We enjoyed our stay, the amenities and the view. Exactly as described. However, the check in instructions were incorrect and is last 4 of phone number, followed by the # sign. Instructions provided said last 3 of phone number. It made it very frustrating upon check in. Otherwise 100% successful trip. Just recommend updating your check in instructions with accurate information.

AC trouble
Here's what was good: The place looked good and had comfortable seating. The kitchen looked nice and the gas stove top and air fryer worked well. The pool and lake were pleasant to look at and the playground got a lot of use from 3 kids. Here's what wasn't good. The upstairs AC stopped working the day we arrived. They had no solution for this. We had already unloaded all our stuff and didn't want to leave. Because the downstairs thermostat was upstairs, the ther was no way to adequately control the downstairs AC. So it was either on or off as we manually set it. So we were either very cold or getting warm. Since we were gone during the day and only had to deal with heat at night, we stayed and they gave us a discount. All the windows opened but there were no screens on them. The double beds were very uncomfortable. All of the mattresses sink to the middle. One of the beds had a slat was broken on it. Putting that mattress on the floor improved it a little. This house is listed as a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom. IT IS NOT! It is 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms. Two half bathrooms do not count as one full!It has a great gas oven but we were told to use the air fryer. I'm assuming the gas oven is not used. The kitchen was not stocked well. The table tennis table listed as on the property was not there. In fairness, they said they had a rowdy group the week before and they broke it. Another was said to be on order. The playground wood is starting to rot.
We loved staying here! The house was clean and inviting. Communication with the host was easy with prompt responses! I highly recommend this property and will likely book this house again in the future when I need to stay in this area!
Very beautiful and cozy home for a family to stay in loved everything about it

There were roaches in the kitchen and downstairs bedroom. We were surprised to know the main oven didn't work. There was a small counter top oven. When I attempted to address it with the host she/he said they were under no obligation to tell us that the regular oven didn’t work. The gost stated that the regular oven was disconnected due to a previous issue with a guest. The host then stated this is why they don't recommend guest of more than ten. We had under ten guest. Further what does the number of gurst have to do with the oven? The property was very clean but the beds are really uncomfortable. Very thin matresses. The positive was that it is very spacious, nice outside seating. I would not stay here again.
The house is a bit away from everything close to the coast and in a nice, small community. The layout of the house is interesting, with 3 separate air-conditioned spaces all connected by the garage. Third floor has a half bath in a crawl space and a cute/unexpected kids play area with all sorts of toys for the little kids. Our small kids spent the majority of the time on that third floor.Backyard is nice with a small grill and playground. There is community pool and walking path around the lake just out the back gate, but unfortunately that gate is locked and the pool off limits (despite initial indications from the host that we could use it) due to apparently bad acting prior guests who ruined it for everyone.The bunk beds in the main bedroom are thin aluminum and very squeaky and not for light sleepers. House has all of the pots and pans that you would need. The ignition on the gas stove does not work and you have to use the supplied lighter to light the stove, which sometimes proved challenging because the burners are not identified on the stove. You have to turn the nob and guess which burner has turned on and hope to not guess wrong and get burned by a flare up of gas. We made it work though and cooked for most meals.The biggest problem was the gate. It closes automatically without warning or sensors, resulting in my car getting caught in the gate while it closed, destroying all fenders, doors, and mirrors and needing thousands of dollars of body work.
