The property was as pictured/described with a nice, open layout for the common areas that felt very inviting. No issues at all with our very large family having enough space. Everyone loved kayaking and tubing off the docks. We were able to rent a boat nearby and explore the bay more as well. We made frequent use of the pickleball court and appreciated all the space for the kids to play. Indoors, the walkout basement had an excellent game room and theater room. The kitchen was also well stocked, which I appreciated. It is somewhat "off the beaten path" so heading out for trips or other activities took a bit longer. The only issues we ran into were not having enough hand towels/wash clothes and just a couple small maintenance items that the host happily took note of. There was a small ant problem but it was largely being managed with traps and we tried to be good about not keeping food out. The star of our stay though was the beautiful and peaceful views from the back porch. We saw gorgeous sunsets, a variety of birds, and Osprey diving for fish. The area was whisper quite at night. A great location for anyone looking for rest and relaxation.

The Cradle Point Estate is absolutely amazing. Family-Friendly and great location for a retreat. Peace and Serenity The hosts are phenomenal. Will rent again in the very near future In The Spirit Of Community

As a disclaimer, we are not new to VRBO and have never given or received anything less than a 5-star review. The location, the view, and the home layout are excellent and would normally be conducive to a relaxing gathering/vacation. Unfortunately, we arrived to the house to find (not a complete list): portions of the exterior deck boarded off which required going outside and around; numerous windows/doors without screens; wasp nests in deck furniture; construction/repair materials left in public areas; closet doors hanging off their tracks; dilapidated and legitimately unsafe deck bar and stools; poorly installed bedroom/bathroom cabinets that basically rendered them unusable; and unsupported decking that a family member stepped through. We did not approach the host about these things during the visit as we didn't want work being done while we were there. However, to be fair, she was very responsive to other things that came up during the visit. Afterwards, we did provide feedback directly to her regarding the issues and let her know that we were extremely disappointed in the premium price charged versus the misleading listing and the overall condition of the house. She thanked us for the feedback, indicating that it would help them to improve and that they had already begun addressing some of the issues. No refund was offered and we left feeling somewhat cheated.

Had a great experience staying at the property. It was as clean and well maintained. The host Jessica was a delight to work with.
