Pack up the whole family and make your way to your own private retreat here in Bumpass! This charming escapade is now under new ownership and has been recently upgraded to provide you with the best vacation spot. With tall ceilings, uninterrupted lake views, a volleyball court, and a fully equipped game room, there will be no lack of fun to be had on this trip. Spend long days on the water or simply relax with a favorite drink on the spacious deck in the summer sun. When everyone builds up an appetite, the chef of the group can head into the full kitchen and whip up a delicious meal as the colors of the sunset reflect off of the rippling water. When everyone is tuckered out, the sectional sofa is the perfect spot for a movie night in the living area. Board games and an Xbox gaming system are also available for some late-night competition. Additional perks include four single kayaks, one double kayak, one canoe with life jackets, and a game room with foosball, Ping-Pong, and a pool table.

Tucked away in the trees along the shore of Lake Anna, this home away from home will feel like your own private paradise! With a private dock and boat launch mere steps from the back door, a day of kayaking, fishing, swimming, and boating will be a breeze. If you want a break from the lake, the adults of the group can indulge in a bar crawl at Lake Anna Winery, Coyote Hole Cidery, Cooling Pond Brewery, and Lake Anna Taphouse! Not to mention, the nearby hiking trails offer gorgeous views of the lake and foliage that this area is known for.

For those with younger guests, two of the bedroom closets (including the one in the main bedroom) are very large and can easily accommodate an assembled Pack-N-Play for those who want a small, adjacent nursery.

Nice Place
Nice location, clean, in a quiet area of lake anna. The beds could be a bit bigger for the adults and the kitchen needs an update in regards to cutlery and pots and pans but besides that we really enjoyed our stay.

Great time with family
Great house for kids with plenty of room. Kayaks at the house made it a fun time on the lake. Kids fished off the dock and caught 213 fish in total 210 bluegill and 3-2+Lb largemouth bass in the 7 days we were there.

Great Getaway
We were only there for a short weekend retreat, but it was a nice stay. Pros: - lots of little things were available at the house such as lifejackets to use with the canoes/kayaks, salt and pepper in the cabinet, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, laundry soap, etc. - location; great lakeside spot for easy access to the water and a beautiful view; it was an easy drive to the state park trails - privacy; despite having neighbors pretty close by, you barely notice because of the trees and vegetation - when we had trouble connecting to the internet the agency was responsive and helped immediately Cons: - all beds were very firm - the temperature rules are a bit intense 75 degrees is MAX cool in summer and 65 is MAX hot in winter Overall it was a great trip and I'd rebook in the future.

Week Away
The property was great. It was easy to get to. Very cozy and great location on the lake, if you're looking for quiet. The ammenities were great, and it was only about 12-14 minutes to the grocery store. We loved the space, the natural light, and the layout. I had to work during a portion of our stay, and the game served very well as an office. We would and most likely will stay there again.

Child Friendly Getaway
Great sloping lot to the lake with beach area and shallow water children could play in. Nice Sandy water front spot. Lots of kayaks and floats. Downstairs equipped with games/activities. Upstairs had lots of toys games for young children. Open floor plan nice for family gatherings.

family vacation
The property fit our family well. The space allowed for mingling or solitude. We like to cook and took advantage of having a kitchen. There was enough space to eat together at the dining room table. That is important to us as a family. The lake was a bonus and everyone swam.

Nice House
This house had beautiful views, well stocked kitchen with new items, wonderful screened porch, good outside chairs, many kayaks, volleyball net, nice ping pong table and more. We noticed this house was recently sold and could tell the new owners were making updates. Not all of them had been completed but we were flexible to live without an ice maker or dish washer. We would definitely stay here again, especially if the new owners add a nice boat house instead of just a dock. But it was still good water access. The Vacasa staff were proactive and responsive to our needs (e.g., corrected wrong wifi info given us relatively quickly, open to frequent texting of questions or minor issues. Overall, we were pleased and may rent again.

Review of Bumpass
This property should be removed from VRBO. The rental had many issues: dirty floors (carpet looked like had never been cleaned); wires coming from deck to window with towel holding in - solar panel in middle of deck is tripping hazard; very dirty throughout property; bed mattress was hard and uneven (head lower than feet). We told Vacasa we wanted to leave and get refunded but they were not responsive nor helpful. The place is old and outdated and needs many updates. We would like to discuss this with a VRBO representative. We left early and will dispute the fees if VRBO not willing to work with us.

