This property was perfect for my family. Check-in was easy, location was close to pool and on an inlet of the lake. We had a well stocked kitchen for cooking and plenty of seating of our meals. Very comfortable!
I would definitely book this place again. Location was great. Beautiful views. Lots of room! Enjoyed cooking for my friends and sitting on the deck. Family friendly as well.
Loved the location and views. Super welcoming and comftarble home. Our host was great couldn’t have asked for a better over all experience totally will consider to come back if we ever visit again!
If this place is available rent it!
You don’t even need to leave the neighborhood.
Very nice pool that hardly anyone was at, I walked my dog up by there a couple of times.
It’s about 4 blocks maybe less.
Three suites all with their own bathroom.
Kathleen was very helpful with any questions I had after check in
Nice water access to the end of the cove in very calm water that got shallow and would be perfect for kids didn’t have to go out very far and was deep enough for a nice swim
This place also has a screened in porch that was perfect for one of the days it rained. the ceiling fan is great out there
I’m definitely planning on coming back here
Great place!!!!
Good property with plenty of room for our group the dishes were in the dishwasher when we arrived which we didnt know untill we tried to fill before leaving so we worked from the same few bowls/plates/utensils with several people because we didnt know they were there .... their were not extra linens anywhere just what was on the beds same with towels/wash rags was not stocked with extra so if longer stay will need to bring laundry soap to do laundry between because that was also not available for use. All closets and under beds were filled with stuff so no where to put your things if there for longer stay...nice to have access to water via stairs but be careful they are extreamly steep! I have a fear of heights and the parking was terrifying for me but I got through it lol all in all great community calm quiet area great communication with owner very prompt responses and extreamly helpful with things to do and good restaurants in the area!!
Property was great, well maintained and cared for! Good communication with host and she was very attentive. Wish we had more time to enjoy all the things that the area had to offer, but we only had a short stay.
We had 3 families with kids staying and the 2 queen beds with their own en suites was perfect. Communication was excellent. Any time I had a question I received a very quick answer.
Everything was better than we could have hoped for. We had a great time staying here and would 100% stay here again! Kathleen is very helpful and great at communicating with her guests!
Host was very accommodating and helped make sure we were happy. One thing I will note for future reference to others with small children, this chalet wasn’t the most toddler friendly. Sharp edged corners on the end tables, the screened in porch seemed like a toddler could just push it and fall out, like there should be spindles or balusters in place. I felt comfortable with my 6 year old out there, but not my 2 1/2 yr old unattended. I mean the photos show this so I should’ve known, but I guess in person it seems more unsafe. I appreciated the bottom rooms had deadbolts on the sliding doors so little ones couldn’t get out, because the bottom rooms led to the stairs that went straight to water. It wasn’t the cleanest rental I’ve ever been in but like I said the owner made sure to rectify our issues. We stayed end of busy season, so a lot was probably wear from busy summer and lots of guests. The kitchen was well stocked with plates and silverware and a few condiments we didn’t need to buy. We really loved the neighborhood pool within walking distance and the close proximity to Margaritaville.
This property was not as described. Said large living room. Sleeps 13. Our party was 10. Couch and 1 chair in living room. Ants on counter. Spiders in tub. Kitchen not stocked well. No mixer. 1 kitchen towel. I dish cloth. Add says washer and dryer. They were locked. They said because we were only staying 4 nights. What? Bath towel literally had a huge hole in it. Request to get in a lil early , wedding rehearsal was at 4. Nope. Golf cart we rented did not run right. Full of trash. Clothes, cans. Requested some compensation, was ignored. I do not recommend staying here. I never write a complaint. But for the price we paid, I expected more. Usually VRBO's are great. Not this one.

The house is fine but after being in a few other houses in the same neighborhood during our stay I’d say that you can either spend less for something the same or nicer; or spend a bit more for something far nicer. Here are a few things to know when considering this house. *inside is clean, but the exterior could use some cleaning and paint (especially the front door - it’s filthy!). It looks like some interior updating is in progress. *While the house is technically on the water, it’s the furthest back in the channel with basically a puddle of water. Enough to launch the kayaks but nothing more. There is no lake view. *It is a major undertaking to use the kayaks - very steep staircase. There isn’t a dock so hauling the kayaks up and down after every use isn’t going to be for everyone. *The mini split air conditioners have a hard time keeping the house cool, especially the top floor. *If the listing still pictures a washer and dryer, know that it isn’t actually available to guests. The owner ended up letting us use it, so that was appreciated. *The owner is quick to respond and seems to genuinely want your stay to be good. *There are deer everywhere. We walked out one morning to find one basically at the door. Pretty cool to see!*There are tons of pools and the margaritaville resort area is great for all ages.
