Plenty of room & beds for everyone with room for more if needed. Lots of open living areas for entertaining all of the guests. Our only complaints were not enough pots for cooking and the back bathroom on the left wing was very dirty. The shower & tub need a deep cleaning to remove the mildew. The carpet was also stained but we were not too concerned about that. Overall, the home is amazing! We would definitely stay here again if we ever need something for a large group. Amazing place & property!! ##### shanna a. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cailyn B. 20 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Its a shame Its a shame this house could be so so beautiful. We rented this house for the 3 days before our wedding on a cruise. It was supposed to be a nice place to relax, cook and hang out in the pool. We had all of our friends and family coming. The floors were so disgusting, stains all over the carpets, there was trash left in all of the trashcans, dust left everywhere, dead bugs all over the floors. The pools pump does not work so.it was more like a pond than a pool. The hot tub does not get hot and the water in it was only about a foot high. The door handles were falling off the back doors outside and non of the back doors actually locked. I was told maintenance would be out to fix this, and they never came. I contacted management and they had someone come out and reclean but they only wiped up the tile floors and took the trash out. The pool company came the next day to clean it but there wasnt much they could do because the owner apparently does not want to replace the broken pump in the pool. The landscaping was not at all what was pictured and there are vines growing over the front door and into the crqcks of the front door. We were extremely disappointed and scammed for what we paid for this house. I absolutely would not recommend staying here. I was so embarrassed to have my friends and family come stay. This house is a health issue. I COULD GO ON AND ON. ##### Cailyn B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Amanda S. 10 Oct 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Book with caution This property is in fact large but the description is misleading. Is not 7 bedrooms. It is 3 bedrooms with other rooms like closets turned to bedrooms. The “bedroom” that connects to the master has a door behind the tv that can be opened and can see straight into the master. Lack of privacy. The carpet, the carpet, the carpet… stained! Everywhere. No one walked around without shoes as the floor was that dirty. There were dead bugs along the baseboards throughout the house. Mosquitoes are TERRIBLE. I recommend a lot of off. We could not enjoy the outdoors at all even by the pool. While there a ceiling fan fell and landed on the couch, luckily no one was hit. We notified the property manager and they promptly respond however this was my wedding weekend and we asked for maintenance not to enter as we were out and had guests coming. They sent maintenance anyway. There was someone there that every day for the 3 days we were there. It was so inconvenient. The fridge was also broken. This is a nice house and a nice property but I would never book again or recommend. As much as we paid you would think the property manager would put forth a little more effort such as having the curtains on the rod and not hanging off. If you book do it with caution. ##### Amanda S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leigh F. 22 Mar 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Read all the reviews thoroughly I had reservations about this house but it fit the needs for our family. The biggest plus about staying here is it is very large & perfect for everyone to have their space. Here's what needs attention: It seems as if the house hadn't been cleaned shortly before our visit. Nothing smelled fresh. There was a pile up of old leaves in several places on the back porch.The patio furniture looked dirty & not at all inviting. A place as large as this should have a very nice grill. Instead, it was a charcoal grill that was small & filthy. The pool table was a nice addition, however, it's surface was worn & dirty. The kitchen isn't stocked so be prepared to bring your own seasonings, foil, storage bags, etc. Despite being on overnight, the pool never was warm enough to swim in. The jacuzzi is not heated at all. I read a few comments about the dirty carpet from a couple of years ago but it seems no attention was given to it. The master bedroom carpet is disgusting with stains & not something you will want to walk on without shoes. We had an issue with the master shower backing up & did get the management company to send someone out. However, I found it odd they would not give us a phone number to speak with them (about the shower & pool) instead only communicating through email. Lighting in the backyard is sparse so we didn't use the firepit because it was extremely dark.There aren't many houses that provide this much room but given the money you will spend, go in with eyes wide open. ##### Leigh F. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roshelle W. 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Senior Trip This property was perfect for our group of 12 graduated seniors (17 total people). The ability to stay together in a 1.6 million house that met all of our needs was priceless. They swimming pool and the fire pit were popular hang out spots for the group. The patio furniture is really nice and sturdy. The kitchen is huge. Huge. We enjoyed the large refrigerator and the ice machine in the bar area. Our group was just able to fit around the large dining room table with additional chairs pulled up. These moments were my favorite of the whole trip. The beds were comfy and the extras were nice too: the pool table, ping pong table, the video game, all the smart TVs. There has been some wear and tear on the house from previous guests, but that's to be expected, I'm sure-- nothing that changed our attitude about our stay. Items to remember, as with all vacation rentals, if you want more towels, bring them: bath, pool, kitchen, dish rags, hand towels, etc. And one peculiar note about the kitchen: there are at least 5 colanders but 0 storage bowls or mixing bowls. If you're planning on a lot of scratch cooking, bring bowls. Overall, we loved this place. We would definitely return given the chance. ##### Roshelle W.

