This is a great house with everything you need in a great location. The only thing I would add are some curtains/ blinds for a little more privacy! Loved our Stay!❤️

Comfortable, but lacking amenities

The home was clean and comfortable with a wonderful view. If we come back, we’ll need to remember to bring hand soap, sponges, and trash bags. We were disappointed in the lack of amenities, but we only stayed the weekend so it was a minor inconvenience. The dogs loved the backyard and the kayaks were great. A couple cute cafe options nearby. I’d recommend this location for sure.

TERRIBLE

7am mowers and blowers in our yard in a community with quiet hours NOT enforced. Inspector knocking on door because dock was unusable/disrepair so estimate was needed!!!! The ENTIRE reason for booking this house was fishing!!!!!!!! We had to wash and put away someone elses dishes!!!!!!! It was not clean and neighbor is a real KAREN. Don't book here!

Refreshing Short 3 Day Vacation

Loved the property. It was a great place for a short three day break from reality. Yucky weather but the location made it a peaceful get away. We will def use this service for our next trip. The process was easy from beginning to end. It was mindless for my busy schedule. Thank you

Great stay, cute house

We enjoyed our stay. The house was relatively clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The dock was unusable but that was communicated to us prior to our arrival. The only issues we encountered were there wasn’t a lot of clothing storage (one bedroom had a closet but no dresser and the other bedroom had a dresser but no closet) and we really wished there were blinds/ window coverings. The neighbors new homes are very close (not pictured in the listing) and we felt like we were on display. Taking all of that into consideration, we would still stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect for our boys

Great family stay with our dogs and boys ages 17 & 19. Our boys were all about the fishing and the outdoors. The place is nice, not luxurious, but was overall the perfect place for what we were interested in doing. Bring your own kitchen items including napkins, trash bags, plastic food containers etc. Our only real complaint was the grass hadn't been mowed. My only recommendation would be a low dock for the dogs to swim. We enjoyed it a lot.

Good location, clean, excellent dock

Stayed for two weeks for boating, fishing and relaxing. The big selling point was the dock for our boat and it didn’t disappoint. It was sturdy and accommodated our 28’ boat through the remnants of a hurricane with no problem at all. It is at the end of a canal so there isn’t much wind, rain or tide to deal with which is nice. The house itself is first and foremost clean. It’s not the newest or the fanciest place you can rent but it’s comfortable and has everything you could need. I have no real complaints. I’ll just point out a few things. The Collington community is at the end of a 5 mile winding two lane road from 12. This itself is no big deal…unless there is construction (which there was). We had a few long waits getting in and out but no big deal. The house itself looks like a work in progress. Everything is there, just some of it needs finished (trim needs painted, pantry door needs hung, just little details. Again, no big deal. If you are looking for the holy grail of rentals (dock and pets) this is the place.

Summer Vacation July 24-31,2022

House is in a great & quiet location and pretty clean. Upon arrival, kitchen faucet leaking which we contacted Vacasa, and it was fixed quickly. Grass had not been cut for weeks so our dogs did not want to spend anytime outside, after contacting Vacasa someone came and cut the grass the next day. Dishwasher did not work; dryer took hours to dry a load of wash. There are NO CURTAINS so if you want to get up at the crack of dawn with the sun and have no privacy then you are in luck with this house. The chairs on the dock were broken and splintery, the ladder into the water was slimy and there is a huge wooden footer at the top of the ladder which makes it very hard to get up and down it when getting in and out of the water. The backyard was a disaster and it looked like they had a homeless person living in the basement access which was a little creepy. The picnic table was broken and unusable, and the grill was nasty. Trim around the attic access panel that is over the sofa, full of nails, fell off and almost the person sitting under it. This house has potential if it was just kept up on and had curtains installed. An easier way to get in and out of the water would be great, my dog wanted to go swimming so bad, but we had no way to get him out of the water if he jumped in. Oh, and there is no closet in one of the rooms, just a dresser. Then the other room has a closet, but no dresser. There are also no doors on the pantry?! We contacted Vacasa on these issues the day we left, I refused to give up part of my vacation waiting around for workers to come and look at these items since we brought our dogs, I did not want anyone entering the home if we here not there, since the first day they came to fix the kitchen faucet they came unannounced. We still have not received a response other than they are very sorry... I feel bad if the homeowners do not know how run down the house is getting, if this is all Vacasa's responsibility to keep the house up then they fall very short!

Great place, beautiful view.

We enjoyed our stay and I loved sitting on the boat dock in the afternoon. My only complaint is there are no curtains or blinds in windows facing the neighbors. There is new construction on one side and no curtain or blind covering the bathroom window.

The entire area was very nice. Having your own boat dock a definite plus if even if just to fish or relax on. This place is quiet and easy access to the main strip.

Great updates made the house a home!

The nice updates especially floors for the dog. She felt at home right away. Only needed more lighting going up the steps and at the dock. Looks like you were working on decorative lighting. Only a few cob webs in house. Love the new lighting inside. Niice! We felt very much at home!

Great, quiet stay

The cutest little house in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for a relaxing stay. The house was very dog friendly with the fenced in yard. The only thing I would change is to put more blinds up. The house has gorgeous views but no blinds or drapes for privacy in the common areas.

Great House

This house was perfect for us to stay in. The beautiful view out the back windows was lovely. The added bonus of having a fenced back yard made bringing our dog so much easier.
