Review
We have used VRBO properties for family vacations for over 10 years and this property is truly a luxury site. It is clean, well decorated, 8 bedrooms with great mattresses, bathrooms aplenty, a kitchen upstairs and one downstairs. There are ample videos, books and games available for entertainment. The use of two kayaks and two paddleboards is a bonus. The kitchen is more well equipped than you can imagine, even such things as a spring form pan, zester, corkscrew, crock pot and the list goes on. There are plenty of dishes, glasses and eating utensils. The description of the house is accurate and it is far more than described. We met the owner on our arrival, she was leaving treats for a dog, we were impressed. Television everywhere and since the Stanley Cup Finals were on, this was a plus.
There are some maintenance issues: Corrected: 1. The washing machine upstairs did not work but it was replaced on Monday, 2. There was a leak in the ceiling of the bathroom near the stairs going up (it was repaired on Friday of our week). 3. The bean bags for the corn hole game were deteriorated and we replaced them. Need attention: 1. The ice maker and water on the refrigerator does not work and we had to buy ice. 2. The microwave in the kitchen upstairs did not work 3. The projector for the large screen has a warning that the lamp is nearing the end of its life. 4. The dish washer downstairs does not work (there is a note on the machine).5. In the master bathroom the handheld shower head cannot be used- it is frozen shut. 6. It should be noted that the paddle boards (we loved them) have carpenter ants in them.
Renters should be told that the house is not handicap friendly.
Finally, the dock is very dangerous. It had some grit but this has worn off and the last section is slippery when dry and very slippery when wet. We used the dock a great deal but it really needs serious repair. A sign with the message use at your own risk it not an appropriate remedy –it is called an attractive nuisance.
This house is great, there are some issues which the owner and manager can easily fix and it did not deter us from have a great experience. We still gave it a 5 rating. We all would recommend this VRBO as top notch.
