• College Friends Reunion

  4/5

  I met up with three of my friends from college plus our husbands and kids for a weekend reunion. There were 8 adults and 10 teens/preteens. We had a great time.Positives: Plenty of space for everyone to sleep and also to spread out and not feel like we were all on top of each other. The kids enjoyed the game room, the place was pretty clean, all the beds were made up and ready for us, there was enough of all the necessities to get us started and a couple of dollar stores nearby for the things we ended up needing. The kitchen was pretty well equipped.Cons: There are broken closet doors in a couple of the rooms, a broken shower door in the downstairs bathroom, some of the doors don’t lock (most of them have poles stuck in them to prevent entry). Most of the beds are decently comfortable, but the two full size mattresses in the room with six beds was like sleeping on the springs. They need to add some mattress toppers.Our kids also discovered shed snake skins under the couch in the basement game room area. but we didn’t find an actual snake.It seems like many of these concerns have been noted by other people who stayed there before us as well. While we still enjoyed our time together and would probably have stayed there even if we knew these things going in, it would be very helpful to future guests to address these concerns.

  5/5

  My family and I have stayed at many places on monkey island, our favorite vacation spot. This was the first time we came across this property and wanted to take a chance on something new based on the great price for lots of space. It comfortably fit all 14 of us and even accommodated a few family members over for dinner as well. I loved this location as it was still a golf cart drive away from the best attractions (marina, battlefield, Shang ri la) but still felt tucked away. It was a beautiful home with so many entertainment options. We could have stayed at the house all day and had plenty of fun! I can tell the owners thought about the guest experience and the management was incredible too- very responsive and took care of everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again!

• Senior golf outing at Shangrila golf course

  4/5

  Pictures on the site pretty much over exaggerated the luxury of the unit. Several things needed updating or fixed. The basement shower needs replaced as there is no way to get into the shower without getting sprayed with cold water. The refrigerator door does not close properly without manually flipping the inside seal to the correct position. The ice maker does not work. The downstairs toilet seat is broken and you have to sit side ways on it. The outside fire pit furniture is rotted and one of our gentleman fell to the ground when he sat in it and it collapsed. Bear in mind that for 8 guys on a golf trip, we got along fine as we aren’t picky. But taking wives, this review would be a little more severe.

• Perfect home away from home on the lake.

  5/5

  Very comfortable and spacious. Kids loved the game room! Being on the water in the quiet cove was the best.
