Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay The house was clean and when we did have an issue with the dryer the property manager was quick to make it right and have someone come check it out. The ramp outside made it easy for my older mother in law to get in and out with no stairs. ##### scott C. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan H. May 6, 2024 #### LOVED THIS OASIS! We had 8 adults who were looking for a quiet relaxing vacation and this was THE PERFECT location! Neighborhood was very quiet and the view of the bay was top notch! Lots of wildlife action in the bay! Spent most of the time lounging in the pool watching the water! Close enough to the beach! Perfect! ##### Megan H. ### 8/10 Good #### April A. Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spring break Overall, everything was good. The property was clean. I really couldn’t complain about anything because things that I noticed have already been specified in other reviews, like no small pots for cooking and knobs on doors missing. Other than small things like that, my family enjoyed being there. Thank you for having us at your property. ##### April A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### angela h. Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Vacation for 11 The septic was leaking after 1st day. It doesn't have 4.5 bathrooms as stated. The dock is not accessible for boat nor water. Other than that it was great. ##### angela h. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Deb H. Jul 27, 2025 #### Stay Away from Oars Away The multiple problems with this location offset the few things we liked. Overall terrible experience. Will never consider a VACASA property in the future. ##### Deb H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily B. Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family friendly house! We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home! The location is fantastic - close to everything, yet still peaceful. The interior is beautifully decorated and felt very welcoming, and the cleanliness was top-notch (bonus points for Dove toiletries). The dock is a nice place to relax by the water, but we were a bit disappointed that there was no access in and out of the bay. If that is not a priority for you, this place is pretty close to perfect. Overall, a great stay, and we'd definitely consider coming back! ##### Emily B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeremy W. Mar 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The property itself was great!!!! Had some small issues like, no small pots, handles on closets missing or loose and no mop. ##### Jeremy W. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina S. Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Nice place. Pool was fantastic. Fenced yard was great. Beds were comfortable. The elevator didn’t work, but there was a wagon that we put our stuff in to load up and down. ##### Christina S.

The home is extremely roomy with space for a large group. The pool is perfect for cooling off and getting some sun. The porch is amazing, as well as the view. Quiet neighborhood and full of wildlife, alligators, pelicans,and a special crane that likes to visit on the dock! Many comfy places to read and work puzzles. Wonderful kitchen. ##### TAMMY H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jarrod H. Sep 27, 2023 #### Great getaway The house is very clean and well equipped. Quiet and has everything you need to just wind down and relax. Fenced yard for the dog and sun room with a/c were nice touches. Pool and pier were great for our son swimming and fishing. ##### Jarrod H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Williams Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Williams-Lake-Hotels.d4112.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Interlaken](https://www.expedia.ca/Interlaken-Hotels.d6052439.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Penticton](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels.d4135.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Scottsdale-Hotels.d9829.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kilkenny](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilkenny-Hotels.d8298.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Brentwood-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1077147.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barcelona EDITION](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-The-Barcelona-EDITION.h25838055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Breakfast in Brandon](https://www.expedia.ca/Brandon-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Breakfast.0-0-d3902-tHotelswithFreeBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in West End](https://www.expedia.ca/West-End-London-Hotels.0-n6144914-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Miramichi](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramichi-Hotels.d6141062.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels.0-n6057885-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Santa Marta](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Marta-Hotels.d3221.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Columbus (CMH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cmh/toronto-to-columbus) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Sault Ste.
