Easy check in. The house was very large and it was just two of us. If there was a big family, this would be great. It was clean, comfortable and modern.The house was on a large pond that lead to the river. It wasn’t directly on the river nut accessible by kayak. Two decks on the pond where we spotted a large alligator sunning himself. No swimming here!All in all, we would stay here again. Only suggestion is maybe some more outside furniture as it is nice to utilize the decks.

Kitchens were very spacious, the bar downstairs was very useful!! Laundry room was absolutely a great option especially for the big family of wet clothes from being on the River!!! The bed rooms was set up perfectly to accommodate everyone!!! The only thing that I would recommend is another a/c unit down stairs. It stayed pretty warm through out the stay.

Our family of 8 had plenty of room to spread out and enjoyed our stay on the river. The house was clean and well stocked with small touches like travel size shampoo/conditioner/lotion/body wash; small size laundry detergent and dishwasher tabs. Ways to improve: pot holders, baking pans, a Keurig, patio furniture on the upper deck and a small library to read one/ take one. We didn’t have time to use the grill but it looked more than adequate. We were able to bring the pontoon boat to the dock behind the house…the cut coming into the small basin from the river is shallow but usable. KP hole boat ramp is where we launched. The digital front door lock was a challenge, instructions such as “you will hear a tone each time you enter a number” or “enter code and wait three seconds before opening door” would go a long way. Overall, I have zero complaints!

We had some issues and the property manager Rich was very nice and did respond and resolve the major issues. The reason I’m giving the house a 3 star is because we did have those issues and we had some additional issues we handled ourselves which should have been handled prior to the stay. Examples Batteries in the remotes or have some on hand to replace, light bulb were out throughout the house with no replacements, trash bags available to use for the stay(the house only had 2 bags for a week stay for 10 people), parking there was a little pad but you had to have a small car to fit on that. However if you have trucks you will be lucky to fit 2 in the yard area as they will not fit on the pad without sticking out into the road, the canal heading to the main river is very grown up and shallow. It is very difficult to access main river with sup boards and pontoon boats. We are experienced boaters and it was a challenge to navigate the boat into the canal without hitting stumps. It can be done just not as easy as it was made it out to be. We did take the kayak out of the cove and a larger alligator smacked the front of the kayak pretty hard in that cove. So sup boards it could be a question move to take out of that cove. The house is very spacious but the a/c downstairs is very lacking for the Florida heat. Upstairs cools just fine. You will need to make sure you have a large fan if you are one for a cooler stay (75 degrees or cooler). They have one fan downstairs.
