The property was kind of clean but for the required cleaning fee, it was not nearly clean enough. It was kind of fully equipped but had worn and dated bedding, electronics and appliances. It was also kind of overrated by previous reviewers who somehow gave it 5-stars. I counted 11 burned out light bulbs, 3 missing TV remotes, missing batteries in the TV remote that was there, a malfunctioning cable box, 2 smoke detectors taken down and not functioning, a front door that does not latch and a non-functioning vertical blind over the sliding glass door leading to the deck. These are easily fixed details that have been neglected for what appears to be a long time. When you add it all up, it is a realistic 3-star property worth renting if it’s location within Niceville is what you need most. Although we don’t want to hurt their business, we value honest VRBO ratings a lot. This is our eighth property rental over the last 12 months so we think we have a realistic view of how this property should rate; most have been 5-stars but this one is not. If they would begin paying attention to details, we could recommend renting here.

Thank you

We enjoyed our stay wish we could of stayed there longer. We felt at home here and definitely would stay here again.

HOUSE WAS IN VERY NICE SHAPE AND CLEAN AND HAD EVERYTHING THAT WE NEEDED.

We stayed at Camellia House for a special family event. We felt at home the moment we walked through the door. I especially enjoyed views of the water from the deck. Thanks to Ana for being so hospitable.

Great 3 BR home. Near many great places to eat and shop.
