Location and amenities were all great. As advertised.

Beautiful home that’s perfect for a big family. We enjoyed the fire pit and huge yard. The property owners were very good with responding quickly to all of my questions. All in all it was a great experience, we will definitely be back.

The photos don't do this listing justice; the common areas and master bedroom are HUGE! We had several friends come hang out for Labor Day weekend. It's a nice gated neighborhood and there is plenty of space between neighbors so we were free to play some music on the giant covered deck and have a great time without disturbing anyone. The house was very clean when we arrived, the kitchen well-stocked, and all the appliances were in excellent working order. All in all a VERY comfortable house for a vacay. * The water access for this property is adjacent to the common area and wet slips, so swimming area is limited. There is a beautiful lakefront park a few miles away though (Pleasants Landing; there is a cost for admission). **We rented a house on the next street with the same general layout; I'll be leaving the same review for that one, so if you're checking out the other one, this review is legit.

This was the perfect place for me and my group of friends to stay for a long weekend at Lake Anna. There were18 of us and there was plenty of space for us to sleep and hang out. The house was very clean when we arrived and were comfortable the entire time. The owner reached out a few times during our trip to make sure we had everything we needed. We rented a pontoon boat the first full day of our trip from Duke's Marina (only a few minutes away) which was awesome. On the second full day we went golfing at the Pendleton golf course which was very nice. At the house we enjoyed grilling and the fire pit. Overall it was a great weekend in large part due to this perfect place for our group.

Good news; not much traffic at 50+ boat slips directly in back, house has ample room for large gatherings. Back porch has 3 tables very nice for large family meals together. The lake is nice. However, everything is extremely dirty, dead bugs in kitchen drawers, old open bag of coffee sticks to the shelf if you try to pick it up. Old food in kitchen cabinets, open bags of chips etc. Kitchen sink is mounted sideways. Dead bolt in the basement installed with key to inside, where kids would stay, so be careful not to get locked in(fire hazard) Bucket holding water from leaking plumbing under the sink. Hot/cold water are installed backwards in basement bath. Access to 2 bedrooms is from exterior, you have to find a key, go out of the house to get into the bedroom. Windows in those 2 bedrooms into bedroom next to it. If people in the next room leave light on, you will have light in your room too. Everything about this house shows that the owner does not take it seriously and thinks this is a game. Roaches in basement. For 18 people we found 5 towels and 2 hand towels, until we requested more. A few of the beds had no sheets when we got there. The dishes were all in the dishwasher when we got there. Can of spray paint adorned the mantel, multiple broken chairs on back porch. An old table was re-purposed on back porch with mildew and tiles falling off . Filthy, filthy seat cushions on back porch. Grill has never been cleaned. Owner did not respond to 3 messages prior to checking in. I wish I could post actual pictures here. The trash can is actually a laundry basket. The mattress I slept in was old and awful. The blinds are broken and hanging apart. The ping pong table is held together with tape. Watch out for the metal thresholds in bare feet you will get cut. Some light bulbs were missing. Toilet paper holder rusted out or fell off and located in cabinet drawer. Carpet is torn in basement. Wood threshold covering cinder block is not fastened and moves when you step on it. The house next door (has a shared driveway, backyard and boat dock) has at least 4 old boats parked there and looks like a junk yard. Do not jump off dock, 12" deep max. Building house next door had nail guns and air compressors running all day even Sunday beware vrbo policy, must leave if you dont like it results in nowhere to stay after long drive, they gotcha! Disappointed this house would even be eligible on VRBO, no standards at all. Undisclosed exterior surveillance

Large house, good for extended family get togethers. Property needs some updates and TLC.

Plenty of space indoors and out. Big kitchen for cooking meals. We would definitely come here again, everyone had a blast.

Nice location, comfortable accommodations, photos were true to reality

I stayed with a group of friends for a weekend and found the house to be very clean (inside) and spacious. It was very easy to communicate with the hosts as they were very responsive and accommodating. Outside deck was very spacious and about a dozen of us could all sit there while grilling. Grill needs replacement and outside deck can use a 1 time clearing of spidewebs. Overall, it was very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

The property was excellent lots of space to relax with friends and family had newer updates than a lot of previous reviews have mentioned ie newer televisions etc

Great experience! I would highly recommend.

Everything was just a bit off - listing mentioned lawn games and use of a garage, which was locked and the property manager was unresponsive to just that inquiry - they responded to us about a different inquiry. Check-in complexity and check-out requirements were onerous - a multi-step, multi-platform signing process, and despite mentioning a cleaning crew on the checkout documents, a pretty extensive cleaning list. The property itself is a lovely location, big yard, a quiet cove, easy to find. It is important to note that there are boat slips 15 feet or so in front of the waterfront of this property, we were able to have some younger kids swim with no issues, but it may be too close to boats and propellers for some folks. It's not all that busy at any point. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves at the property, but for the ratio of rental price to quality, we won't be booking here again.

Our family always has trouble finding a place at a reasonable price for 20 of us to stay. The rooms in the house are very large and we had plenty of space! We were able to tie our boat in front of the house and enjoyed swimming in the area in front. Our only complaint is the number of spiders around the outside and inside walls of the house.

We had a great stay! This house is nicer than the pictures portray. It is also bigger. There are a lot of places to sit and visit and several bedrooms. We brought a fairly sizable group and we were all comofortable! There is a ping pong table downstairs which was fun! It probably didn't make it into the pictures because it is a bit rundown. However, still usable and fun! I would recommend bring some inflatables to lay in and play with right off of the dock. We had a great time and I would recommend staying here!

