We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming home. Plenty of beds for our family of 8. We loved the view from the wall of windows in the living room. Lots of kayaks for everyone to enjoy, fishing off the pier, swimming and the tree swing were all a huge hit. A bonus was watching all the alligators in the waterway across the street...the kids loved it!Quotes from my kids as we prepared to leave today:"Mom, this is one of the best decisions you've ever made.""We should do this more often...at this exact place!"Thanks for helping us make some great memories!

The house and location was great, only complaint is the house was not clean by any means and was filled with spider webs along with the porch. I know the shower was not cleaned prior to us coming because there was a crumbled used bar of soap in the shower.

Three generations of family had a fabulous time at the lake house. Our favorite part was the ease of getting into the water and having the kayaks in tip-top shape made the water play even more fun. The interior met our needs as well.

Not Bad, but not Great.

This is an older place that those who own it can't afford to do much to make it better. The view of the lake is incredible. The sunrise is beautiful. Putting a twin bed in the house foyer and describing it as a 4th bedroom is ridiculous. Cobwebs in the corners of the back bedroom must indicate how little it gets used. Calling, texting, and sending notes on the VRBO app asking for the code to check in is also ridiculous. I called and got the voicemail is full. I got the check-in code at 7:59pm. At that point, I was wondering where I would sleep tonight. The place was not clean. It does have good wifi.

Rustic Relaxing Retreat

We arrived on property a few days after a tropical storm hit the area. We booked the house to stay w/ family & friends for our daughter's wedding that Saturday. We were surprised to find the grounds flooded & no paved parking or sidewalks! We had to remove shoes, walk thru squishy mud & wipe feet in house. Repeat each time we went to car or house! Not great for events where you are wearing formal clothes! My parents had to leave & find another VRBO as it was too messy for them. Also, only 2 bathrooms & 1 did not have an outlet. With ladies needing to get ready for a wedding, not good. If you book the property, know that it is very rustic. I didn't dislike it. I liked the relaxing environment & amazing views. It was comfortable & clean. It was close to town & the alligators were mesmerizing. I gave the property an overall 4 rating because it is was it is advertised to be. I just wish I had known about the no driveway/sidewalk issue. Additionally, I wish the dock had seating on it. We would take towels out to the dock to sit on while we watched the sunrise. I will add that the owner was extremely quick to respond.

Family Long Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunny Side Up! Missy was more the great to work with and very accommodating. We hosted our son’s 1st birthday party in the backyard and when your family has more kids than adults this is the perfect setting! Swimming, yard games & grilling out made for a relaxed and fun weekend. The lake is shallow which is perfect for kids & adults who want to play baseball in the lake. The house was spacious, wi-fi great & the kitchen was equipped well. Missy even left some kid friendly snacks & juice pouches! We will return every year if able. Highly recommend for a family fun week/weekend.

Simple and quite

This is an older home that has much character. One thing we especially liked is its view of the back yard, lakeshore and dock are unobstructed so we could watch the kids from anywhere in the common areas of the house. The price was very reasonable and we had a pleasant experience.

Not quite a "retreat"

This property is way oversold in the listing and way over priced for what you get. It is very old and it is run down. I am sure many happy memories have been made there, but it should be listed as an older, well used property. We had to go life jackets as the ones there were so old and torn. The floor slopes so badly it made my Aunt's vertigo act up. There were torn screens, cobwebs, and dust. It is really only two bedrooms. There is a twin loft bed immediately when you walk into the house and one of the rooms doesn't have a real door. Bath towels were hard to find and there were almost no little amenities if you needed something just to tide you over until you could get to a store. Figuring out what switches did what, even with the labels was a huge challenge. Again, if the property had been a little more forth coming in the listing, I don't think it would have left as bad an impression. If you are looking for an older, well loved and used home, this is perfect. If you are looking for a lovely lake retreat, keep looking.