You only pay for the view
The property is on the lake which is great. However I had to call Vacasa 4 times for: broken coffee maker, no propane in tank for grill, water dispenser and ice maker didn’t work in refrigerator. House is very dated; broken chair, chipped coffe mugs, cheap old mattresses downstairs bedrooms It’s NOT worth the price and I wouldnt rent it again

Spacious home with a beautiful view
We had a great time in this lovely lakefront property with our group of six women and an 8 week old. A pack and play was provided which was really convenient. The couch is spacious and great for a big group. The relaxing atmosphere and view of the water were perfect for our group of mommas and mommas-to-be to recharge for the weekend. All of the light switches were clearly labeled which was very helpful. A few of us are hoping to come back in the warmer months with the whole family! There were a few things that weren’t ideal but are fixable and would not change our review for the place. The ice machine in the freezer did not work, there weren’t enough pots/pan for us to make a big feast efficiently, and the glassware was limited. Luckily half of our group was pregnant so we only needed a few wine glasses, but there weren’t enough for the whole group if needed. The double beds are really firm and one of the bed frames was not sturdy, so it would hit against the wall with slight movements; we ended up sleeping in the bunk bed instead. A few panels were missing from the curtain for the sliding glass door in one of the bedrooms, and there weren’t security bars for the many sliding glass doors in the house. We never figured out the speaker system or TV, so instructions on the electronics would be a great addition.

Terrible management
This trip was the worst experience I have ever had with a rental through vrbo and it was all because of the management. Vacasa is a joke and I will never waist my money on one of their rentals again. Not only did the local team never contact me after expressing concerns and maintenance issues within the first hour of checking in, they were super dismissive and made me feel like we had to just deal with it. Well almost 2 weeks later I still have not received one phone call or email from that team. They also didn’t send anyone out to address the maintenance and cleanliness issues that I sent multiple pictures about. Don’t plan on using the grill because it doesn’t work. Definitely don’t try to use the jetted tub because it looks like it hasn’t been properly cleaned in years. You have to had wash every dish that you use because they are all put away dirty. It was just gross. Again terrible customer service from VACASA! I would hope vrbo would look into this more and possibly remove the listing from their site.

The Perfect Getaway
We had a perfect getaway at Carolina Cove. The fall weather was warm and inviting, and the view out of back of the house was spectacular! This house gave us the space to spend time together with our adult children. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. We used all of the amenities, and especially enjoyed a small trip on the kayaks. Movie night was comfortable due to the large sofa in the living room and the big screen television. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook together as a family. We had five memorable days at this house, and we will consider returning again next fall. Highly recommend! Thank you for sharing your house with us!

The best of Lake Anna
Carolina Cove has everything you could possibly want for the perfect Lake Anna stay. Kayaks, a beautiful lake view, fire pit, well-stocked kitchen and plenty of space for a large group to gather and socialize. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The Vacasa representative was responsive. I have stayed in lots of short term rentals at Lake Anna over the years and this was by far my favorite one! I hope to be able to return again in the future.

Paradise Pointe
This is a lovely home with everything needed for a comfortable, relaxing vacation. There is plenty of space in the house, deck, screened porch and yard. Being on the private/warm side of the lake, made for a quieter atmosphere. We were able to have a jet ski delivered & put in the water for some extra fun. Having the kayaks, fire pit, and ping pong table really added to our enjoyment of our stay.

Nice location
We were pleased with the layout of the house, the cleanliness and the location. We were not happy with the responsiveness of the property management. We tried to use the Xbox provided and when plugged in a puff of smoke came out of the machine and a distinct electrical burn odor filled the room. We notified the management and were told someone would be out the following day but no one came and nothing was done about it. Also the washing machine left significant rust stains all over the clothes we washed so we could not use it. These were upsetting issues to deal with at an otherwise nice spot.

Very Nice Place, but Here are Areas Needing Attention
The home is very nice and the views lovely. Below are areas that we feel need attention before we would return (in no particular order) Ping-pong paddles in poor condition ◦ Only one ping-pong ball and was dented ◦ Soap dish in shower upstairs won’t stay upright. ◦ Trees along driveway overgrown, hit car ◦ Ants all over the kitchen ◦ Steps coming coming in to front of house are not structurally sound ◦ Deck outlet near grill does not work ◦ Life jackets were out in rain and all dirty ◦ Outside shower does not work ◦ Need directions to operate tv and equipment to play music ◦ Kayaks and canoe were upright, dirty and filled with water - we turned them over ◦ We picked up and threw away Beer cans in grass and water by dock ◦ Thrash from previous occupant's trash in trash can out front in can with hole in lid, attracting bugs ◦ Fire pit needs to be cleaned up and there was no firewood ◦ View from screened in deck blocked by tree branches ◦ Screen door in game room doesn’t close ◦ Rugs in game room need to be replaced ◦ Both C02 sensors not working

Great location but property needs to maintained better
The property is in an amazing location. Easy access to the lake. The rooms and house were clean but there were a few things that need to be addressed. We have stayed at multiple places around lake Anna and compared to them this house was definitely a let down. Few of the issues 1. The kayaks were left on the ground and were house to a whole range of bugs and spiders. 2. The life jackets were all thrown on the floor and were not clean. 3. Couple of the showers clogged while taking shower were water was up until the ankle within few mins of being in the shower. 4. Spider webs were there on pretty much all the doors leading outside to the patio or lake.
