About this house rental
This house is close to Wilson dam and is right on the water .This house is good for couples, business travelers, and families (with kids). This house had a fully equipped kitchen. A basement which can be enjoyed watching a nice movie in it and hangouts. House is located in really nice and quite neighborhood and is like 5 mins drive to downtown Florence and the best thing about this area is that is a combination of four small cities Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia (birth place of Helen Keller) and Sheffield, also this area is famous for its music . Allot of nice area to visit around here. I am pretty sure you will enjoy your stay here.

This house is very nice. The views from almost every room are incredible. There are several out door spaces, all with gorgeous lake views. I didn't cook except on the grill but the kitchen would be great kitchen to prepare meals for any size group. The dock is good to fish from. The pool was nice to lounge in.

Great house with plenty of amenities. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of space for food family and relaxation. I would completely recommend for a couple or family looking to get away and relax.

This house was perfect for our 4 day family trip - lots of room for the kids to run around, well equipped kitchen, close to grocery stores and attractions. The house was beautifully decorated, but still not too delicate for the kids. The owner was extremely prompt in answering our questions.

The house was the perfect size for everyone to spread out and relax to take in the spectacular view all while having great space to gather. We especially enjoyed the 2 patios on the main level that our handicapped sister had easy access to. Rafi was so easy to work with, as we added extra days to our stay. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!

Me and my friends been coming from chicago to this magical place few times a year for the last six years.We really enjoy the fishing ,realaxing and the wievs from this beutifull house..The neighborhood itselfs is very quite and friendly for morning or evening exercising or realaxing walks. Also we do really like the dining in downtaun of Florence which is only 8 min drive from the house.The house is very clean and cozy, different patios give great option if i want to take a break from my friends. Looking forward for my next stay there.

For our needs this was perfect. We were visiting our son at UNA and wanted a home with a pool, plenty of room and a view. This had all 3. I cooked all meals in the home. The kitchen had a large stove and oven and plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. The host was very responsive. The home was clean we had no problems there. We had concerns after reading some of the reviews but were happy with what the home provided us. We enjoyed time at the pool, meals cooked in the kitchen, meals and games at the dining room table, sitting on the patio, beautiful views from many rooms, walks in the neighborhood and a 15minute drive from campus allowing our son to stay with us.

We loved the place, the views were breathtaking. Rafi was very responsive on all our concerns. We look forward to perhaps staying again.

First the good: The house is huge and has plenty of space to host a family reunion. The views out the windows are stunning, with lots of natural light. The neighborhood is absolutely wonderful, beautiful, and quiet.
However, once you get past that, it's pretty disappointing.
The pool was dirty and unsafe due to a missing main drain cap which is extremely dangerous, so we could not use it even if we wanted to spend an hour cleaning it up. We were hoping to be able to use the pool but could not.
The kitchen was not cleaned well, with dirty fridge shelves and sticky substance on the handle. The counter surfaces were unclean. If you intend to cook, expect to go to the store to get what you need to cook, because the pots and pans are unsafe to use with peeling teflon, even the can opener was so rusty we were afraid to use it. We spent a good chunk of money and time just getting pots we needed to cook.
The pictures of this listing show the pool and kitchen prominently. Probably the worst thing is that both were unusable in the condition they were in. We managed to clean up the kitchen enough to use it after buying what we needed.
The windows were not clean and there were smears all over on the interior. Lots of dead flies and bugs around the windows all over the house that could easily have been vacuumed up but weren't. Fingernail and toenail clippings in the living room.
Sadly the owner seems to be dealing with a mice problem, saw several and disposed of a dead one.

I am a frequent VRBO renter and this property was by far my favorite.
Amazing views, sunset and sunrises were beautiful, the location was very quiet and had easy access to multiple restaurants, shopping, etc.
The kitchen was laid out perfectly, the master was on the main level and separate from the 3 bedrooms on the top floor. The basement was a great hangout space.
Rafi responded quickly and was very accommodating.
Would highly recommend this home to couples or large family’s.
We will definitely rent again!

Beautiful house. Very nice neighborhood. Gorgeous view. Thank you!!!

Great location and view!
The pool area and river view didn't disappoint. The neighborhood is great as well. The house was a bit dated and some of the appliances in the kitchen didn't work exceptionally well (gas range and icemaker). The outside windows and upper patio area could use a power washing. Otherwise though, we were very happy with our stay. Some other reviews seem a bit picky about the cleanliness. It's a huge house and I'm sure getting it completely spotless between every guest is very difficult. We would most definitely stay here again if in the area.

This property has been very neglected. Curb appeal is good. View out the back is great. Interior was extremely DIRTY. DO NOT be fooled by the pool and view. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

When we arrived we were pleased with the view but as we settled in we started noticing the home was not cleaned properly. Moldy drains in the showers, dust everywhere, someone’s hair bonnet left underneath the master bed, someone’s socks left in the drawer in the closet, someone’s used chapstick in the dresser drawer, etc. the heat in the master bedroom did not work so we didn’t stay the first night. I couldn’t reach out to the property manager because he sent me his phone number but left one number out. He gave us the wifi password but we couldn’t connect to the internet there. Only until I found a paper (left by a previous customer) is when I found the correct wifi password. The heat was fixed the next day (not sure if he has sound/cameras in the home) my kids wanted to use the jacuzzi tub but the jets do not work in the tub. The view of the river is a 10/10 but that is about it. The home is beautiful but needs a desperate deep clean. 2 out of the 4 nights we paid to stay we did not.

The place is so spacious. I love the furniture throughout the house. Beautiful lakefront view. I would stay there again. They could use a better house cleaning service though.

Great location for our family reunion over Thanksgiving. House is lovely and views are incredible. All in all a great choice, just little things need to be addressed. A few things need to be repaired/replaced - mattresses, pillows, light bulbs, water faucet in shower in private bath upstairs need to be labeled, Owner and handyman were very quick about responding which was great. Would rent again.

Property was not clean, had mold in showers and toilets not clean, countertops not clean, some of the dishes in cabinets were dirty along with the utensils. Dishwasher upper rack was broken. Toilet was broken but contacted owner and he promptly sent a repairman. Alarm went off upon entering bc the keypad at front door not working. Police came. Owner failed to tell us of the working keypad in kitchen. Owners phone number on contact info is not complete. It is a beautiful property just needs deep cleaning. Overall it has incredible views and great space. Great location

This was the perfect place for our family's approximate one week stay. The house does have a million dollar view of the lake from many different locations. There was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax. The kitchen was huge and up to date. The pool was perfect and also overlooked the lake. We brought our boat and parked it on the water just a mile or two down the road at a marina. The fishing was excellent for July (schooling wipers and largemouth). Rafi was an excellent host. The only question is...when do we do this again?
