Avis Lakefront home on 5 acres with boathouse, kayaks & water trampoline

Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the house and all the property has to offer. Everything was clean and we felt cared for by the communicative hosts.

The unit didn’t have power from 2:30 till 9:30 pm. There was no water even for the restrooms. I was initially offered 5% discount, and when I called and disagreed, I was offered 15% discount for the day till 4:30 power outage, the power didn’t come back till 9:30 and I strongly believe this is not the way to do business. Even after calling and complaining, I didn’t get a call from the local property manager or any assistance. We requested for a candle, a small portable generator, or something so we can use the restrooms, nothing was provided. I am also doing a business and if I give half way info to my customers, I couldn’t stay in business. When I called to the customer service they were not even aware that the house didn’t have a generator or city waters. When you are renting this big property without power, water in this weather, what would you expect us to do? I strongly suggest you to put yourself in my shoes. If any of my customers put reviews in the social media, I will have a hard time explaining and clearing my name for next business. I had 10 kids in the house.

We've been renting on Lake Anna for the past seven years and have thoroughly enjoyed each rental - except for this one. When we arrived, there was broken glass on the driveway, which we picked up. We entered the house and discovered more broken glass on the sticky and filthy kitchen floor. We soon discovered that there was no hot water, but we were able to locate the hot water tank and reset the outlet. Later that evening, we tried turning on the TVs, but none of were working due to branches in the way of the satellite dish. As we walked around the house, assigning our guests to their rooms, we noticed that many of the lightbulbs were burned out. In one of the showers, there was hair and some kind of soap on the shower floor and walls. The sheets in that room, by the basement staircase, had not been changed and were dirty. Sand was found inside the sheets in one of the other rooms. On the shelf inside the office closet, there was a stack of dirty linens. We noticed a few things when we looked outside. The trampoline was not in the water, and all of the outdoor furniture and tables were dirty and covered in leaves and debris. The basement carpet needs to be cleaned - its terrible. There was a dirty rag and dust on the treadmill as well as a pair of worn socks in the screen in porch on the floor. Many of the beds in the house squeaked horribly and had terrible mattresses. We also noticed how filthy all of the light switches were, and there were fingerprints on the sliding glass doors. The wet bar near the garage, including the mini refrigerator, was sticky and gross. We believe that this house was not cleaned prior to our arrival and that Vacasa Rentals did not inspect it. This house has a lot of things that need to be fixed or replaced. First, lighting - many bulbs need to be replaced. Second, the smoke detector's battery needs to be replaced by the basement stairs - it had been beeping for several days. Third, the basement bathroom drain is completely clogged, and finally, the first-floor dryer does not dry at all. Some recommendations for prospective tenants. Please put some extra blankets around the house, such as on the back of the couch and at the ends of beds. It would have been nice if there had been some firewood for the fire pit. Also the kitchen needs more than two dishtowels. It is important to inform renters that construction is taking place next door so that there are no surprises when trying to enjoy a quiet day on the deck.

Lots of room and something for all ages 5 months to 80. We had great weather so fully enjoyed the porches and the dock and the kayaks. Loved the cove location. Bummer that 2 houses are being built on each side so there was some construction noise, but not too bad.

The house was clean and had nice toiletries and liquid soaps at every sink. Kitchen well stocked with dishwasher soap and trash bags. Having 2 washers and driers was wonderful as was the 2 refrigerators and commercial range. The lower level with games, wet bar and TV area was enjoyable. The community is nice for taking walks. Best of all was the beach. The water is very warm and the cove is quiet. The kids spends hours there every day. The WiFi has issues.

Upon return and all comparing experiences, we believe there were beg bugs. Several in the group had "bites" that no insect was ever found. At first mosquitoes were thought to be the culprit because that is what the bites reminded us of, but no mosquitoes were ever seen. 6 of the 14 of us experienced mysterious bites that upon further investigation we believe to be bed bug bites.

The home was lovely and well appointed. We actually loved the property and had a wonderful time. The only problem was when we arrived, there was dirty underwear in one of the bathrooms, dirty towels in bedroom down stairs, showers were not cleaned. This did not ruin our time but for the cleaning fee we paid should receive a portion back. With that said we would stay there again as it is a beautiful home with everything you need and more

We had a great time getting away. Not having a direct contact with the owner made things tough at times. Would suggest they leave extra dishwasher tablets, trash bags and dish washing liquid. Due to Covid we cooked all the Meals and leaving us with min supplies we had to go buy stuff.

We enjoyed staying lakeside here on Lake Anna. The amenities were excellent: dock, beach, fire pit, lawn, deck, porches. Inside, we enjoyed the communal spaces, especially the large rec room and the communal & open-space kitchen/dining/living area, along with the many en-suite bedrooms. We highly recommend this lovely abode.

This house was easy to rent through VRBO. Our weekend away was refreshing, and the little extras (hand soaps and travel shampoos) already available in the house were wonderful. Our women’s retreat enjoyed spreading out through the house and having delightful conversations. Emails from the property management were timely. We didn’t need to talk to anyone because the house was clean and ready for our stay. Check in and check out was super simple!
