We had a very quiet and relaxing weekend. More than enough cooking utensils and even sharp knives.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
This home enjoys a private lot in an excellent location. The well-maintained outdoor space, including the dock and stunning back porch views, was a highlight of our stay. However, we rated the property three stars due to its outdated interior and poorly maintained amenities. The master bathroom sink had no water, the bed mattress was old, stained, and uncomfortable, and the kitchen pots and pans were in poor condition. Additionally, the front burner on the stove was nonfunctional, and the gas grill was difficult to light, failing to sustain a flame for more than 60 seconds. We also discovered thick black mold on the washing machine’s door seal, accompanied by a foul odor. While we managed to clean enough to use the machine, it was an unpleasant task during a vacation. On a positive note, when we lost power midweek, the property management company was highly responsive, keeping us updated with Duke Energy’s progress.
