Everything about the property was first rate. The Meridian Beach community was very welcoming and we enjoyed launching our own kayaks into the canal and paddling out onto the lake. The enclosed yard was a bonus to allow our two dogs to run and play and the fire pit in the yard was wonderful for relaxing after fun filled days. Thanks very much to Rocque for his hospitality! ##### Esther R.

Roc is a great host! Communication was second to none. The cleaning staff were one hour over our due date and he messaged me right away but wasn’t an issue as we were an hour late arriving. We also couldn’t find the cookie sheet to cook fries and he answered my message within an hour and said he’d bring pans soon but suggested we look in another cupboard and we found them. He also brought two new cookie sheets the next morning ! The cottage was amazing and everyone loved the views and property. Roasting s’mores by the fire with family is an amazing experience. The Halloween celebrations were amazing and the whole family loved the festivities. The host also informed us of the event week ahead of time so we could prepare. Will definitely be back! Thanks again Roc for doing an amazing job! ##### chris d.
