We always enjoy returning to Elbow Cay for our annual trip with the kids.
We decided to go to the Lake of the Ozarks area on a whim and we were not disappointed. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for the family. Plenty of things to do in the area without the congestion that comes with beach areas. No one wanted to leave they had enjoyed the stay so much. Great family vacation !
Very nice property with all the amenities. Located in popular part of Lake of the Ozarks. The sunsets from the back deck were some of the most beautiful we have ever seen.
The home is excellent for a family stay. It is in an accessible location on the lake and provided great views. The Tan Tar A estate access to pools including Margaritaville was an unexpected surprise.
The property was not clean or well maintained. The furniture looked like it came from garage sales. The outdoor furniture was broken and a lot of it unusable. The house itself needed a good cleaning and maintenance. The first day there the shower doors in the upstairs bathroom fell out. I had to catch them to keep them from hitting the floor and me. The clip that keeps them in track was missing. Then the oven stopped working. We had to have maintenance out twice to get it to work. The rug in my sonâs bedroom had shredded near the door leaving the tack strip exposed. My son stepped on it and punctured his foot. All and all I wouldnât recommend this place unless they cleaned better, repaired the rug, replaced the outdoor furniture. Also, part of the cement cook was broken out leaving the rebar exposed. A small child could get injured if they accidentally stepped there. The grounds werenât taken care of, just weeds with a few plants.
John went above and beyond as a property manager! Great location! Was short on basics such as paper towels, toilet paper, kitchen towels etc Not as clean as I would prefer! Difficult to use lounge chairs on dock as all tied together!
This house is on a perfect spot on the lake with beautiful, unobstructed, wide open views from the house as well as the dock. Nice large swimming area off the dock. The main floor was nicely updated with vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan, hardwood floors and a beautiful master bedroom. The second floor had two large bedrooms. It was nice that those bedrooms also had their own bathrooms, but those rooms were somewhat dark and damp...would recommend replacing the carpets.
Nice property but donât stay on holiday weekends. Housing is so tight the loud partying neighbors & their music prevent peaceful sleep & the 11 PM to 7 AM quiet ordnance is not enforced!
We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at this cabin over Thanksgiving. The hot tub on the balcony over looking the lake was amazing, especially with the fall foliage. Our kids loved having the bigger beds, not to mention their own rooms with private balconies. The house was spacious and well stocked. I noticed some reviews mentioned cleanliness being an issue, I did see what they were talking about but they were very minor things. Upon entering the cabin, there are leaves on the floor and we did notice some cobwebs but we live in the Ozarks so we are use to this. Other than that the house was clean with fresh linens and all surfaces were clean including the hot tub which had chlorine tabs in it. Over all, we will definitely be back and really enjoyed our stay. We would love to come back next Thanksgiving if we can afford it.
It was great! Thanks for all your help! Loved the hot tub and the view! Two great things! Thank you
It was great! Thanks for all your help! Loved the hot tub and the view! Two great things! Thank you for all your help in finding the right accommodations to fit our needs. We were worried we would not be able to find a place for the four of us to stay, while we were at our conference. This was perfect for what we needed. It was close to the conference center. It worked out well for all of us.
Spent a week with our family of ten (6 adults + 4 kids - ages 1, 3, 7, 10). We arrived and entered as instructed. The first impression was that the place is a bit dated, and it could stand to be updated. Formica countertop in the kitchen and some upscaled painting is needed. We did a quick inventory (we arrived early) then headed to Walmart for cleaning supplies. It really really needed a deep cleaning. We cut them some slack because a group had just left but it seemed doubtful that the place ever got a pre-season deep clean due to the dust/debris inside cabinets and closets. It was doable but should have been taken care of. Several light bulbs were out but the mgr. quickly had a full box of bulbs for me to replace. The dock was nice but the jetski lift did not function which meant we had to tie it up alongside the dock which was bucked all day long with huge waves.
Lake of the Ozarks is huge and full of boats; and not just any ol' boat. These are ocean racers and huge yachts that throw up tremendous wakes. It is constant from about 9 am until sundown. It does make for some fun swimming!
Our only snafu of concern was the washing machine. We brought limited clothing since we had a washer/dryer unit but these went down on day two. The mgr. had replacement towels for us but we had to make do or go to a laundrymat for washing which was not on our agenda for the week. But we had little tykes who needed clean clothes so....
The grill worked great and we enjoyed sitting dockside or on the deck enjoying the fabulous sunsets. We cooked breakfasts in the house and all worked reasonably well. We rented a jetski and a pontoon boat which were both a hit with the kids. The beds were comfy and each family unit had their own shower/bath which was very nice.
Positive: great location, kitchen was nice, bath/bedrooms fine, fantastic views, dock great, decks nice, tv in every room
Negative: not clean as should have been, broken jetski ramp, broken clothes washing machine
I would give them a B+ for effort - this was one of the busiest times of the year so I cut them quite a bit of slack, but housekeeping needs to up their game.
Property well maintained and clean. Great view of the lake and the dock was extra special. Boys got to fish and swim right out the back door. John personally came by with a colleague to quickly address a minor issue - ended up delivering a new TV and an air mattress. Complete courtesy and just an amazing person.
Your properties are just like being in a home . We have stayed many times and will continue to. Pleasure working with John. Itâs a little piece of paradise. John was very accommodating. He is always a gem to work with . Very helpful.
Overall we had a great time. The kids caught lots of fish and got to enjoy one of the pools. It's perfect for our extended family vacations.
Thanks for another restful, enjoyable stay! John and Jennifer were helpful and responded to our needs quickly. FSPM is reliably good.
Very nice home. The hot tub and view were amazing. Loved the neighborhood and winding roads. I was told the wrong gate code which was annoying but fixed easily. Also, some lights did not work in the house. Light bulbs were out. Also, one wall of power did not work and I had to reset a blown fuse.
We picked an unusual time to rent a lakehouse in February, but we wanted a quick get away. The view of the lake was beautiful in and outside the house. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub soaking up the lake views. The house was stocked with all the necessities. The owners were flexible with our dates since there was a big snowstorm on the day we were supposed to check in. This was our first time to Lake of the Ozarks, but we would definitely rent this house again in the Summer time.
