Well first of all, just the house castle design on the outside won over the children before we even arrived. The check-in process was quick and flawless. Everything in the house was immaculate. The beds were extremely comfortable, the bedrooms attractive and all had plenty of charging stations….much better than a hotel! Bathrooms were well cleaned and each had shampoo and conditioner in them. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and many little extras like seasoning and spices you might initially need bf you get to the store. Also, there was a supply cupboard in the laundry room that included batteries, extra toiletries, mosquito spray, etc….again all things you might need bf you get to the store. The porch in the front porch and deck area in the back were great for family gatherings and the oversized yard provided plenty of space for little ones to run around. All in all, The Castle will be the perfect spot for your next family or other group outing!

Upon arriving at the property, we discovered that the house had not been properly cleaned by the cleaning company and the previous guests had left the grill in an atrocious condition. The owners of the house were extremely apologetic and sent us a bottle of wine as an apology for the cleanliness issue and actually ordered a new grill the day we made them aware of the situation. While I believe the home could use some improvements, our stay overall was pleasant. The park right across the street was a bonus for anyone with a family as well.

We stayed here with our four kids and another family of five. The house was very clean and well appointed, and close to downtown Frankfort and the beach. Everyone had a great time. Plenty of dishes and cookware, lots of towels, and adequate seating. Our only critique is that the Wi-Fi router wasn’t working well for us. We could plug the cord from the modem right into a computer, but none of our devices could stay connected wirelessly. We would definitely stay again.

Home was as described- plenty of sleeping space. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had all the essentials for convenience. Nice front porch and yard area, and very convenient location. We walked to beach often but it would be a long walk with kids/beach gear- however it would be a very short drive to drop off anything needed also. Would definitely stay again.

Underwhelmed

Underwhelmed

While the property has enough bedrooms (with beds and small closets, and fans) for many people to stay, the living area is very small. Also, the listing claims central air, which is not true. It is a wall AC unit that is very noisy and works to remove humidity but not necessarily cool the house very well. There are many fans in the house, but if your group requires cool AC, this won't cut it. Additionally, we had a fairly significant check-in/cleaning snafu which the property manager attempted to rectify, but the owner said would make right and then did nothing in the end. I tried messaging him before we checked out to talk one more time, but received no response. A few other notes: while there is wifi, it is not set up for rotating guests, so it runs out of IP addresses that it can host immediately and kicks everyone off the wifi. Essentially, there was no wifi. This is something the owner would need to fix with the cable company and the set up of the model. There were many amenities not listed including bodywash/shampoo/conditioner provided in every bathroom, a hair dryer, fans in each room, many bath and kitchen hand towels, TP, and bath fans. While the kitchen was fairly well stocked (no baking dishes, but everything else we needed was there), there were minimal grilling utensils for the nice new grill outside (propane was provided and adequate). Additionally, it is definitely too far to walk to the beach from the house, as the listing says its a quick "10 minute walk". However, Frankfort's main street and beach are nearby, but driving is probably necessary for most people. The town and beach are wonderful. The house had newer furniture in the kitchen and living room which was nice. The beds were all comfortable and the mattresses were new and clean. The window coverings were sheer and so the morning sun woke everyone up very early regardless of bedroom. Overall we had a nice stay as a family, but were underwhelmed by our experience at the house. Was it cleaned? yes, eventually. Was it as described? mostly. Some things were present that hadn't been listed and some things were less than described. Would we go again? I'm not sure. Was the owner attentive when we called VRBO? Yes.

A great location of a vacation home

The property was nice and accommodating for a group of 4. We enjoyed our stay while we were there on our annual fishing trip. I have a couple of suggestions for the property managers and owners. Clean the grill before new guests arrive Clean the fire pit and have it ready to be used Have the appliance in working order. The dishwasher was broken prior to our stay. And not fixed during our stay. Have the place sprayed for ants. There was a infestation of ants in the kitchen

We had a few issues while there, the dishwasher failed and flooded leaked on the kitchen floor (owner said it was new and under warranty so he was having it addressed), ants, ants, and more ants. There was an infestation in the dining room and kitchen (owner was said property manager was coming out that day or next day, didn’t show up). All but the King bed was just springs with a cover on it. If you have back issue like I do, you won’t be comfortable. Owner said new beds coming during off season. Overall we enjoyed it, great location and fit our large family. Owner was very responsive and polite. I am sure he will address the issues. That being said, we are considering giving it another chance next year.

Great Family Home

Great Family Home

This was a wonderful house for our large family with plenty of rooms and beds, and also good insulation so we weren't disturbed by people in the other rooms. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for all our showers. The house had plenty of parking and room for the kids to run and play. It was an easy walk to town and the beach, with a playground and tennis courts next door. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, including books and games for the kids and a great huge patio. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend the castle house!!! Great vacation home and town!!

Had a great week at the castle for the 3rd year.

Had a great week at the castle for the 3rd year.

This is our 3rd year renting this property for a week because every year they have made improvements after we made suggestions. We met the property manager last year as we were leaving and found her to be very open to suggestions of what was needed in the kitchen ie. extra large pots, Saran Wrap and foil, and plastic storage containers and all were there this year. Our only suggestion this year would be either shades/blinds/room darkening curtains in the master bedroom and the other bedroom at the front of the house, as it was very bright at 6:00 a.m. plus car lights are seen at night. It would keep the room cooler in the daytime because the sun warms that room and the air conditioner doesn’t cool it enough. It always nice to know that everything is there that you’ll need and suggestions are taken seriously, so we plan to rent again next year.
