2 GENERATION FAMILY REUNION, ADULTS 21-72 YEARS OLD.
5 enjoyable, comfortable and busy days and nights in a spacious, tasteful 3 story historical house on the White Oak River waterfront. Nice functional kitchen, comfortable beds, 4 nicely appointed baths, responsive property manager. Property owner would benefit by providing an informational "Welcome" document or book, with details about the house, supplies and procedures.

Beautiful rental
We really enjoyed the house and location. The only suggestion would be that check out instructions be listed on refrigerator or somewhere. I received a email after we arrived home cause cell service wasn't good all the time.

All was nice, but parking designated areas assigned to us was totally ignored my those in surrounding businesses. Even notifying the Vrbo staff produced 0 results. Barbara Butler

Would recommend with caveats
Lots of room to sleep, lots of places to sit, spacious balcony, within walking distance of restaurants and shops, short drive to beach. Musty smell on first floor and anxiety about not having guaranteed parking. Live music outside on the weekends. The property was accessed to get golf cart off porch without notice - would have been fine if notice was provided. All in would recommend and would rent again.

Beautiful house with lots of space. Great family reunion for entire family. A few items needed: a spray cleaner in kitchen for daily cleaning and more dishwashing soap. Couldn’t find a broom and dustpan. Master bath shower on the right not working properly, I could only get cold water. We truly enjoyed ourselves and loved the balcony and gathering space on the 2nd floor.
