Great Family Fun
Owner Mark and his wife Joyce are super friendly. They shared with us sights to see and places to eat, such as a delicious carryout restaurant. Mark's detailed orientation for the pontoon boat and jet skis was helpful, and we appreciated that he acted quickly when we encountered a jet-ski issue that was our fault. He is a very patient and kindhearted gentleman. The house is in good condition and has more than enough room to accommodate several adults and children. The kitchen and dining area are quite spacious. The house is located on a peaceful canal from which you can see the lake. The neighbors were friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing lake home!
We had a great time at this wonderful lake home! The lake is beautiful and had very little traffic. There was a ton of space on the water to ride the jet skis and drive the pontoon. We loved that the lake had spots where the depth was less than 4 feet. The huge mat was so much fun when we hooked it up to the back of the boat and the kids just played on it for hours. The canal at the house was about 4.5 feet deep so adults could traverse it easily and kids could swim right off the yard! The house is old but very charming! There were tons of amenities!!! They have really thought of everything. The fact that this house had a boat and two jet skis was the selling point! Mark and Joyce were very thorough I. Their boat and jet ski instructions and house tour. Recommend arriving with plenty of daylight so you have ample time to do the water toy orientation. The street the house is on is quiet and private. The yard was good for spreading out to fish. Had a wonderful stay!!!

We weren't expecting anything fancy. The size of the house and accommodations were adaquate. The main reason we booked this house was for the boats. That really made our gathering fantastic. Our hosts Mark and Joyce were wonderful too. They met us personally when we got there and even helped me unload all my food from the car! They went above and beyond to respond to every need and answer every question. I would book with them again.

Our 10 day vacation was wonderful! This 4 bedroom home is spacious and so very well equipped. All 8 of us were very comfortable. The location on a short canal off of the lake is great with so many watercraft to enjoy the lake and adjoining marshes. The landlords Mark and Joyce could not have been more friendly, attentive and cooperative!

Great Getaway
From renting to checkout, the process was simple. 10 of us stayed here age 7+. Marc and Joyce are absolutely wonderful hosts! They’re very fast at getting back with you. Super knowledgeable about the area. The orientation for the pontoon and jet skis was easy and painless. It definitely got us all more comfortable with the equipment. I only had one issue the whole week with the jet ski (my fault weeds got stuck in the intake) Marc and Joyce was there within 30 minutes to help us solve the issue. House: the location is perfect! You can watch the sunset at the end of the lane and it’s a breathtaking view. The canal was wide enough to easily navigate through with the pontoon, jet skis and our own fishing boat. The house came fully equipped and when I say that, I mean it. They had all the essentials plus some! They provided so much more compared to other rentals we’ve had. Kitchen is very spacious. Plenty of dining room seating. Plenty of couches for family movie night. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of sheets/blankets available. The room with the couch is the warmest room in the house, nothing a fan didn’t fix. The yard is spacious enough for yard games and kids running around. Fishing: The kids (7,8 &9) had a blast outback fishing. We caught so many bluegill and their beds are right in front of the house. On the lake we wasn’t able to catch much. We used wax worms and night crawlers all week. We was able to catch a few bass too. Would highly recommend!

Great place for families
We had such a great time! The house is exactly as advertised in pictures. The best part of renting this home is being able to use the pontoon boat and jet skis. Mark (owner) is very knowledgeable about the lake and gave us several good options of places to check out. The house was perfect for 2 families of 4 with little kids included. The littles all had a great time on their first boat ride. Mark and Joyce were great hosts and we hope to go back sometime. Thanks!

This is a great home for visiting the lake. You get a pontoon boat and jet skis with the rental which is why we rented. They made the trip so fun!! The house was comfortable with great beds, showers and living room. I do think there are a few things that could make everyone’s stay even nicer. Power washing the outside of the house, spraying for spiders and deeper cleaning. Overall we really enjoyed our time there. Thank you for having us!! Mark and Joyce are incredible renters!!!

What a blast!!!!
We had a wonderful time. The owner took well over 2 hours training us in use and safety of the jet skis and the pontoon boat. We have rented boats previously that were well used and showed it. These boats were in very good condition and well maintained. Had the owner not taken that much time with us, this 65 year old novice would not have attempted going on a jet ski for the first time. But this grandma did it and had the time of my life. Now my granddaughters can tell their friends that their grandma is cool. Thank you Mark! The house was large and well stocked with all the thing needed in the kitchen and bath rooms. Just bring your suit and enjoy.

Decent but desperately needed cleaned
The house would have been great had it been cleaned. It wasn't just surface cleaning, it was mold under the faucet in the kitchen, the downstairs bathroom toilet was so gross. The tub fills up with water when you take a shower. Almost every single dish in the cabinet was dirty. Like not "dishwasher didn't get it" dirty, it was like it was used and put away without attempting to clean it. The upstairs is soooo hot that you wake up needing a gallon of waterto drink. While the downstairs stayed cold. It is winter, so the heater really worked well upstairs. I feel they rely on the previous renter to clean and they just make sure the towels and sheets are cleaned. Because the sheets, towels and floors were clean. I did get a resolution in the beginning of our stay when it was mentioned the first few things we noticed. But we left a night early and let the owners know why and all we received was "sorry it was not right for you". I would not recommend this place if you are seeking to stay somewhere clean and that follows COVID regulations for vacation rentals. If the above does not bother you, then this place may be right for you.

Great place to stay for a weekend of fishing.
A few friends and I enjoyed our stay here. The best part was there was plenty of dockage space for our fishing boats and quick access to the lake. It's a no-frills place, but clean and had all the basic amenities you'd expect. That's all we wanted or needed. Mark and Joyce were good hosts. I'd stay there again for sure.

Everything was as expected. Joyce and Mark were very informative and nice. Mark showed the husbands how to run jet ski's and pontoon boat. There was a lot of stuff in the house for everyone to use. we got caught in a rare storm that hit and caused damage to the prop of the pontoon boat, Mark was nice about it and was able to get a new prop that we paid for out of our deposit. Would go back.
