This beautiful house was the perfect way to spend our last weekend of summer. Perfect location and spacious home! I canât thank the owner (Kristen) enough for all the amenities and communication before and during our stay. Definitely a 5 out of 5 experience. We would book again!
This property was the perfect lake house. Spacious home- room for all. We enjoyed the screened in patio in the morning and enjoyed star gazing each evening in the front yard. The grandkids enjoyed going to the pool at Tanglewood every day. We rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed the sand islands and lake. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had. Would definitely love to return.
House layout was ideal for our family.
However the outside of house could use some attention. A little TLC would improve the aesthetics a great deal. Additionally, patio area could have been tidier. Overall great place with resort access and close to marina and lake. We are already talking about coming back for a weekend trip.
This property is in an excellent location and has so much potential. However, the property seemed to be neglected and it was extremely filthy. We were shocked to find it is such a poor condition but tried our best to over look the cleanliness and other issues yet still enjoy our family time together.
We enjoyed our stay, had plenty of room for family while gathering for Thanksgiving,. They have all amenities you need, the house is large, sure it would be fun in the warmer months as well.
The house is in a great location so close to Tanglewood resort, the marina, island view park (beach) and there is a dollar store just down the road if you need anything or Walmart/town less than 10min away. We have little kids so we enjoyed having the pool and playground at Tanglewood just down the street. The house was very nice, rooms are huge.
There were only a few flaws or issues we had. It was not mentioned and hard to notice in pictures unless you specifically look very closely, but there are stairs in the home that do not have a gate and have wide gaps in the railing, wide enough to be an issue for mobile infants/toddlers. The opening to the stairs is facing one of the bedrooms. The bathtub we would have used for the kids needs resealed. The bottom of the tub has multiple spots that have broken off so it is not useable. There is another tub but it is a jetted tub and not easy to bathe children in. Also, the enclosed porch area was not very clean. Could not let the baby go out there. There was a small grassy patch in the front of the house. The picture shown on the listing makes it look much bigger than it is. Itâs too small for the kids to play as it is just a few steps wide then you are in the road.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location but maybe not for people with infants and young toddlers until some of those issues are addressed.
Property owner was very pleasant. We had an issue upon arrival with one of the AC units. Kristen was very responsive and had someone on site within a couple of hours. The home has a lot of charm, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils etc, the outdoor patio is a real treat in the morning. The lake is only about a mile away, you have access to the Tanglewood resort and the Highport Marina was easy to navigate to out in our boat. We had a great time during our short stay.
Great few days away with our adult children and grandkids! Families will enjoy the close proximity to the pool, marina and lake. The house offered plenty of room for both privacy and space for kiddos to spread out. There was plenty of plates, utensils, pots, pans and necessary essentials. A complete game cabinet and sâmores for the kids was a great touch! House and patios may be due for a little cleaning, but overall everything was neat and tidy. Good vacation! Thanks Kristen !
The living space was perfect, lots of space and everything we could have needed. Location was perfect, space for the boats and access to the resort pool.
Kids favorites: The blankets were so soft and fluffy. The coffee bar fridge kept the sodas really cold. The resort pool was awesome!
The screened in back porch is the perfect place to watch the sun set! Beds were all comfy. And the master bath is heaven!!
They had many things that could be used for meals in the kitchen, coffee bar was wonderful. Very comfortable and well thought out for visitors down to games and books.
All around, the place felt like a much upgraded home. All the comforts plus some. Tons of space so we didn't get in each other's way and beautiful on top of it all. We saw hummingbirds in the morning, fireflies in the evening. A great vacation spot for sure!!
This is an older, updated home. Has great features and ample space. Very nice furnishings, etc. And super close to Highport marina as well as Tanglewood resort access. We enjoyed our stay very much !
This house was the perfect set up
for our kiddos & couples. Plenty of room. Plenty of bathrooms. Short walk to the lake and access to the resort. We had an awesome stay.
We enjoyed the ability to spend the weekend with our friends in a great entertaining house. The house is a short walk to the amenities and Marina. Restaurants close walk or short drive!
Look out Tower was a good spot to see the spaciousness of the lake.
*Needs updated a bit; great shower in the main bathroom; spacious back porch screened in is a plus, but needs a clean up; a bit dusty. Make sure frozen side of fridge is empty for next guest. Update towels and wash cloths. Light a candle. đ
Thanks for being a VRBO LISTING!
We purchased this home because it's a great place for all of us to meet up and relax. My parents had a timeshare several years ago at the Tanglewood Resort and we enjoyed the area with all the activities yet a slower pace feel that makes it easy to relax.
The screened in back porch is my favorite part of the home. It's easy to enjoy being "outdoors" while in the shade, protected from bugs and just a few steps from the kitchen!
