We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Relax and Renew! Our party had two families of 4 with children 10 years - 14 years. We couldnât have picked a better property to rent. Being on the canal was one of the most interesting and amazing experiences ever.
A few minor issues that had no impact on our trip - the beds are all loud and squeaky. Using both showers at the same time is near impossible due to water pressure and temperature.
Now, for all the AMAZING pros of renting this property. The bedroom set-ups are perfect for traveling with two families. The master bedroom is spacious with a HUGE closet and lots of drawer space. A nice private deck can be accessed from the bedroom. The queen room has a big closet and plenty of drawer space. There is a deck accessible from this bedroom. The bunk room is tight and no drawers but big closet with shelving for clothes.
The kitchen is very large and well-stocked. The large dining table was perfect for meals and game nights. The living area is beautifully decorated and the couch and chairs are comfortable. *Be sure to keep adjusting the thermostat back to your desired temp. A Nest is used for this unit and it was set to 75° so if we were outside or out of the house for any length of time (including night while sleeping), the temp automatically went back up to 75° which was WAY too hot for us. It cools down quick and there are lots of ceiling fans to keep it comfortable.
The outside area is the gem of this property! The enclosed porch with a table for 4 and 2 comfortable lounge chairs was perfect for breakfast, lunch and hanging out. The patio has 4 comfy, reclining lounge chairs with cushions that were great. There were also stackable patio chairs to use for fishing or to place around the pool. We paid to have the pool heated and are glad we spent the extra money. The pool is the perfect size for the amount of people the house holds. The pool and the hot tub were clean upon arrival and because there area doesnât have sand or grass, they stayed very clean throughout our stay. The hot tub lights did not work but there are plenty of lights outside that it didnât bother us. The beautiful bush by the pool is absolutely stunning but the leaves overtook the pool many mornings and a pool cleaning net was not providing (we bought a toy net to use and it worked). No pool or beach toys are provided, not fishing supplies. The kayaks were great but no life vests provided but we had our own. All in all a PERFECT home
