I booked this home for our son’s graduation from the University of Alabama. We had 12 adults and one infant staying with us. The house was the perfect size for all of us. The house was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Since the graduation was at 8am, we were all able to come back to the house for a family celebration with lunch and cake. The host was very attentive to our needs, answered all questions, and addressed any problems we had. We enjoyed our stay.

We were a group of 13 Alumnus gathered for a great game against LSU. The house was just perfect for our needs. Lots of beds, towels etc. we loved the poker set and played each night. The deck was perfect to sit at and chill. The only problem was we couldn’t use the fire pit due to a fire hazard warning in Tuscaloosa. That would have been awesome. Overall a great place for large groups. Highly recommended.

This house was great for our game day weekend stay. There were two couples and five kids and the space was great. The kids loved the bunk room. The outdoor space and firepit were also great.

House was perfect for 9 men to congregate for a football weekend. Lake site was peaceful but allows for lounging on back porch or down near the water. BBQ pit was very useful and loved the large downstairs gathering area. Everyone had their own bed and were very comfortable. Very clean. Property management company was easy to contact and offered welcome parking and rest rooms on game day. Only item that did not make us feel welcome was what we felt was excessive signage about fines and extra fees. I’m sure there have been problems in the past that the owner felt necessitated the steps.

Water oaks Lake house simply has everything you need and beyond! Fully stocked kitchen, household supplies, everything you need for the fire pit, and the complimentary kayaks and paddle board made our stay! Vanessa and Customer Service was excellent in addressing our questions. We arrived two hours before check-in and we were allowed early entry. This was super helpful in letting my elderly parents get settled in and unpacked. This was just a perfect stay and we plan to make this cabin rental a family tradition!

From the time we arrived the welcome basket set the tone of feeling at home. The amenities for the lake were fabulous and we enjoyed the quite nook the house resided on within the lake. The house was phenomenal and is exactly what you think of when you think of a lake house. In the crazy hustle and bustle of dropping our daughter off for college it was a welcome retreat and we will continue to return over the next 4 years. Thank you for having such a lovely home. ~Miah

Water Oaks was beautiful and the location was perfect! The house was spotless and every detail had been taken care of. I’ve never stayed in a rental with such a well stocked kitchen! Every tool we needed to cook and grill was there. The dock was great and the floating mattress was a wonderful addition. We loved having the kayaks and paddle boards. The only thing we didn’t like was having to leave!

Awesome House on the lake
If you're hesitate about renting this house get over it. My family had such a great time visiting our daughter in Tuscaloosa. This house had everything we needed and we can't wait to return. The host was great and communication was instant.

The house was the perfect setting to celebrate my daughter's graduation from UA. The amenities were first rate and the location was perfect. The house was well maintained, clean, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering hosting family gatherings, football weekends, or just needing to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Best Rental Property!!!!
We recently returned from a long football weekend at this property. I can honestly say that this is was my most favorite rental place that I have ever stayed in. The house was perfect for our group. The location was close enough to campus to make the commute easy and far enough away to avoid the traffic and craziness. The amenities were amazing….all of our needs were meet and even some that we didn’t even realize we needed were available! We will definitely return to this property. Next time we will stay longer do that we can enjoy all the lake has to offer.

Just returned from a long football weekend with family and friends at this rental home. I can truly say that this rental is the best we have even experienced. The location is close enough to town to experience all Tuscaloosa has to offer but far enough away to miss the traffic and crowds. The house was perfect for our group and the amenities were outstanding. We felt like all of our needs were anticipated....even some that we didn’t realize we needed!! I highly recommended this home and will be taking my own advice and booking a return visit soon. We want to come back and enjoy all the lake activities that we didn’t get a chance to experience!

Beautiful but overkill
This house is amazing however the property managers are unprofessional and invasive. They tried to get me to cancel my vrbo reservation and book straight through them. This is not how business is conducted. On more than one occasion through text message and email they stated to save me money book straight through them. I am a business owner and didn't think it was professional. After my reservation was confirmed they sent me a 6 page document asking who was sleeping in what bed and they wanted names and numbers. EXCUSE ME??? yes they want the names of who is sleeping in each bed. that is overkill and I'm not quite sure who you have rented to in the past but I will never rent from these people again. I have rented hundreds of vrbo and have never been asked who was sleeping in what bed and considering I have 2 16 years old with me it was not wanted. Also you rent a house and you cant have guest unless they are "approved" by management. SO if my husband who paid for this house wanted to surprise me he couldn't bc it wasn't approved and heaven forbid he use a towel if he wasn't approved bc they would charge me a surcharge. There are "notes" all over this house. One on a candle states the candle can only be used if a power outage or I would be charged for candle. All furniture on the dock was locked down on the columns, couldn't be moved and spiders were all over them. This is my overview.....

Our family get together was a great success including the mild, low humidity for this time of the year.
As we entered the house, we noticed long white dog hairs visible on the rug at the entranceway. After being at the house less than a day, the kitchen sink was draining slowly even though we had diligently kept no food from going down drain.
We appreciated the 3 hour early entrance into the house since it was ready. The boat dock and outside gazebo was our favorite place to gather with the campfire
Thanks to Kim and the girls in the office for making our time in Alabama successful

Excellent choice
We stayed here for a family weekend with our Alabama student. The house is fantastic and not too far from campus (20-25 mins). They did not miss a thing as far as stocking the house. We will stay here again!
