Great property! Comfortable furnishings, spacious kitchen, spacious bathrooms. Everything looked new and worked well. Amazing view from the deck! Great place for children, bunkbeds as well as an outdoor fenced area to keep the littles away from the river. The pier is lighted and a great place to fish

Family Vacay
This is actually our 2nd time to stay here! The house was very clean and has everything you and your family need! A couple little things were the dish wasn't working so only place to watch tv was the living room but kind of blessing and couldn't access the Wi-Fi. And wish the water didn't stink so bad but still we love this place and would stay here again and again!

Great getaway
This is a nice house with a large area under the house to grill and relax. Plenty of parking across from the house to park my truck and boat. The deck upstairs if nice and the house is nice. Right on the river and backs up to Snappers and close to Waynes bait camp. We will book this location again!

Reeling Em Inn
Very nice property. Cleaning crew could have done a little better but not terrible. Repairs were being done and the materials were laying around which wasn't ideal with kids running around. Watch that last step coming down the stairs. The handrail doesn't come all the way down and we had two people fall at the bottom. We did enjoy our time there...Snappers is right behind property and we enjoyed that one evening.

Great Coastal Family Vacation Home
Beautiful, new, spacious and it had everything we needed for a our vacation. It's larger than in looks in the photos, great floor plan. Very close to the bait shop and the public boat launch. The road to the house is very hard to find but you can see the house from the main road. Loved it.

Family Vacation
Margo was easy to reach and super flexible in any requests I had. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, enough towels were provided for all of us (9 adults and 3 toddlers). House is conveniently located to the beach, Snappers and the public boat dock. The fence was a super bonus especially for the little guys! We enjoyed the stay and would do it again.

cleanliness
Overall the place was clean, however, the floors had sand on them and in the closets. There were socks and used condom under the bed in the 2nd bedroom and there was food left in the refrigerator. Condiments left in the refrigerator. The light over the water did not work and we wanted to do some night fishing and we had no light.
