My family and I stayed at South County Poolside Hangout for our son's graduation from the Naval Academy. The home is very clean, in a nice location, the beds are comfortable, the appliances all worked well, and the home had lots of extra items that we could use that we didn't know we would need like a steaming iron, and a flower vase. The only thing I think we couldn't find that we needed were scissors. I agree with the other reviewer that the pictures do not do this house justice. It is very pretty. The weather was not suitable for swimming during our stay, but the pool was cleaned for us and ready to go if we had wanted to use it. I recommend this home for families.

First off I want to say the house was absolutely beautiful. The pictures does it no Justice. The house was very clean, and well equipped with everything you can think you’ll possibly need. The beds are comfortable, the area is nice, and the land is beautiful. Carolyn was very, very responsive. Everything I messaged her about she responded right back. The only down fall was that I booked the home mainly for the pool, but the pool was dirty due to a storm prior to my stay. Carolyn tried to get someone out to clean it but was unsuccessful due to it being the weekend. I absolutely loved her communication and she was very nice. My family and I will book again soon.
