Very nice location. Quiet. The only problem was the internet. Which controls the tv. It was in and out daily. The management and owner were extremely helpful.

Overall loved our stay at Round House retreat on the Bay. Outside area was beautiful with bay view, dock and sand beach. Quiet with neigbors on one side. Great central location to groceries, restaurants and activities. Kitchen well stocked. Appliances somewhat dated, but worked well. Itrip very responsive to couple minor issues. Only drawback was uncomfortable beds, and would have used grill more, if it waa a gas grill.

We enjoyed our stay at the round house. The view was great. It could have been much better if there was comfortable seating on the deck to sit and enjoy the view. The outdoor furniture is worn and no comfortable seating anywhere outside. The beds were okay but not great. The house was clean and for the most part in good condition. We did have to call maintenance and they came out very quickly. The Round House is a nice place to stay if you enjoy being out away from everything. The main downfall is the stairs. It is not good for elderly or disabled. There is only one neighbor and the house is very close. Otherwise, nice place.

The property was Beautiful! So relaxing to be there. Pros: Plenty of room - large rooms - not cramped Large kitchen. We never ran into each other while cooking Plenty of cooking utensils Large living/dining area. This was so nice Flooring is easy to clean There is a nice large dust mop for the large areas Great pier for fishing A great blue heron was a daily visitor Large outside area to explore the habitat Plenty of outside seating House was clean except for the dog hairs in the placemats The house is structurally sound. Plenty of bath towels Great views in every room Plenty of silverware PLENTY of pretty plates/bowls. This was great since I don't prefer paper plates Plenty of pillows Washer/dryer worked great. We did 2-3 loads per day Fishing all you want. Cons: Biggest Con: No safe swimming!! Somehow, I didn't see that there are alligators and sharks near the shore. Since I rented this place so my grandsons could swim any time they wanted, this was a huge disappointment. Oven doesn't heat accurately - AT ALL. I cooked a pan of brownies for 1 1/2 hours and they still weren't done. Should have taken 20 minutes. Oven door doesn't shut all the way unless you stand there and hold it closed Pans for cooking are in horrible shape. The only decent ones were a dutch oven, a stock pot, and a 1 quart sauce pan. Beds are SO squeaky! Mattresses need to be replaced. The flooring in the house is a bit weird. I'm sure the plan was a cheap total replacement but you get what you pay for. The flooring is curling some. Some guest didn't put the water pad up correctly and it is moldy The posts in the water near the pier prohibited successful fishing out towards the bay since the fishing lines could get wrapped around the posts when reeling in a fish. You should cut those off. Bottom line: We won't be returning.

The house was comfortable for a family Thanksgiving holiday. The view is wonderful. It was a bit cold so we didn’t get to utilize the wraparound porch or the downstairs gathering area but they looked very welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing our Thanksgiving dinner. The only complaint was the slow internet/wifi - a lot of buffering was occurring while we were watching football.

We loved the location and always enjoy renting houses in this area on the bay. However, the lack of amenities was shocking and would keep us from returning. There weren't any trashbags provided (only the one in the trashcan), only one paper towel roll, no cleaning spray (made it impossible to clean up after cooking), the cheapest bars of soap...no hand soap and no soap at all on the kitchen. The mattress was so bad we tried out different beds hoping it was just the one we picked but they were all bad. I've never stayed at a rental that was so poorly stocked. Very unwelcoming.

Wonderful place for a quiet retreat for our group of elderly cousins. The house was very comfortable and roomy enough for a relaxed stay. Management was very responsive to our needs/concerns. While there were very few negatives I would still like to share them with you. Bedroom 3 and 4 were advertised as two separate bedrooms that shared a bath. In truth, that fourth bedroom is attached to bedroom three and there is no egress from that room other than through bedroom 3. Same for the bathroom. It is in bedroom 4 and guests in bedroom 3 have to enter bedroom 4 to access that shared bathroom. Did not like that at all! We loved the two walk in showers and would suggest that handicap bars be placed in every shower/tub for safety of guests. We could never get main television to work. While that will likely be a problem for future guests it was not a problem for our group…allowed us a more enjoyable time to visit. No doubt, mattresses on all beds could be better and likely need to be upgraded. We would consider a future rental for this property.

Check in was easy. Property was exceptional. We took canoes, a hammock, and bikes. It was perfect for relaxing watching the dolphins and fish in the water by the fire or from the dock or porches and/or enjoying a short canoe ride with them. The house was spacious and cozy. I loved the layout. The only minor negative I have to say is that the beds themselves are not real comfy and very loud/squeaky if you move in them at night. I move a lot in my sleep so it was a bit annoying to my spouse. But, the beds were nothing we couldn’t deal with considering all of the other fantastic pleasures of the property. It was a fantastic trip. I hope to get to stay at this property again someday.

Appliances did not work well Lift up to house needs to be operational as we had a handicap person and the stairs were very difficult for her Boat lift needs to be working as well Spend a good amount of money on a place and you expect it to be up to code and everything working right Need instructions in book as to how to get to places and also where things are in house ( DVD player etc) Also cleaning not very good in house there was al sorts of fur and stuff under trundle bed and dead bugs in corners

This property is absolutely amazing! The house is huge (we had a group of 11). Kitchen is fully stocked and there was sooooo much for the kids to do! The bay can be deceiving on depth, it was only about 4 feet which was perfect for the littles! We saw several dolphins every night! My ONLY complaint was that the oven doesn’t cook like it should so it took twice as long to bake our food, which isn’t a big deal as we had plenty of other things to do while waiting! I would most definitely book here again, the place is gorgeous inside and out!

We enjoyed being at the roundhouse. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. There was adequate bedding for our big group. I will say the refrigerator didn’t get as cold as it should, but besides that, the kitchen was nice. The sunsets were beautiful, and we even saw a few dolphins swim past. We also really enjoyed playing cornhole as a family. We would definitely stay here again.