Brush is full of fire ants that carry over into yard. Also snakes in brush! Hot tub and waterfall not working. Carpets are filthy. Minimal amount of amenities. Half of kitchen appliances did not work. Disappointed for the amount of money spent. ##### jane m.

It’s an amazing property. The property managers are easy to communicate with and we’re quick to respond to messages. The house was lacking in hospitality amenities none of the bathrooms had the TP holder not a big deal but odd, we had a large group and they knew we’d be using all of the beds, including the fold out beds, but they did not provide any extra bedding for the fold out beds, nor were there any extra blankets and the comforters were basically like decorative sheets, and it was very cold. They did not have pool towels, so there were not enough towels to be in the pool and shower without having to do laundry each time. The pool was very warm and heated, but the hot tub was ice cold. It did not supply basic amenities that we are used to being provided in most properties. If you’re looking for a large property for a large amount of people, especially teams with teenagers this house is great just expect to have to bring your own things for your stay. ##### Erica W.

Huge home with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Great kid room with ping pong, foozball and a video game. Amazing master suite and bathroom. We had a few problems with a toilet and dishwasher when we arrived but the VRBO representative sent a team out immediately and even installed a new dishwasher. Great place. Highly recommend! ##### Wendy D.

Plenty of room to gather in the different places on site.Negatives: The place is missing a bedroom! There are not 7 rooms, only 6. One room is shown twice but from a different angle (the master). The pull out couch in the library has a leaky air mattress under the couch but not no way to inflate it.Kitchen: One oven doesn't close and is functionally non operative. Dishwasher doesn't work.Hot tub doesn't work and judging by other reviews, repairs have not been made for a long time.Game room wasn't used as most of the stuff was missing pieces or not working. Kitchen supplies are minuscule as are bathroom supplies.And as stated in other reviews, the place is dirty, especially the carpets. If you are a clean freak, you might want to keep looking.The aggravating thing, other than the missing bedroom (which was a real negative) is that this place has so much potential to be a fantastic listing for VRBO. But as it stands, I may look at other platforms when booking my next rental. ##### Patrick K.

Home and settings is beautiful, however the upkeep and maintenance has a lot to be desired. The pool was dirty upon our arrival and the pool heater wa not on. The maintenance man did respond and fixed the problem. Floors were dirty, carpet was stained. wwaswasstained stastastained stdstained ##### Chris M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dora E. 5 Nov 2024 Liked: Communication, location #### Beautiful site but needs updates This property is very private and the house is amazingly spacious. The house is in need of updates. Carpets were dirty/stained. Door locks are antiquated (not in a good way). We had major trouble unlocking and locking the front door (but the manager was quick to help us). The pool was cloudy and the hot tub didn't heat up (ok since in Oct). We found less individual sleeping areas than we had expected, it is mostly bunking/ group set ups. There is 2 masters with kings & 4 other bdrms with multiple beds (one upstairs w/out proper AC). Also, less bathrooms than we understood (3.5). The main master bath needs a door for privacy while showering. We could tell the house was definitely majestic in it's time and agree that it could be again. Bunking and sharing would definitely be different if this was for my family. As can be with B&Bs, it was a little challenging for a work group /conference, but thankfully we made it work with a group of like minded women. ##### Dora E.
