Before booking a lake property check the following. Does it have lake views from inside the house. Does it face south and get sunlight? Does it get the south breeze? Does it have deep water at the pier to swim or park a boat? Is the lot large and have room to do outdoor activities? Is the house crowded by other houses? Do they provide pictures of the surrounding area and houses? What is the neighborhood like? Is it quiet? Is the lot relatively flat? Is there plenty of parking for guest and boat trailers? Does it have outdoor outlets for charging boat batteries? Does it have a turnaround drive for boats? Does it have covered parking for cars or boats? Does it have great views from most all rooms and the lot? Is it close to town? Is it in the Florence area? Can you get food delivered? Is there a boat launch close? Does it have cable and great internet speeds ? Our property checks all those boxes. Ask these questions before booking your next lake stay.

Family Gathering

Fantastic stay! Everyone enjoyed including the 6 adults and 2 small children. The floating mat was a big hit! Beautiful home and very clean and well kept. Loved the fishing dock, kayaks and swimming. We have booked what will be our 3rd stay! Lovely!

Perfect family retreat!

Michael and Tracey were great in communications before and during our stay. The house was VERY clean and completely stocked with anything you would need to cook/grill there. It also has plenty of games, TVs, fire pit, kayaks, and a paddle board! Our teen boys loved all of it! Especially fishing off the dock. The other thing we loved was how close we were to Florence to be able to get groceries, eat at restaurants, and even sight see! We will absolutely be recommending this place to friends as well as return here again soon!

Great house

Our family has rented multiple homes in this area, and this house is by far the best one. It was convenient to my elderly Aunt's house in Florence along with shopping and restaurants. Robert Trent Jones Muscle Shoals golf course is approximately 25 minutes away. My husband and Granddaughter fished in the river right behind the house and caught blue gills which was very exciting for her. The house is exceptionally clean and the screened in back porch was a game changer for us. We rarely stayed inside because the back porch with fans was so pleasant. We would definitely recommend renting this house, and we plan to go back in the fall.

Lovely Riverside Getaway

Family of 5, kids ranging from 7-16, enjoyed our weeklong stay on Shoal Creek. Floats galore (especially loved the float island) and a wide range of life jacket sizes for the whole family. The screened in porch has a large sitting/lounge area and a family size dining table/chairs with cooling fans for outdoor enjoyment (screens help keep out the bugs). The porch was definitely our favorite space when we weren’t in the water. The two master suites are sizable with comfy beds and plenty of storage. All 3 baths are modern with high shower heads (great water pressure) and deep tubs. Third bedroom is smaller with twin beds, but perfect for kiddos. Owners are super responsive, no issues during our stay. Check-in and check-out was seamless! We will stay here again and recommend to others staying in the Shoals Area. Check out Rising Crust Pizza (5 min from house) for a no-cooking night.

Great Get Away

Location was the best, great view of the lake and distant lights at night. Very Peaceful, and close enough to anything you might need with a short drive. The aesthetics are inviting. Fishing was great from the property and dock, huge float was fun and kayaks provided was another fun activity. Not enough room here to mention all the great things about the Lake House. Having plenty of room for truck and boat trailer was a huge plus for us. You can book this with confidence.

I rented this property for my grandparents anniversary and they have done nothing but rave on everything there. They loved the quiet neighborhood and how peaceful it was to sit out on the screened porch or by ther fire pit at night. We will definitely be renting this property again for the family!

Perfect Gem!

This property is massive! The waterfront and view is spectacular. The house has everything you will need. The host guide was wonderful. The welcome gift was a bonus! Will definitely rent again. The beds were comfy and the screened in porch was fantastic. I could go on and on. I’ve rented a lot of houses, but this one was special. I enjoyed myself. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by MB Rentals

We own and manage residential and commercial properties. This was our family lake house for many years, and we lived in it full time for the past year. We travel and stay in private VRBO properties such as this one and have knowledge of renting properties. We live on the lake and hope to share our love of the lake through this unique property.

Why they chose this property

This house was recently renovated and is a perfect vacation rental. The property is in a great location, and you can be at many restaurants and attractions in 5 minutes. Downtown Florence is10 minutes away and Muscle Shoals in 15 minutes away. The boat launch and marina are only a 5-minute drive. You can see the Highway 72 bridge from our property. The house is1/2 mile by boat to the Tennessee River.

What makes this property unique

There is a large fire pit and lots of firewood for those cool nights or just roasting marshmallows. We have 2 hammocks, 4 kayaks and a 2 slip boat dock to tie off your boat under cover. The water is deep enough year-round to access the dock. There is a large screened in porch with a dining table for 6 as well as a TV on the porch to watch your favorite game. We have covered parking and a large turn around drive with extra space to park your boat trailer.
