I love that all we had to do was get trash out and start the dish washer! The house and dock are gorgeous and in a nice quiet cove that was great for swimming. We had a squirrel in the house at check in though and the management company didn’t seem too concerned with it to the point that we ourselves had to remove the squirrel when we found it again. The only thing I got from them when notified of something in the house was “we’ll send housekeeping down with clean sheets (it went to the bathroom on a bed) and someone would try to catch it” and once we got it out of the house I was told “thanks for the update and removing it”. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bff76f8d-00a3-46e9-a4f3-ef88e8159cb1-1753144634111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bailey M.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this home over labor day weekend with another family. We had 7 kids between the 2 families. The size of the house and the layout accommodated that perfectly. The kids had their own living space a floor below the adults and their own balconies and bathroom so they could really enjoy and do their thing. I cannot say enough good things about the management company. They were a pleasure to work with and were flexible with making some accommodations for us. They were extremely communicative and really cared about making our experience seamless. The house itself could use a little TLC, especially on the martini deck but we still had a great weekend. We enjoyed the fact that there was ample sofa space in the living area so we could all gather for a movie night as well as seating areas in the kitchen and at the island. We were a 20 min walk from Margaritaville so we spent some time there as well. Overall great weekend. ##### Jenn C. ### 6/10 Okay #### Steve A. 25 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake of the Ozarks family vacation The house size and location worked well for our large group. The cleanliness level of the house was substandard upon arrival, but the rental management firm quickly sent cleaners to spruce it up a bit. The upper floor air conditioner could not keep up with the 100 degree temps we had during our 4 night stay. The lower floor A/C handled it fine. The house simply needs some updating; otherwise it’s a nice location and size for a large family. ##### Steve A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Family trip The place has ample bedrooms and baths which were clean but certainly dated. Two things should be noted in the home. One, the barstools at the breakfast bar are not tall enough to use the counter for dining. There are several areas of interior steps that are dangerous and awkward, certainly not appropriate for young children. Also, the only way down to the water is a very steep spiral staircase. Additionally. The cove is crowded and not appropriate for swimming. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah D. 8 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and plenty of space!

Alot of steps to get in to house, inside house and of course down to the boat dock. Clean and spacious for young to middle age adults. Well stocked. The four seasons property management was amazing! Answered all our questions very quickly, flexible to meet extenuating circumstances to allow my dying MIL an experience on the lake. We had to contact John to see where we were able to park a boat trailer as it was not allowed on property. He quickly assisted. We also brought in a hospital bed and compressor for my terminally ill mother in law. John was very accomodating for this as well and we cannot thank him enough! ##### LaMonica Henrekin This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla Haberkorn 23 Jun 2022 #### We loved our stay at shelter cove!!

The only recommendation I have is to put curtains in the “kids area” downstairs. The members of four seasons property management were great to work with. They were very responsive to any questions I had regarding our stay at shelter cove. ##### Kayla Haberkorn ---
