Summary: Great location for a weekend spent at Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens! Awesome that we got to use the canoe! Also, really nice kitchen!

Summary: The house really needs a deep clean, and some maintenance items need to be addressed.The kitchen was not well stocked with silverware, and there's a limited selection of cookware. None of the bathrooms had hand soap or hand towels, and we had to purchase kleenex and toilet paper. These are generally provided in VRBO rentals.There's not much room in the "living room", considering the number of bedrooms. The layout of the house is odd, broken up into small areas. Several of the flooring thresholds are trip hazards.The upstairs has a nice play area for kids.The kitchen is very large, with a large table and bar area. Double ovens was a plus. The view of the river is nice.We parked 4 cars without issue. The property shares a driveway and parking area with a neighboring rental. Our trashcan was full after a three night stay.

Summary: Excellent place to enjoy 4 generations of my family. Plenty of space to play with my grandkids outside and games to enjoy on the inside. Very quiet neighborhood and plenty of privacy.

Summary: This home is very humble and cozy, which is to say, if you're into amenities and shiny things, it's not for you. We had (4) adults and (6) kids all in the rental, which had adequate spacing and sleeping arrangements, linens and towels all provided. It's a true weathered lake cabin, with canoe, fishing poles, and the likes. Wonderful family and friend memories made.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. It was relaxed and enjoyable ! The only comments I would like to make for fix, not so much negative ! Water pressure in the showers was low, the back porch door closure jammed and we removed it, laid it on porch table to secure the door. Private beach alot of seaweed, kids not able to play in sand or water

Summary: Truly amazing stay! The house is terrific and a great place to be out of the way of the bustle, while still remaining close enough to nearby activities. Like i said, we were blown away by how much better the property is than the listing gives it justice! It was a bit confusing to find the first time, as the number isnt displayed on the road. But if you have sharp eyes, you'll find it. If you want to swim, pay attention to what the tides are doing. But the water was amazing. Only true complaint: many of the windows were hard to operate, or almost completely inoperable. But this had an extremely limited impact on our enjoyment of our time there. Check in and check out also super easy. Would stay again!

Summary: The house is very big and accommodating. The yard and beach access was a major plus. There was a cockroach inside which was slightly off putting but not a huge deal. We requested sheets which they kindly provided. Communication was great and check in/out was seamless.
