We loved this location!

This massive home was more than we expected! The parking was very large, even with our boat. The home itself had huge rooms to sprawl out and relax, and the lake access was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again!

The Perfect Summer Getaway ☀️

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this VRBO on Lake Santa Fe's canal! The property is stunning, with plenty of space for our entire group to spread out and relax. The pool was a definite highlight. The home was well-equipped and immaculately clean. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway spot and will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way!

This was the perfect house for our visit! Spacious, quiet neighborhood, peaceful patio to sit by the pool and watch the canal. They were very accommodating to our schedule and requests, plenty of extras around the house too. Will definitely stay here again anytime we come back!!

Beautiful, spacious home with pool on canal

The property was great: clean, spacious, all the basic amenities. My only complaint is after all fees, the nightly rate was 1,000 which is very high in my opinion, especially since the house is canal-front, not lakefront and in a very rural area, far from decent restaurants, nightlife and shopping (for evenings and rainy days).
