    The property itself needs some TLC. It’s not a bad place to stay but doesn’t appear it’s been updated or kept up on. Both bolts had fallen out of one of the beds causing the headboard to hit the wall anytime you moved. The bracket for one of the blinds was missing a piece so when you tried to adjust it the entire thing fell. The deck next to the water was overgrown causing it to be very difficult to walk on it.

    The home was very clean. The host was very welcoming and the house had everything we could have needed. Plenty of dishes and pots and pans. There is a brand new nice deck on the back over looking the canal. Thank you for opening your home.

    Everything about this property was amazing. We could not have asked for an easier check-in/out process and the property was just as described. We enjoyed the view from the deck every morning and night and even played a couple of games provided by the owners. I would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy a little getaway with the family as it is very close to the amusement park, drive-in theater, and so many great restaurants.

    Leak in toilet, damp towels put away in cabinet. Damp/wet towels left in washer. Lots of ants in kitchen. Had to leave a day early due to family illness. Host offered a partial refund which was nice, I did not request it.Not sure how this property got a premier status. I have had the pleasure of staying at several VRBO properties. My one and only disappointment

    Used the location due to the proximity to Jasper Pulaski Sandhill Crane Observation Tower. Accommodations were great. Clean and they take pets! Would definitely use again should the need arise!

    This property has hosted our family of 4 for three summers in a row & we will keep coming back! The home is in excellent condition & has everything that we need to be comfortable. It is in close proximity to all of our favorite area activities while having a secluded & relaxing setting. 5 stars for good reason!

    Walking into this place it looked great. It was clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The ice maker in the fridge was nice to have. However the house needs fixed up in some areas. In the bathroom the flooring is buckling near the tub, which could be a fall risk with wet feet. The dryer did not dry, so we had to pack wet clothes and bring them home. The curtain brackets were loose and seemed like they were about to fall out of the wall while we adjusted the curtains. The legs of the glass coffee table were wiggly. Traveling with two kids 2 and under, I was worried the legs were going to break everytime they bumped into the coffee table. Overall, this house provided us with a comfortable place to sleep, and a kitchen to cook in, but I would not stay again.
