The property was really nice and very clean. Great place to stay, right on the water, great patio and sitting area outside, and nice landscaping/flowers/etc. The host was great and accommodating for our check-in. A/C worked great and plenty of space for many people inside. We have stayed in a few places in Pateros over the years and this is one of the best we have had.

Great stay!

The property was great, it felt much larger than it looks in the photos. The description is accurate, there are a few quirks with it being an older house, but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. Overall we had a great time and were so happy with booking this property!

House is nice but I was unable to get the air conditioning to work. There was supposed to be beach towels in the hallway but there weren’t any. Communication was not as fast as I thought it would be between myself and the owners. Pretty area and it served my needs.

Photos and description were largely accurate. The coffee maker had a few cob webs but just hadn’t been used recently. The kitchen pans are all small and make cooking for everyone inconvenient. No cooking essentials like oil, sugar, salt, butter so come prepared. The kitchen also didn’t have stocked paper towels. The bathrooms and bedrooms were all nice and stocked and clean. Parking is no problem even with two boats. Be aware there is a siren that goes off during fire season which may wake people up, but that isn’t an issue with the listing per se. AC needs to be reset daily. Foosball table is broke and needs some maintenance. Property is conveniently located with well kept yards. Dock is nice but water may drop and leave a boat dry so monitor flow rates. Park across the bay is perfect for kids. Backyard is big, beautiful, full of shade and seating. BBQ is nice. Outdoor fans work nicely as well as the garden hose for cleaning or rinsing coolers/equipment. Dining area is large to fit many guests and has nice chairs. Host offered additional nights when availability came up which was very nice as I had inquired previously on additional availability. We cleaned the house, took out the garbage, and started the dishes and laundry as requested.

nice place to stay 1/2 hour from Gamble Sands (the purpose of our trip). A/c works great. Showers are OK but worked fine. TV worked great once we figured out the volume issue…(we were watching WC games when at home base)…
