Kitchen needed more regular silverware. Also better selection of large cooking pot & pans is needed. Wooden decks badly need reconditioning. Front steps railing is too loose.
Generally a nice house. However a few things need attention. 1. Railings outside and inside for stairways are very loose and unsafe. 2. Towels are sparse and poor quality as are bathroom products, there were no blankets or extra pillows and sheets are also poor quality. 3. Outdoor cushions should be left to renters discretion on temp to use. 4. Not enough seating for over five people in any room making it not a great house for gatherings. Chairs able to be moved are not comfortable. Plenty of room for more comfortable seating. Big drawback to a house that sleeps 12. 5. Way way too many rules, reminders and signs. We are on vacation and felt like we were going to make a misstep when we were supposed to be relaxing. This is not necessary.
The house was beautiful, clean and spacious. Property owner is very accommodating, allows you your privacy while renting. The location is great. The amenities in the house where just as described on the site and is perfect for a raining day as we had over the weekend. Ping pong, pool table, basket ball game, fire pit, hot tub all well maintained and a lot of fun. I would definitely be staying here again in the future!! Thank you again Monica, we had a great time!
Nice house in great location. We had a great time!
It was an incredible experience we had a great time I like everything very relaxing the house for me was my ideal house my children loved it they relaxed a lot we love the house
It was perfect. We had 5 adults, 5 kids and it was so accommodating. The house and property are beautiful!
The property was as shown and described. Wonderful amenities and a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed fishing, the beach access at the lakes and both pools. Went to water park one day at Camelback. It was fantastic. Monica is a wonderful hostess and checked in several times to see if we needed anything and how things were going. Highly recommend this property. Lots to do close by and the backyard, fire pit, hot tub and grill were all fantastic!
We rented this home to celebrate a friends birthday and we were extremely satisfied! The home is spacious and offers several rooms/bathrooms, a hot tub, and is located near several excursions. The host is easy to communicate with and offered a clean home with convenient toiletries. Highly recommend for both short term and long term stay.
We enjoyed our stay. Two families of four. The house had the perfect layout for us. The teen and tween stayed in the two basement bedrooms with a shared bathroom and game room. The adults stayed in the two queen bedrooms upstairs with the little ones in the twin bed bedrooms. The house was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. Location was very close to Camelback. Check in and out was easy. We all LOVED all the games (basketball, foosball, ping pong, board games). There was plenty to do. Monica was very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is supplying extra pillows or pillow cases and top sheets. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I’m very picky about the places I stay and I would stay here again.
The house was nothing short of amazing. It had all the information we needed about the house, the location was amazing and the host was great!
Our stay was nice, but there were too many rules, to the point of giving me anxiety. The host was over the top with communication. If you like that, then it’s great. But for me, I prefer to be left alone while on vacation.
We had a great time staying here and Monica was very nice and responsive! Everything was just as described on the listing!
We stayed here with another family. Monica was very easy to work with and very communicative. The house was clean, had everything we needed, and close to many fun activities for the kids! Thank you
My family and I really enjoyed our week-long stay in this home! It is a great home for family gathering, worked well for our family of 10, including 2 small children. Community amenities were very convenient and fun! Monica was responsive and helpful with any and all questions :)
Our host, Monica was extremely responsive and thoughtful. The house was immaculately clean and just as advertised in the listing. Would certainly recommend.
We stayed for two nights with 3 little kids. The property is in great condition. The kitchen is equipped with everything we need. We enjoyed wood fire pit a lot!
