Beautiful Lake Area Home, Gas Grill - Close to Downtown Florence & Dunes

There was a bit of confusion at arrival as the house number on the mailbox did not match what we were given, and we didn’t immediately figure out the shared driveway situation. We had planned to make pizza the fist night so it was quite a surprise to find out that the oven was not working. Some of the furniture has seen better days including one of of the upstairs beds. Given all that it is a very nice house, much bigger than the photos show. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. And deer and rabbits visit daily.

We stayed for 3 nights. Pros: Location- quiet area, lots of privacy & beautiful views; home had lots of space-we didn't feel like we were on top of each other; big kitchen; plenty of supplies like paper towelsCons: We didn't use the hot tub because it was dirty (which was one of the reasons we chose this VRBO); the oven door was still broken (I had read a prior review that it was broken-apparently they hadn't fixed it yet); gas fireplace didn't work; mattresses were not very comfortable; living room furniture was worn & not as comfortable as it probably was when new; our bedroom floor was obviously not swept; our bathroom shower was missing a shower curtain liner-we had to go buy one. I wish the listing specified that the primary suite of the home is unavailable to renters. They have a sign in the house that asks you to treat the home/act as if you lived there. I wish they maintained it as if they lived there. Overall, I would not book here again.

Beautiful home, very clean with a lot of space.

Overall a very nice house and easy to find. Very peaceful. Beds and furniture were different than when we booked. My daughter was too tall for the beds.The listing made it seem like we would have access to the lake. NO Lake Access from the back. Need to drive to the park and pay to park. Great Communication with the agency. If you need help at all quick response & maintenance showed up on his day off for us. Oh and lots of deer.

The serenity house was perfect for our stay in Florence! Close to the dunes and lake. Della was helpful our first day when we checked in. The house had everything we needed.

The location is without a doubt peaceful and the house is well kept. The address number is wrong as it looks like it got re-numbered. The beds are on broken frames and not comfortable. Only one kitchen garage bag and kitchen appliances should be look at for upgrades. Again peaceful location but needs some TLC.

House was nice property was nice. The neighbor came to the house twice because we had a car parked by the garage to unload and asked us to move it so we did then the husband came back and harrased us. Other than that had a great stay

Main room is bigger than it looks. Bedrooms were differently configured than the listing. Good stay overall, enjoyed it.

The house is in a beautiful setting on the lake. It is very comfortable and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this peaceful place.

Very clean and quiet. Suggestion…stock with more paper towels and cooking ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed the place. Lots of space.

Very nice overall. Neighbor to the south not pleasant. Confronted us with parking in his second driveway before we even had a chance to unload. Has the path to walk down to the lake which is overgrown and understandable but on his property line and does not allow access. Irrigation line by the garage door has a broken sprinkler head so it leaks all over the lower patio. The washing machine seems to have a slight leak after doing a few loads. Did not have enough Dishwashing detergent Some of the cookware needs to be updated and larger variety of kitchen Ware. A little unclear on how we were supposed to leave the house when done. Not Complaining just commenting

It was a great stay.

Big, beautiful home, gorgeous setting on the trees with a sliver of the lake in view. Very comfortable for three couples, though two had to share a bathroom. Listing was misleading in a couple of ways: three full bathrooms were listed, there are 2.5, Listing show pictures of a hot tub (and several reviews mentioned the hot tub, however it was not functional. Lastly, there is no lake access nearby. It looks like there is a path to the lake, but the neighbor’s property line crosses over the path, though the path leads to brambles. All of that said, the house was lovely.
