Perfect for a quiet getaway.

We just finished staying for a week at this property. It was an older property but very functional. The kitchen was fully furnished and the master bedroom was nice with comfortable bed. The only complaint was that it was misrepresented about having TV's. It had TV's but no cable. The TV in the living room was modern with streaming services but you couldn't watch network TV without using a streaming TV service like YouTube TV or Sling.

We arrived at the house we reserved the air conditioner was broke . We called the office and the took immediate action with the maintenance staff, we were moved to another home that was much nicer for our needs. The Hoffie house . We enjoyed our stay on the lake and would return if we are in that area again. Great dock and swimming.

This property has a list of Pros and Cons to be considered. Pros - Lakeside area very nice with a large table for dining and nice chairs with cushions. Fire pit area. Friendly neighbor. Upstairs master is the best room in the house. Comfortable beds upstairs. Nice TVs in each room with cable. Grill was filled with gas and well appointed with tools. Cons - Main living and dining area is very small. Seating for maybe three or four people. Not enough room for a family to have dinner. This can’t be overcome. One half of the dock is rotted and must be made a priority to finish repairing. Long strip of muddy drainage area should be filled. Many bugs of various types but also may be the wooded lake location. Porch needs pressure washing and cleaning after each guest. Bathrooms need new shower curtains or glass doors installed. Mildew present and very dark while showering. Carpet needs to be replaced. I would not recommend swimming off the dock due to debris (cove location). Very narrow path to try and dock a boat. Overall enjoyed the stay after first impressions were overcome and thankful for nice weather to stay outside most of the time.

The neighborhood was great. Very friendly neighbors. House could of used some exterior cleaning. This home served the purpose of a quiet weekend we were looking for relaxing and fishing. The dock is in need of repairs. Home needs a little TLC, but no major complaints.

This is a lovely, cozy home tucked away on a beautiful cove-front lot in a nice area. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, bathrooms well-appointed, new appliances, rebuilt dock, outdoor seating area with fire pit, kayaks... everything you need for a lake getaway. Owners were good communicators and check-in/check-out was easy.

Cute space and place. Just as advertised. We had a stroke of pouring rain for 48 hours so were limited on enjoying the lake front but enjoyed a few walks up through the neighborhood in between showers. We were looking for a departure from the crazy busy city and it is just what we got! Netflix, jigsaw puzzle, and quiet rest!

I rented this for my parents and brother during my wedding weekend on Lake Oconee. It was the perfect spot for them to rest and relax just a short drive away from the festivities. The owners were easy to get in touch with and very responsive to our questions. The house was very clean and the perfect size for them. Would definitely recommend!

Great place. We had a nice two days here during December. No issues at all. Very peaceful and quiet. Loved the area!

The experience with the owners was great and you can tell they are trying to put a number of nice touches with the cabin by offering laundry detergent, dish soap, spices, rolled towels etc but it’s a little more run down than I was expecting for lake oconee. The inside needs new paint and new tubs as they are so worn that they don’t look clean. They are clean but they don’t look clean. It is a well equipped kitchen however several pieces must not be used often or were never cleaned thoroughly as some were greasy. All the pots and pans and dishes should be washed and inspected. There are too many decorations in my opinion that leaves little space for cooking. Once we removed many of those to the spare room, we had plenty of space. It’s a good size for 4 people but 6 adults would have been too tight. There would not have been enough seating. The outside desperately needs paint and the patio pressures washed, it was too grimy to sit on the porch but the lot is very pretty and you feel like you’re on an exclusive camp site. The dock was being replaced while we were there so the new part was lovely to sit on. The old part will hopefully be replaced soon. The chairs outside by the dock felt new and were quite lovely to sit and watch the sunset. We did take advantage of the fire pit and that was fun.

This was a nice get away. The house is nestled at the end of its cove. Which for us was great! The kids could splash and pretend to fish without the worry of incoming vessels. We were able easily tie up our jet ski after launching it at the nearby launch. The on property kayaks were fun to try as well. We loved the fact that there were enough trees to give the option of shade someplace all day. We took my parents along and the gentle slope down to the dock was fine for my mom to handle. We enjoyed the dockside table and the girls made sure they enjoyed s’mores in the fire pit most nights. The year round neighbors are kind and will enjoy talking about their latest catch and give suggestions on places to check out. The house itself could use some TLC. Some water damage noted in the ceilings, smoke alarms missing and hot water was at times fickle. Non of these warranted a call or text to the owners but I’m sure they would have had solutions for a couple of the stated items had I asked. The main floor is charming and the kitchen is well stocked with bowls, pans, plates ect. This was nice since we made most of the meals due to Covid. One suggestion I would have would be to have a place in each room to to able to unpack. One room has a nice dresser but the other two rooms did not. The closets hold owners personal items and made it necessary to live out of our suitcases for the week. Honestly if that was my biggest issue of the week I call it a successful vacation!

Will def stay here again!

The house needs some TLC but we had a great time. Enjoyed the water, fire pit and we barbecued. We had a small issue with the kitchen faucet but DJ called me right away and we got it fixed immediately. Stairs to second floor are steep so I chose to use the downstairs bedroom. I recommended a way to get in and out of the lake easier and DJ said she's working on that now. I also had trouble with the TV as I'm not familiar with Hulu and couldn't get any live TV. I didn't get a good first impression so I gave it 4 stars.

Loved kayaking in the lake. Weather was perfect. Large bedrooms for two adult children and us. Common space not huge but do-able. Nice to have TV in each room for down time.

