Every thing was good. The door knobs and doors need to be replaced. There is a spot on the dock that needs to be repaired. I think there is a board that has broken underneath and that could be an issue. The master bathroom electricity wasn’t working. We called for two days and I emailed. We didn’t get a response until Tuesday. So we were not happy about that.

House was not at all like pictured. All of the door handles were broken and half of the doors barely closed. When we first got there and were walking up the stairs the handrail fell on top of my cousins ankle.

This property met our wants for a canal house with a private pool. The general cleanliness--the bathrooms, kitchen, linens were all good. The outside of the house needs some maintenance. This property is new to Ryson and I am sure that they will maintain it. We have rented with Ryson before and have always been satisfied with them. This house had a key box, so check in and check out was easy.

The location of Luna Mar was beautiful, can’t beat the view. The property while decorated very nice, is in bad need of updating. The deck was literally falling apart the patio furniture also. No decent frying pans or knives. Flooring in kitchen and living room needs replacing!! Very nice pool, however the last full day we were there, I was cussed out by the pool guy, he told me to go F myself when I asked him if he could come back the next day so the kids could swim before 8:00pm. Very very rude way to speak to a grandmother!!!! I would stay here again but I would definitely bring my own pans and knives!!!

Awesome place to stay

We have rented this home a couple of times now. We always have a great time there fishing. The home does need some work done to it to fix it up. The washer and dryer did not work this time around. Other than that it is a great place to stay with your family and friends. Plenty of room for the whole family to fish and is in a great location for fishing. We will be staying there again.

This was perfect for our family! The kids loved fishing and they even went swimming even though it was very chilly. Perfect vacation. Only complaint is that there was a den of roaches under the dishwasher that would come out a lot. Definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere

The sprinklers come on and keep the canal side of the home soaked. There is a broken sprinkler that seems to be the problem. There was a very strong urine smell in the master suite. I stayed in the room closest to the front door because we couldn't handle it. The know on the dryer is still broken and the built in microwave works intermittently. But over all we would stay there again in hopes the smell in the master was gone.

Our least favorite VRBO rental

1. Was not real clean. 2. There were ants and spiders. 3. Pool was dirty and when they tried to vacuum the vacuum did not work. 4. Downstairs bedrooms had an order. In fact the smaller one was so bad we could not use. So we went from 6 bedrooms to 5. 5. Oven did not seem to be calibrated. We used it twice and both times things were very much undercooked. We used the same time and temp we used at our homes. 6. Power in the master bathroom went out Sunday. 7. There were 2 microwaves and one did not work and the other had a chemical smell that got on the food. 8. The den floor had some slots not the middle of the the room that were breaking up and looked rotten. We had to keep the infants away from that area.

Weekend Getaway with Friends

This property was great. Nice location, beach entrance right across the street from the neighborhood entrance. Large home with plenty of room for our couples trip with friends. We will definitely be back. We encountered several small problems that need to be fixed but, those problems won’t deter us from coming back. Some of the issues were that one of the railings on the main staircase is loose. There were multiple lights outside that did not work including the pool light. There were so many different switches you just didn’t know what did what. A label would be really helpful. Especially since there were many switches where we couldn’t find what they did or went to. The middle door downstairs by the kitchenette had a broken doorknob so you couldn’t get it open. There was a light switch on the patio outside of the living room that was loose, broken, and again wouldn’t turn anything on. There were so many random bowls, vases, and pots placed everywhere around the house for decor that it was overwhelming. So again, we had some minor issues but overall the property was great.

Annual Gals Beach Weekend

The property is perfect for our purposes which eat, drink, relax, play some games & enjoy being around each other while leaving all home responsibilities at home! We will soon start planning next year's trip & will be coming back to this house. One suggestion would be to label light switches. Also in the house book info the username & password need to be switched.

Great Memories

We all had such great fun! Everything we needed was there. It had something for everyone; quiet space to read or work, games for the rainy periods, pool, quick beach access and plenty of fishing space. Bait and Ice were a quick few blocks away and the area was quiet. The underwater lights weren't working this time, but the top light was good for evening fishing. Everyone had a great time and we plan to return.
