    The positives Beautiful spot on the rainbow river, the house was large and spacious for a big group. The house was overall very clean with minor exceptions like cob webs. No issues with bugs. We enjoyed using the rafts left at the property and appreciated having a blower and vacuum to get rid of the sand that gets tracked in. The negatives- the check in the day of was not clear. Online said one thing but I received a call the day of asking what time I was arriving so the caregiver could meet me. Only issue was I was not the first one arriving in our group so had to try to Coordinate between the two last minute. The biggest negative was a series of unusual things that happened in the house that everyone in our group left earlier than planned. Started with Lights turning on in the middle of the night, doors opening, hearing someone scream in the house, the final night was someone knocking on the door at midnight with no one there. Many in our group do not believe in paranormal activity and thought there was a squatter in the house but whatever/whoever it was, was enough to scare us. The caregiver did watch the house and came over to see why we were leaving early I expressed our experience and he said he’d never heard anyone complain of that before.

    Fantastic location! Large home with lots of extra space. Easily accomodates 14 people. Absolutely gorgeous spot on the river! Not a modern house, but we did not expect it to be, nor did we care. However, the house is not clean. Odd little crusty pill-like residue in the kitchen cabinets, ceiling fans with 10 years of dust on them, lots of mold...needs to be cleaned better! This was the only downside to our stay. Still, highly recommend if you have a large group and want to have fun!

    We had family members from age 4 to 74. We were all comfortable in the house. We spent most of our time on the dock or in the river. Beautiful location. The house was clean and spacious everything we needed for a family retreat over spring break!

    Overall, the property met our needs well. We rented this house and the one next door but we all hung out here most of the time. The home is dated and was a bit musty but all the rooms are very spacious with big closets (great infant sleeping room!). Most beds were comfortable (upstairs King was hard and squeaky). The living/dining area really held a lot of people well. Long tables made our Thanksgiving gathering fun. The owner lived next door and was VERY helpful and responsive. The view of the river was WONDERFUL! It's not fancy or updated but for our family gathering on a budget, it was great.

    We loved our trip to rainbow. We would swim, kayak and watch wildlife every day. The property manager is very helpful, and the price is unbeatable for the location. The home is outdated so keep your expectations in check, but it more than makes up for it with location, space and price. It also is well stocked with everything you need for a great trip.

    Great location! Right on the river & plenty of room. Can easily snorkel or paddelboard to KP Hole for a good trip. Property is a little older but everything worked well. Kitchen well stocked. Great porch for hanging out and viewing the river. Nice swimming right at the property.

    Unfortunately this property was not properly represented. We came with a group of people ages 12-60 and upon arrival the beds were broken, there was black mold in the bathrooms, nothing has been cleaned, mysterious red marks on the walls, not to mention none of the windows locked and the locks to the doors were broken. There is a care taker to the property that did come go check and see if everything was ok, but he did so at 12am. While I had young girls with me, and instead of calling first, he stood on the back porch and seemed to be watching the young girls through the windows. Needless to say after a short encounter with him, we needed up moving to a hotel when he informed us that he was going to be coming in and out of the house to do maintenance work, and could not tell us what time. We felt extremely uncomfortable, and decided this was not the right property for us. The river is very beautiful and in the owners defense it sounds like they do not live near by and rely on the caretaker to maintain everything. After an awful experience with vrbo customer service, we were able to speak with him ans he granted us a refund. I think the house and property could be nice, just needs some major work, and the caretaker needs a understanding of approaching renters at reasonable hours, appropriate behavior towards women and children, and how to deep clean.
