Splash Landing | Riverfront Estate with Infinity Pool, Guest House & Private Docks

10/10 Excellent
"The house was very nice and clean. It was exactly as the description described and the pictures showed. We lived that every bedroom had its own bathroom. The great room was perfect for hanging out together in the evenings. Kitchen was great and having 2 fridges was a bonus! We enjoyed the pool area and being able to walk down to the dock for a boat ride. The communication with the property manager was also amazing as we had a small mishap where we locked ourselves out of the guesthouse and she solved the problem within 10 minutes. Amazing!!"
