This was our first stay at this property. The house was very clean and well stocked. The owners are very nice and super responsive. The location is very convenient to the Statesboro. Only about 10 to 15 minutes from town and campus. House is in a beautiful neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again.
We had an amazing time it’s hard to summarize it!! This house is truly a home away from home and more!!! Friendly host, great neighborhood, beautiful and clean home! We came for a family vacation to relax and go to Splash in the Boro….we never made it to the waterpark the pool and hot tub was more than enough!!! We truly accomplished what we came for!!! Definitely will be back!!! Thank you again!
Lovely home & setting. Very peaceful. Lots of nice touches…snacks, popcorn machine, wood for outdoor fire & supplies for s’mores, breakfast foods available, etc. Owner very responsive, polite & easy to work with. Only complaint about the house was it needed a good deep cleaning. I’m sure it’s hard to accomplish this with the few hours they have between check out & check in.
We did have issues with the listing on VRBO - when booked (almost a year ago) the listing did say events up to 50 people. We purposely chose the house for this. We had a rehearsal dinner here. Then received a message stating we were over occupancy & were going to be charged another $693. After talking with the owner, this issue was resolved. I believe the listing on VRBO has now been updated too.
Had the house been cleaner & we not had the issues with the listing, I would definitely given the home a 5 star review.
Host was extremely prompt at answering messages. Amenities were outstanding and included plush robes, bottled water, snacks and any toiletry item one could possibly need. House is located in a beautiful neighborhood that is perfect for early morning walks to take in the view of the pond.
Absolutely beautiful property with all of the amenities! Host was super sweet and checked in with us several times to make sure we didn’t need anything. We’ll definitely be back really soon!

Great amenities!
This property exceeded our expectations! The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable mattresses. The added touch of having k-cups of coffee, an assortment of light breakfast options and single-use bathroom supplies provided made this property stand out against any other I have visited. Plus, it is really a very nice house in a beautiful neighborhood. Hands down a top choice pick when returning to Statesboro!

Last minute
Last minute reservation due to a family funeral. Our stay was ok as the property needs some upgrades to the bathrooms (no walk in shower available). Also all 3 beds are very high, so our 86 year old mother had to use a stool to get in and out. The owner lives on site and the suite is attached to the house.

Comfortable, spacious home
This house is spacious and in a nice quiet neighborhood about 10 miles from GSU. We shared it with another family and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house could use a few updates but had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive to our questions/concerns, however, they are technically staying in the same house, just on the other side of a door. I thought the comments about being “on property” meant they were in a separate house nearby but no, they were in the house with doors facing the pool.

The house is a little dated but the AC worked well. I also noticed a slight musty/smoke smell on occasion.
bad experience, we booked for 7 nights and stayed only 1 day/night. On the website it says that the owner lives on the property but it doesn't say that his door faces the pool, taking away the guests' privacy, we smelled a strong smell in the house and the owner in addition to being rude, he thought he had the right to stay with us in the rented area, taking away our privacy, I do not recommend it to anyone

Nice property. I felt harassed and spied on the entire stay. The house could have been cleaner. We found dog hair, spider webs, and dead insects. This could have been managed but there was no broom or sweeper available. We were in town for the Georgia Southern football game and several family members stopped by on the way to the game so we could get there as a group. I was constantly questioned by the host as to how many guests I had. The visitors were for a very short time. I have used VRBO in the past with more than satisfactory visits, but this was an extremely unpleasant experience.

To be fair, I would be giving this property a 4-5 star rating if not for the interaction I had with the host upon departure. The property is nice, the home was personalized with a few graduation decorations and a welcome sign. No issues with cleanliness other than some dog poo left behind in the gated area. We were allowed to check in at 1pm instead of 4pm and the host always responded promptly. The reasons for the negative review are as follows;1. It reeked of marijuana. Not just the day we got there but also the day we left so there’s no blaming the prior tenant. I’m fairly open minded but I was there with my in laws and children. 2. The owners patio umbrella blew over (because of wind) the first day and a claim was filed on us to replace it. I paid for the renters insurance thankfully and suggest you do the same. 3. When I asked her to come hang the umbrella back up, she told me a neighbor was coming and no one ever came. We left with it still on the ground.I feel badly for even posting this because I never post bad reviews but this one was a doozy.
This is a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the pool. A good family space. Owners could not do enough to make our stay a pleasant one in terms of equipment, advice etc. An array of pool inflatables available, more snacks, water etc than we could eat! Bar-B-Qs and outdoor kitchen essentials a plenty. Main living areas and kitchen are tired and require updating if this is to be truly 4* accommodation. We were surprised to find owners living in part of the property that was separated only by an internal door, covered by a table and picture. We could hear them at times and I am sure they could hear us. Smell of smoke/tobacco/vape also drifted through the property at times (we don’t and have never smoked). We have spent many vacations in USA always renting properties for our stays but have never found owners to be living in such close proximity. Also, neighbor was invited to use pool by owner during our stay (I was in the property at the time). This may be acceptable to some but the proximity of owners and shared use of pool should be detailed in the advert and renters made aware at time of bookings. This could be a gem of a property and a 5* rental if property updated and issues with sharing accommodation and facilities addressed.

Spectacular vacation home!
This home is the perfect getaway spot for our family of 4. Perfect for say trips to Savannah and Charleston!
Met owner and discovered the small world we live in. Thanks for sharing pictures of Ft Collins and especially the garage door opener. We old folks don’t do well without railings and steps. Had a good time with grand babies and birthday parties at the park.
