Amazing stay

The place was spotless, with every corner meticulously clean and well-maintained. The highlight, though, was the stunning view from the living room. The atmosphere was peaceful, and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, scenic getaway.

Thanksgiving family Gathering

The Tranquil Home was the perfect place for our large family gathering. Our teens enjoyed the game room activities, smores by the fire while the adults fired up the pit for some good Texas style bar-be-cue. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee in the upstairs master suite as we watched a breath taking Sunrise. Although there were some inconveniences such as some of the appliances did not work and the plumbing had issues we were able to get through. All and all our family time was priceless and memorable.

Unfortunately... roach infestation

We really loved everything about this house until we ran across the roaches. Nothing will ruin a stay more than a roach infestation. There were a ton of tiny roaches in the kitchen as well as some larger ones too. Thankfully most (not all) of the roaches we saw were confined to the kitchen. That just made the kitchen unusable for us. I told the property manager about the problem and they were very responsive and I believe took the problem seriously. I will say we would give the property 5 out of 5 if not for the roaches.Aside from the roaches... we loved the charm of the house. Beds were comfy. We used the fire pit and the game room/garage. We loved the old school arcade games. There was so much sleeping room we could not make use of it all. This would be a great place for an extended family vacation. The pier was rickety, we didn't try it. The view of the water from the upstairs bedroom was amazing!!

Our Vacation in Oct2024

On the whole, the house was fine. What is slightly annoying are a number of small flaws that really shouldn't be there. Loose cables in sockets and fans, for example. But that is not possible. It is a house with 4 bedrooms and not 5, as it is advertised on one or the other platform. Number five is a separate room in the garage with only beds. No sanitary facilities and the toilet is outside and can only be found at night with a flashlight. And what would be cool is if the jetty was fixed. Therefore grade 3.

A dangerous pier

The home is nice , awesome pool ,but we did have to get someone out to clean it ,very dirty one of the reasons i wanted to rent this place is because my mom loves to fish & I did ask the host about the pier prior to going and he replied back saying the pier was in great shape! That pier is not in good shape, my brother was the only one who made it on the pier , my uncle had to have help to get back My brother would love to go back if he could just fix the pier

Everything about this property is amazing, my family and I had an incredible time. The pool is a lot bigger than it looks in pictures. All of the rooms were clean and nicely decorated.

Breathtaking

This property was hands down gorgeous. There was enough room for everyone. The pool was amazing. The host was amazing. There was a few gnats, but it’s the beach so that was to be expected. Not so much of a pest to ruin our time. The pool is not heated and we didn’t mind at all. It was hot enough outside for us to just dive in. Honestly I miss this place already! I have been singing this property praises to whoever would listen, lol

great stay!

loved the house for the weekend! Room set up was perfect for our group and had all the amenities. The pool was great, we grilled, and went fishing off the pier. If you’re planning to cook for a large group would recommend bringing bigger pots/pans but there was some smaller ones supplied there! We had a welcome committee of a little stray cat who was super friendly and cute but did try and sneak into the house once or twice. Overall had a great time!

The house was big and had plenty of parking. Everything was pretty clean. The host was very responsive. There were some minor issues like the full bathroom door was broken so you couldn't close it. One of the closet doors in the bedroom was broken and the door knob from the garage was also broken/loose. I told the host about these issues and said they would notify their handyman. Overall we had a good time.
