Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott B. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, spacious home with pool on canal The property was great: clean, spacious, all the basic amenities. My only complaint is after all fees, the nightly rate was 1,000 which is very high in my opinion, especially since the house is canal-front, not lakefront and in a very rural area, far from decent restaurants, nightlife and shopping (for evenings and rainy days). ##### Scott B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendra H. 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Summer Getaway ☀️ We had an absolutely amazing stay at this VRBO on Lake Santa Fe's canal! The property is stunning, with plenty of space for our entire group to spread out and relax. The pool was a definite highlight. The home was well-equipped and immaculately clean. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway spot and will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way! ##### Kendra H.