PROS • Easy check-in • Gated community so it felt very safe • Easy to find following google map directions • Great location • Enough rooms for a big group • Outdoor space is great - has enough chairs and tables to have everyone sitting outside • Every bathroom was well stocked with towels and toilet paper • Very clean • Communication with the owner (or I guess it’s the owner’s son who deals with bookings) is great. Responses are within reasonable time and he’s very clear and helpful. • Very calm and quiet part of the lake. • Minutes away from the marina (very convenient in case you want to rent a boat, like we did). CONS • Check out process is ridiculously excessive, considering the cleaning fee is on the high side for vrbo. I can understand leaving the place neat and organized, as we found it, but I’m honestly not going on vacation to vacuum and wash, while also paying for someone to clean after we leave. I can’t remember every item, but some of the things on the list included: - washing, drying and folding all bathroom and kitchen towels - vacuuming the kitchen and the living room area - taking all the trash (which they only provide two trash bags for) to the dump, which is about 1.5 miles away from the house - washing, drying and putting away all the dishes - wiping down all counters and kitchen surfaces • One of the rooms is inside of another room, so privacy is compromised for both bedrooms. Although I should say the “nested” bedroom can be accessed directly from outside of the house and locked from inside the primary bedroom, it leaves the nested bedroom without bathroom access. • Outside tables were dirty, chairs were covered in spider webs • There are a lot of bugs outside (but this is obviously not the owners fault and they do provide a few citronella bug repellent candles to help control it) In general, I would recommend staying here if you don’t mind the bugs or cleaning. It’s a nice place with plenty of room for multiple couples or small families in a very quiet part if the lake.

The property is very large and can accommodate large groups. The kitchen cookware and place settings were ample as was the eating space. This home has hosted many and created lots of memories

Everything went smooth with renting

I’ll start with some positives! The house size was bigger than expected. Very open and plenty of room for all 13 of us (which included 4 kids and a baby). The owners were flexible and nice when I asked to arrive a little early the day of check in and leave a little later since there were no other guests on the day we checked in/checked out. They were very responsive and friendly! Kids had a blast swimming in front of the house and fishing- great location for a family with kiddos. However, the cleanliness of the house and property was very disappointing. There were spider webs/cob webs with dead bugs all over the inside of the house. The blinds were very dirty and dusty and many of the windows either had broken blinds or none at all (which made for a very early wake up for the kids with the sun!) The dock was infested with ants, which invaded our boat that we had docked there. Totally understand that there are lots of bugs at the lake - but a pest control service is desperately needed for future guests. The silverware, pots and pans, baking trays and cups were dirty with grease, bugs or dirt. The toy bin had bits of old food from past guests and the toys didn’t work. The grill was coated with bugs stuck to grease. The deck is amazing and would have been so nice to sit out there at night and enjoy it, but we couldn’t because there were A TON of bugs everywhere. Again, a pest control service is desperately needed. Also, TVs were the old box TVs. Not the end of the world, but when you pay a pretty penny for a lake house weekend, you expect it to be a clean and comfortable experience. Overall, we enjoyed the trip and the house served the purpose we needed. I’m giving it 3 stars for the house size, location and owner friendliness. Hoping this feedback to do some minor updates and a deep cleaning (PEST CONTROL) will go a long way for future guests!

We had a great time although the weather was bad for the weekend. The house was very spacious and accommodated our group well. The refrigerator didn’t work and we didn’t get much help fixing the issue. It was also quite dirty with bugs/cobwebs (but nothing we couldn’t tidy ourselves). The property was convenient and easily accessible from Richmond. Check in was easy. We enjoyed the fire pit and deck. Downside was the over all cleanliness and somethings not working.

We booked this waterfront house for a weekend. We were 8 of us and had a wonderful time once inside. Getting to this place was tough. Initially we had two people emailing us separately for a very tight contract, basically it will allow them to charge your card for every single mishap. Understandable, but the two owners don’t communicate between them. So we always keep getting two different emails until I told them I will only respond to one. We got lost as google maps got us into a dead end, tried calling and emailing, no answer. The gate code they provided was wrong, called again, but no answer. It was a very tense moment with a one year old in car and a big family waiting for getting into the house. Communication with the owners are practically zero once you have paid and filled the paperwork. The place has spiderwebs and the outside grill hasn’t been cleaned in ages. But sheets were fresh and linen maintained well. Overall an okay experience. There are better places around, I will skip.

We were there for a friend's wedding so the property suited us just fine for the weekend as we didn't spend much time there. However if I were going to stay there for longer than a weekend I'd probably go somewhere else for now. For the amount of money we spent for just 2 days I would've expected better amenities. The house is very "90's" from the bulky big screen to the AC unit that looks like it's at least 30 years old (not sure how it's still working). This property could be great if they just put some money back into it. The outside is covered in dead bugs and spider webs (just power wash it once in a while). Also the deck and grill need to be replaced as they were both pretty hazardous. Not to be completely negative though the owner is very easy to work with, the check-in was easy and we had no issues getting into the house. The location on the lake was nice and I wish we had the opportunity to get a rental boat. I hope the owner takes what I've said to heart and gives this location the TLC it needs to be great.

First I’ll start with how great the communication between the owner and myself through the whole process. Second the house was amazing! It’s huge and accommodating to all 13 of us. We all had enough space to sit and enjoy meals together and at the same time, space to do different things. We all got to swim right outside the house. Highly recommend this home for your next vacation!!!!
