owner to have them turned on, and use is limited to three hours per day. The hot tub, for example, takes about 30 minutes to heat and is available for 1.5 hours of use — plenty of time, but it was inconvenient to have to text each time.The same applied to the fireplace — I had to text the owner to turn it on, and the switch to turn it off didn’t seem to work properly, as it would cycle on and off throughout the day.Overall, it’s a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay, but it was frustrating to have to coordinate so frequently with the owner during our retreat, especially when we were trying to focus on meals, fe

Unique property in a great location
My siblings and I enjoyed visiting this unusual property. We didn’t have an opportunity to use the pool or hot tub, due to the season, but they looked like fun. The true down side was the obtuse check-in process and invasive contract demands. This may be the result of previous bad experiences, but ultimately left us feeling uncomfortable. We were not given a front gate code until we walked through and confirmed the home was acceptable, then the given code was inaccurate. This was quickly resolved with a couple of phone calls, but annoying given the hoops we already had to jump through. Management informed us that even visitors must be announced, with first/last names and included in the occupancy; implying a desire to charge more for people not even sleeping there. Yet there was no mention of reduced rates with lower occupancy than originally planned. The location worked well for our needs on this trip, but I will likely seek an easier option when visiting the area in the future.

Disappointed
The property was beautiful especially the back yard pool, slide and hot tub. That is the reason we booked this house. Is to hang out in the pool and let our grandkids enjoy. However the hot tubs could only be turn on for 3 hours without having to pay extra. It was absolutely ridiculous. I had to text when I wanted it on. So so disappointing to have to plan when we wanted to play. I have never been to a vrbo that I was so upset at. We had a wedding to go to that lasted until 9:30 pm. We wanted to come back to the house and enjoy the hot tubs, but we couldn't because they had already been turned on for the day. The water on the slide could only be on for an hour. My grandkids were very very upset. We had talked about our get away and that pool and waterslide for months. Imagine how upset they were! I don't know why the owners cant have a switch for the waterslide and hot tub and put them on a timer so they will go off if people forget or if people want to play then they can. We were all just very very upset. Not a great get away!!
Location was as described with nothing hidden. Host was easily accessible via text group chat. We would be happy to stay at this location again in the future.
