    This stay was fine there are a few things that need attention. The master bedroom shower was not working it was reported but no one came out. The stove was very weird and would go on and off while cooking. And they have a problem with roaches we had a few crawling on kitchen floor and in my dogs food bowl and on the wall of living room that needs attention ASAP. Otherwise it’s a nice house and good location very roomy with 2 rooms downstairs so families have separate spaces.

    The accuracy of this listing is inaccurate and very misleading. We were thoroughly disappointed by our stay and would not return. The house had far too many simple maintenance issues that are not being addressed. We contacted the management company 5 times and it took until our third day to send anyone round. The team managing the home are incompetent. If I were the owner of this house I would be very disappointed by them and looking for a new management company. To name a few of the issues, wobbly bunk beds which we couldn’t let our kids sleep in, tvs that don’t turn on, side lights that don’t work, no dock lights so we couldn’t sit out at night, upstairs deck lights also didn’t work, Dirty pillows, a grill that had completely rusted, not one but five empty gas canisters. To top things off they sent a realtor to show the house without warning us. Just rude. We tried repeatedly to get maintenance to address this but were simply fobbed off each and every time. The house has so much potential but until someone spends some time fixing things it’s not worth renting. Such a shame as the house could be great if someone paid some attention and care to it. They promised to call us back and provide me with an email for management so that I could Complain to them rather than here in the review. I am still waiting. We checked out early.

    We really enjoyed the property. The house was big enough for our family of 10. The canal location was perfect for fishing, crabbing, canoeing in the water. Only a short drive to the beach. The neighborhood was having water issues and a few times we had very little water pressure or no water at all. That was very inconvenient. The kitchen was very unorganized. Plates, cups, dishes randomly placed wherever. This made it difficult to find what you needed. They only provided one hand towel for the kitchen, so we bought our own. The kids lower level and not connected to the upper level with an interior staircase. This wasn’t an issue for our kids, but it would be a problem with younger kids. Over all, a great house, great location and we would definitely stay there again.

    Overall the stay was very nice and we would probably stay again. The pictures are a little deceiving as they make the place look larger that it really is. The location was very good too. We really like the community pool. I was a little surprised at the condition of the bbq grill. We wouldn't even try to light it. The burners were all rusted through. Good thing we brought our charcoal grill. There had been some repairs to the upper deck which was good but there were all sorts of loose nails all over the place and some stuck in between the decking. Really bad with small children playing. The refrigerator is really nice but needs some adjustments. It froze some of our drinks and the freezer did not freeze or keep frozen some of our items. Some of the fan remotes did not work and we had to go buy batteries. Some of the TV remotes needed batteries too. We were very good about picking up our dogs poop but whoever was there before us left plenty in the yard. Also, some of the railing needs to be looked at. There are several slats that are loose both upstairs and downstairs. We had to use pliers to turn on the outside shower because there is not a knob. I almost feel that the owners don't visit much and rely on the management company to keep up with repairs and such and a lot is overlooked so they can just keep it rented.

    We spent 3 nights at this property. We had a total of 12 people in our group and felt that we had plenty of room. The kids loved fishing off the dock and actually caught quite a few fishes (that we released back to the water). We brought an inflatable kayak and they paddled around the canal. The house was well equipped. We bought boogie boards and sand toys, just to find they had some at the house in the large box downstairs. It was one of the most relaxing trips we've taken. Sitting on the decks with the gulf breezes is just what we needed. The canal was very peaceful. The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood, on the canal for calm water and a quick drive through the community to get to the beach. FYI..The bunk room and the room with two twin beds are located downstairs with no inside access to the upstairs, which was fine for us because we had some older kids, but if you have a lot of littles you might not want to be separated that way. It does have it's own bathroom with shower downstairs for those rooms, so it worked well for us. Also bring some extra toilet paper, we were starting to run out the last day.. We would definitely stay again.

    Do agree with some of the previous reviews commenting on the kitchen pots and pans; could use a bit of an upgrade. Overall the house is great! We will definitely stay there again.
