Our family really enjoyed our stay. House was as described, very clean and was perfect for us. It was so nice to have a boat ramp on the property along with a boat slip and the Jordan River and Bay is just a short 5 min boat ride away!! Brittnie, is a awesome host. We will definitely be back again soon!

Beautiful & Relaxing

This home was absolutely gorgeous! I loved the big closet and bath in the master. My husband Ann brother really enjoyed fishing. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors were friendly. We really loved that the home included a luggage elevator. The kitchen/living room area was spacious & perfect for a big family. We were all able to fit around the table and play cards.

Quiet, Serene Location

House was as described and location was mainly quiet except for one neighbor doing construction every day at 8am. It would have been 5/5 perfect if a few more amenities had been provided. For example, there was a coffee maker and filters but no coffee. There were bath towels but no dish towels. But overall, it was a pleasant stay that worked well for our group and budget. Would recommend.

Great place lots of potential

You have a great place that with a little bit of effort and some attention to detail could be absolutely amazing. The appliances are a cooks dream, the dinnerware should be upgraded to complement them. A couple of past reviews mentioned towels, plastic plates, and the grill being an issue, the comments stated these were addressed, it doesn’t appear they were. The grill was absolutely unusable, rusted, dirty, and out of propane.Beautiful dock on canal, make sure to bring your bug spray!Aside from these details we enjoyed our vacation.

Weekend getaway

This is a nice home but the owners just need to upgrade a little. A vrbo home should have the necessitys that a home should have upon arrival. We has to go out and buy towels because there was only enough for 4 people and we had 6. We also had to buy pots and pans because there was only 1 skillet with rust stains, 2 small pots, 1rusty bread pan, and plastic plates. They had plenty of silverware which i thought was odd being that we had hard plastic to eat off of. There was personal items left behind in the master bedroom. While cooking breakfast one morning the stove went on the fritz making a beeping noise for about 3 hours. Someone came out to fix the stove which by then was too late to enjoy our breakfast. The barbque grill was in need of cleaning as well. Some of these things only take a litte time to correct if you want a successful rental property.
