The property has everything we needed for our stay, and the location on the lake is fantastic. Cozy cottage for anyone who likes the rustic look. Liked it so much, I am coming back in a few weeks for another stay.

We selected the location to access the Santee Cooper lakes to bass fish. The location was ideal giving us close access to various boat launch ramps. The house was clean and comfortable and suited our needs perfectly.

Disappointed
House was dirty, no sandy beach, dock was in bad shape, bathroom floor in bad shape floor is separating, bathroom door was hard to shut. Some of the pots were not clean, old furniture, some of the furniture needs to be junked. We left on Thursday morning. My home much nicer to finish our vacation. I took pix of you would like me to send to you. I plan to put on face book.

Nice place to get away. Fishing from the dock wasn't to good only caught small fish and turtles. Dock lights didn't light up enough to see at night. Great place to stay and fish if you have a boat. We enjoyed ourselves. Peaceful, relaxing getaway.

Nice trip
We enjoyed our stay there and it was nice to have our own dock to come and go with the boat when we wanted. The screened in porch was definitely a plus as well. Unfortunately, although it was clear from our communications that we were bringing our dog, the owner failed to charge a pet deposit up front and we got hit with an extra $50 after we checked out; and for some reason the cleaners said we didn't take our trash when we absolutely did SMH. However, we were glad to find a place that would in fact allow pets.

Great getaway, but barking dogs and no supplies.
Came late on a Sunday evening after a 5hr drive to find the place neat, but no trash bags, (not in the cans or anyplace in the house at all) no toilet paper (yikes!) or dish soap anywhere in the place. Having to go back out and find a store after a long trip was frustrating. The listing did not state we would need supplies, maybe an oversight from the cleaners? The place was neat, but had been cleaned in a hurry, there was clothing under one of the dressers and empty water bottles and spilled aspirin next to the chair, not a big deal to us, the beds were comfy and bathroom was clean. Kitchen was stocked with any dishes you might need. Neighbor has 3 little dogs that bark INCESSANTLY if anyone is outside. The biggest drawback is the listing does NOT state you have to disclose of your own trash - there was just a note on the fridge (plus we paid a cleaning fee) nor does it give directions as to where to go, so my husband tried to find the dump station upon leaving, but it was in the OPPOSITE direction we were traveling and we were towing a boat and trailer, so we had to bring a weeks worth of trash and dog poo 5 hours home to dispose of it. This is unacceptable to not be mentioned in the listing, especially if you paid a cleaning fee. The view of the property is spectacular and this place is perfect for a fishing trip, but due to the trash/supplies situation and the neighbors barking dogs, we’d probably probably not book this one again.

Lovely home
The house was clean, cozy and as described. The house was right on the lake and the atmosphere was very relaxing. There's 3 bedrooms with only 1 tv and the wifi wasn't the strongest. Justa heads up if you are travelling with a group of people or a larger family. It was just myself and my fiancee so the 1 tv was fine and the lack of wifi gave us more of a reason to skip out on work and reconnect with the beauty of nature that surrounded us. All in all, it is a beautiful home in a beautiful area.

We really enjoyed our vacation. The beds were super comfortable and it was very clean. A really nice yard and quiet neighborhood. The water was down a couple of feet so we weren't able to use the boat ramp but we put in somewhere else and caught lots of fish. We had a great time!

This place is very nice. Very peaceful and nice people in the community. The house is very nice and very clean. Even though this place is in the middle of no where and it takes about 20 mins to get back to town, we really did enjoy it. Very peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again. Especially since I know where it is and what it is all about. I can highly recommend it.

Stay at the lake.
The rental was clean and had nice access to the lake. However, we did not have a working coffee maker when told kitchen was fully equipped. One of the beds were broken and fell when we went to sleep in it and the other one squeaked with every movement. Our confirmation stated check out was at 12 noon. The cleaning person rudely told us that we were passed check out time at 11am and promptly called the owner. We left the property within 15 minutes as they waited angrily for us to leave. I had message the owner prior to our stay requesting how to pay the pet fee. Due to not seeing the option to pay the $35 pet fee on Vrbo I had message her asking instructions on how to pay. We received a call/ message from the owner stating we had stayed passed our check out time and we brought a pet without notice. I did leave a message to her upon our return home, explaining the pet situation whereas I had messaged her prior to our stay and discussed our less than pleasant stay. I offer to exchange the newly purchased coffee maker we left for the next visitors for the $35 pet fee or to give us better instructions of how to pay the pet fee. I had no intentions of having a pet there without payment but felt like we were being accused of doing so. I was disappointed in how we were treated on our last day by the cleaners and then the message from the owner.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Jul 2021
The guest did purchase a coffee machine and leave it at the lake in lieu of her pet fee...but this ws done without my knowledge. I was asked how you pay the pet fee and I explained that went thru VRBO but later she stated that she could not figure out how to do that. My caretakers are informed when there are animals present to prepare for extra cleaning. there was another coffee machine in the lower cabinet that she could have used. I have replaced the boxspring and tightened up the bunk beds. When my caretakers came to clean they were told that they were not aware of a checkout time . My caretakers have many properties and yards they maintain and having to wait on someone to leave throws a wrench into their schedule. I am sorry this guest had such a terrible time, but I found communication to be lacking.

Relaxing week
Overall, an excellent rental experience. The house is small, but homey and comfortable. Sitting in chairs at the shore was the unexpected highlight for relaxed enjoyment and being entertained by the wildlife and beautiful water view. The screened porch was perfect for meals with ample seating. The kids enjoyed playing at the sandy beach, and all of us enjoyed playing/swimming in the warm water! Communication with Faye was outstanding. It was HOT the week we were there, but with AC in the house, and the breezes off the lake, it was wonderful. Thank you Faye - we had a quiet relaxing week.

Enjoyed our time at the round house. We could only wish the weather would have cooperated better, but the last few days finally cleared and was beautiful. Everything in the property was perfect. The only constructive criticism would be the internet service. Since we had storms the first few days, the service, being satellite, skipped out. Thanks for having us!!
