We loved staying in this property. Discovery of the amazing decor and notes were fun. The Pool and spa were wonderful. We had guests for a BBQ and dip in the pool and this property had all the amenities in the kitchen needed to host a family get together. Dog park was close by and walking paths were well light in the evenings. People are very friendly in the community. Thanks for everything.

Safe location. Very Outdated. The jacuzzi bathtub was out of order, dirty coffee cup, blue paint tape all around windows in master bedroom, shower in master bedroom had plexiglass above it and was covered in dirt. The master bedroom bathroom counter was covered in antswerewere were going stra

The property is old rundown and dirty. It smelled of mildew. The sauna was full of pool equipment. The pictures were very misleading. The only reason we slept there one night was because we arrived so late. The owner did not seem surprised by my disappointment and did refund us. The first 24 hrs of my vacation was ruined.

Arrived to find a service man repairing the refrigerator, 1 hour later the refrigerator still wasn’t cooling, contacted the host who told us we could get ice at Walmart. Service man returned and told us the compressor wasn’t working and he would try to return tomorrow. Contacted the host who offered to plug in the refrigerator in the garage for us. We told him that was unacceptable and we would make other arrangements. The host was too cute in his attempt to BS us, and he finally told us to contact VRBO and start the paperwork and he would confirm.

Continue to love our time at the Castle and always look forward to coming back again as soon as we can.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The beauty and uniqueness cannot be matched, and truly does remind one of being in a castle. The amenities were top notch and I would recommend a stay. Gary was very responsive to questions and an issue with the air conditioning and had a repair tech out the next morning. We were traveling for a family wedding and enjoyed the respite this property offered.

Love the Castle, the neighborhood, and all the friendly people in Paradise Lakes. This has become a regular vacation spot for us and will continue to come back. The pool and hot tub overlooking the lake is worth every penny.

We had a wonderful experience in this castle for our 20th wedding anniversary. Every single section of this home is well thought out with beautiful authentic decor fit for royalty. We had so much fun taking pictures in all the rooms pretending we were rich and famous. :)

Everything about our visit was amazing and we will definitely come back. The property was better than advertised and the owner Gary was great and communicated with us before arriving and also if we had any questions. Indoor pool and hot tub were what originally drew us to the property but the entire house was amazing inside.
