Condo with lake views

6/10 Okay

"Beautiful view, very peaceful. Communication was a bit difficult prior to arrival. The unit could probably use a thorough cleaning and update. A couple of the window treatments were defective and need to be replaced. The bed was comfortable."

1-bedroom condo on the Crystal River at the Homestead

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely setting in the beautiful Homestead, with views of both the Crystal River and Sleeping Bar Bay. Reasonably priced for the area. The one bedroom condo was fine, though a bit dated. Kitchen well equipped except definitely needs new pots and pans. Bedroom furniture very nice, with great bed and linens. The condo was very clean on the surface, but needs some deep cleaning behind/under furniture, closets, along baseboards, etc. Bedroom carpet needs cleaning in the traffic areas. Overall, it’s a good place! A bit of updating and a little more cleaning could make it a great place!"

Openings: June 5-12; 14-20. July 9-15. Aug 19-31

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely get-away location. Very comfortable and well-appointed. This was our third springtime visit, and we always leave smiling. It is so good to be in Glen Arbor in the quiet time before the summer crush arrives, and the peacefulness of the setting, both inside and outside the condo, makes the world right."

Glen Arbor Riverfront Retreat: Steps to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this location, so peaceful right on the river and walk over the bridge to the lakeshore for sunsets! The attention to detail in the room was great. The decor and accents were very well thought out and make the stay special and had all the conveniences needed. Would recommend and hope to get back there again soon!"

Waterfront condo with stunning views in Glen Arbor. Air conditioning.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is OUTSTANDING!!! Also, loved being so close to the river and lake! One of the few condos that have A/C and the kids loved the top loft. We lost electricity due to storm damage and management was great about keeping in communication with us about the progress of it being restored. Cleanliness was good, but the fridge could use updated as it struggled to keep temperature down and we had alot of food in there to keep cold since we did alot of cooking there."