We had a nice time at the property, DJ was very responsive to questions. The pictures are representative of the house and lake. We spent most of our time sitting down by the lake, swimming, kayaking and using the fire pit.

Nice getaway...will return for sure!

Nice quiet location. Kayaks were great to have for the family. Dining space is somewhat limited but worked well for the four of us.

A couple of things to note about the property, which we share primarily for the benefit of those with children like ourselves: 1) House does have two bathrooms but one of the bathrooms has the water heater, washer and dryer inside of it, and 2nd is not located in the master bedroom, its down the hall and shared with another bedroom 2) The house is at the very backside of a cove so there is a lot of debris, dead fish, snakes near the dock and in the water. Neighbor warned my kids about swimming given all the snakes near the property (he killed a copperhead on his path while we were there). So we didn't find it conducive to kids swimming off the dock. The dock is very old and needs to be replaced. It has loose boards and nails sticking out. We were able to take the kayaks out to further up the cove and just swim off of our kayaks in the body of the lake cove 3) House is in need of some love and care - for example, kitchen sink faucet didn't work after a few days, so we had to get water for drinking and cooking from the bathroom. We also found a scorpion in the kitchen! 4) There is a drainage path that goes through the backyard which creates a big area of mud, algae, and still water that we had to keep the kids/dogs away from 5) Lastly, we had a lot of issues when we first got there - trash, broken outdoor furniture, broken fire pit, and dead armadillo in the yard that greeted us upon our arrival. We called owner and she had cleaning crew come out and remedied most of this quickly We asked for a partial refund, which the owner did not want to provide, but agreed to while we were there. The Owner later refused to issue the refund and kept our security deposit, saying our dogs made a mess of the house. That was not the case--we were very careful to keep the dogs outside or crated when inside. We found ways to make the best of our stay, but you could definitely find much better options.

We had to evacuate our county due to a mandatory evacuation from hurricane Dorian. We were very anxious to find a place for my family and are grateful for DJ allowing us to stay at her home. She was very responsive to our needs.

I would definitely recommend this property and its owners! Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

We had a wonderful time at Lake Oconee, the house was vet clean with a very well equipped kitchen. We made use of the kayaks and had many fun hours on the lake. Our dog also spent many hours swimming in the lake, she had a wonderful time. My only two minor issues with the property were. There was no where to sit and eat outside. Am outdone table would have been great. The other minor issue was having to take trash to the collection point. We had to do a couple of trash runs during our trip which was not ideal, but I realize it is part of being in a fairly secluded area., Overall we had a great time and would be happy to return.

Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and pretty views from the backyard made this a nice weekend getaway.

Let me preface my review- This was our first Father's Day without my husband and I was looking for a nice rental to get away for the weekend with my two children. We live about an hour away from Lake Oconee and wanted somewhere easily accessible for my son to come to after he left work on Friday afternoon. Sunset Cove is called sunset cove for a reason. The sunsets were beautiful- but that is about all. When my daughter and I first arrived at the rental, we were rather shocked. The driveway and the walkway to the door were both covered in debris from the rain we had had earlier that week. It was everywhere. Wasn't someone supposed to clean before we came? Moving forward, we get the key and walk inside and are hit with a horrible musty smell that makes it very clear that no one has been inside this house in a while. We take a look around before unpacking the car. There were bugs along the shoe molding in the living room along with scatter rugs EVERYWHERE. And not carpet material- shag material. Scatter rugs are a hazard first of all and second.. dirty! Since the house was far out (we knew this from reviews) we brought all of our food with us. We planned to grill, and did, but the grill had not been cleaned. There were particles of food left on it. We cleaned it with the metal brush that was laying on the ground (darn. we didnt think to bring one of those..the raving reviews had us thinking this wouldn't be a problem) only to figure out the metal bristles fell out of the brush and went all over the grill. We made do, cleaned it off and continued with our plans. My family is big into Braves baseball- we watch the games every night. As we were preparing dinner Friday night, we went to turn the game on. Much to our surprise, no cable? What? This was advertised as an amenity? I sent a text to DJ and received a text back roughly 3 hours later stating, "No cable...sorry." Bummer. One more thing to add to the list, right? There are many other things that I could write up about this rental including the leak under the sink, the broken sliding glass door to the back yard, etc but word count won't let me do so. Bottom line- save your money or find another place. Previous reviews must have come from close family and friends because they were 200% a fluke. P.S.- If that was too many negatives, one positive would be comfortable beds :) P.S.S- We were "slightly" miserable so we left a day early.

Relaxed house, no hiccups with host!

Not a knock against the property, but I would advise you to bring your groceries for your entire stay with you. There's a Citgo station just a few miles away, but they don't have much to choose from for groceries (besides hotdogs). It does have fishing bait (livers, worms, crickets, minnows). The closest grocery store is about 45 mins away. Nice public park 2 miles from the house to launch a boat, and to fish at.

We had a great time. It is far away from many things but that is what we wanted. Very clean. Beds comfortable. Owner responded fast to any questions. Great place.

The house was exactly as described. We didn't want to leave. The backyard feels very private. Perfect location for a family vacation, relaxing, the kayaks were great, and hours were spent swimming and fishing (caught several large catfish) right off the dock. The master bedroom is an oasis, had to force ourselves downstairs in the morning. Thank you for sharing your home. We will be back for sure.

This cabin has everything you need. The owner is very responsive and the cabin is clean and all of the beds are comfortable perfect location in a cove so waves on the dock are minimal. I will definitely rent from DJ again..

Great house,we may return here again😉
