    We loved the extra porch (entertainment space) during our stay at this lake house! Kitchenware and other household items need a bit of updating. Dock was fantastic! Outdoor stairs may be a bit much for young children and seniors. Host was very responsive. Very close to Cove Ridge Marina if you would like to rent a boat. Overall a positive experience.

    This is a quintessential St John home with lovely stonework, beautiful exterior, with several covered porches and screen doors for the cross breeze and a great pool area. The house has wonderful ocean views and beautiful landscaping all around. It would be perfect for a family vacation or for three couples - there are three bedrooms, the primary with an en-suite and two additional queen rooms with separate bathrooms. The pool area has very accommodating and comfortable seating both in the sun and shade. This is a gated home which keeps out the goats, with a parking area large enough that you accommodate several vehicles. The location of this house provided quick access to Coral Bay restaurants, South shore, East end and the North shore beaches.

  • Great spot and comfortable for everyone!

    5/5

    Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their stay at Watauga Lake! We loved jumping off the top deck into the water and all the water toys were so fun to use! The pool table and 2nd kitchen made for an easygoing environment for both kids and adults! Plus we are able to have an early check in which made for more fun on the water! We will definitely book this particular home again and hopefully soon!! Thank you!

    5/5

    This is a very comfortable home away from home. It was quiet and peaceful. The host responded quickly when I had a question and was very helpful.
