The house is in need of repairs. The floor slopes in the kitchen area and hall. Pillows are torn on the couch. The coffee maker didn’t work. The deck lights didn’t work. The grill was too nasty to cook on. The space between the deck board on the dock have too much space. Bad for kids or could cause some one to fall and twist ankle.water to fish cleaning station didn’t work. House was not very clean.Vent in bathroom is nasty. There was garbage in cans in laundry room. We couldn’t get the hot water to work in the kitchen. Weak boards on back porch. I expected better for what I paid. I sent email to let her know about coffee maker. Reply was she try to get one out there. That was our first night. It never came so I went and bought me . On a positive note, the fishing wasn’t bad.

Pros: Great views, great location. Whoever they had work on the dock ladder and screwed down the deck boards that were loose. Interior space was enough for 8 people to comfortably hangout and relax if weather is bad. Exterior space had a lot to offer but needs tlc. See below. Cons: Place can use a little work. Dock deck boards are so far spaced out even adult feet can fit in them. Throughout the upper and lower decks nails came loose and some stuck out all the way. I asked for a hammer from the maintenance man and pounded down nails that we thought could cut feet. Upper deck spindles are way too far spaced. 6 inches or more. Small kid could fall through.

We enjoyed our stay, beds were not comfortable. Ladder was broken when we arrived, we let owner know but received no info back regarding it being fixed, we were hoping to be able to jump in water at the house but were unable to. Otherwise everything was as expected.

We enjoyed our stay. Sol-Mate is a beautiful place. Be prepared to bring dishwasher and dish soap, laundry soap, handsoap, coffee, etc.

The location of this property was great! Loved having immediate access to the water for fishing and relaxing. Check in/out procedures were simple and we had no issues. The dock had a few spots that need repair, and are quite the tripping hazard especially at night. The main floor bedroom had a dirty comforter, but there was an extra provided so we replaced it on our own. Some of the towels in the bathrooms were stained/dirty. The main living area was nice and spacious. The kitchen was missing a few main necessities such as dish soap, and paper towels/napkins. Make sure you stock up on what you need before going to the island as there are not many options to get groceries/necessities. Overall, it was a decent stay but could have been a bit more clean.

This home is beautifully decorated. The outside areas are the best parts of the home!!!! We had towels that all smelled terribly of smoke. I reached out to the owner who said they had called the cleaners- we were never brought any clean towels and the owner never followed up. Instead we had to drive 45 mins one way to get detergent and launder the linens ourselves. The top bunk bed did not have anything other than a comforter. There were other smaller things such as the coffee pot being broken- had to hold it closed for it to brew. The entertaining space outside is where we ended up spending most of our time. With some TLC this house would be nice. Maybe it would have been better if we didn’t visit in the off season. Overall, we stayed but we would not consider renting this property again.
