"Folks, this was an incredible week for us at Joel’s wonderful VRBO home. Yes, the pool is private and enclosed with a screen lanai to keep the pests out. There is a really good space inside the lanai to sit in a covered patio with a grill and nice dining set. The river was a lot of fun and the water might be like glass one moment and have a sting current on another. There is a Jon boat and oars, but you might need a little bit of muscle to get it in and out of the river if you like. I bought a few used kayaks for less than 100 each to bring and that worked out perfect for us.The frogs, peepers and owls can be heard loud and clear from the surrounding wildlife areas. Yes, the tennis court/pickleball court is right there as well. My daughter and her dog had one room, my son had one room, my other son and daughter-in-law had the bedroom that opens to a super sweet solarium/ sunroom that has shared access to the master bedroom my wife and I used (private bath ).Joel has kept his property updated and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in it. His house is on site, but it’s probably further away from the rental property than you’d imagine. He has a really sweet ol girl of a hound dog that got along with our husky mix and my son’s ridgeback mix quite well… she just mosies around keeping a curious eye on who’s visiting her at that moment. We did a little fishing, and saw a gaitor from a distance. No other critters except for the usual geckos and bright green tree frogs. "
