The living room boasts two sleeper sofas, a large SmartTV, and abundant natural light. On the right, there's a dining table for six and a fully equipped kitchen with eat-in dining for four.

A few steps up, you'll discover the den area with a foosball table and two more sleeper sofas. The last bedroom features two queen beds and offers backyard access.

The master bedroom comprises a queen and a full bed, complete with a desk and an ensuite bathroom featuring a spacious shower and double sinks. This bathroom is connected to the den area.

Our home is set on a semi-private pond and features a large yard and a spacious porch with a charcoal grill. Smoking and parties are not allowed.

Note: this home used to have an interior hot tub in the living space. It is no longer functioning and is covered. This will not impact your stay. Please inquire if you have any questions!

Our band stayed here. We are a multi-generational family and friend punk band. The space was perfect with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed relaxing in a lakeside quiet space after a night of rocking out!

Quiet, secluded and spacious property. Could use a bit more cleanliness of white seating area, and upstairs shower but not a show stopper from overall enjoyment. Very responsive property managers.

My family and I were in town for the USC graduation. Convenience was the best thing about my stay. The neighborhood is not the best. The house is located down the street from a rough looking area. The layout of the home was nice except of the fact that one of the rooms was made into a bedroom right in the entrance. You enter the front door walking through a bedroom to enter the rest of the house taking away the privacy of the guest in that area. It is time for the exterminator to come out. The back dock was a nice area but looking at the pond was not the best view. The home next to the pond has a lot of backyard items appearing very messy.

Due to renovations at my own home, I had to find a place that would accommodate my family. This place is very roomy and has many beds for multiple people. The only "bad" I could say about the property was that some tiles needed to be replaced and the listing says downtown when in actuality, it is not! Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much!

The communication from the property manager was great from beginning to end. Responses were quick. The check-in process was a breeze. The property was clean and just as described. I will definitely rent again.
