Accommodated our large group. Pool was amazing! Had one small hiccup at check in which lead to getting in house later, but manager was on top of things and got it fixed! Overall a great stay and will be back hopefully!
Our engineering organization from UF chose this incredible property for our annual social trip, and it couldnât have been a better experience. We took full advantage of the sunshine and amenitiesâspending most of our time outside enjoying the pool, the lake, and the open field for games. The house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our large group, which kept everyone happy throughout the stay. As the perfect finishing touch, we got to watch our Gator basketball team win their way into the NCAA championshipâan unforgettable highlight that made the trip even more memorable.
My husband and I rented this house for our 10 year anniversary and planned to host a vow renewal ceremony on the property. I had been in contact with Chris many times leading up to our stay and he always
seemed very helpful untill we actually arrived for our stay
This was a great setting for an outdoor wedding! We set up tables and chairs on the lawn next to the water and had a beautiful sunset wedding.
The pool/hot tub was a popular hangout place for everyone.
Property management was easy to coordinate with prior to arrival and very helpful if we needed anything during our stay.
Large house, gorgeous views, lots of space, beautiful guest house, fun light up pool and spa with fountains, dock and boat lift. Here for husband's 50th and anticipation of granddaughter's birth. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to come again!
We had about 30 people in our group and this house was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great features to have along with the dock and small beach. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. Chris communicated well about the house along with providing ground rules to follow during the stay. The amenities were very nice. I would stay here again.
First and foremost, Iâve never dealt with someone that took less accountability for a property they owned. We wouldnât go back, we wonât recommend it to anyone, and all adults will be leaving Google reviews. The property had trash all in the front yard, stack of wood, sprinkler heads missing with water shooting everywhere. The back lawn hadnât been mowed and the deck was under construction with no safety restraints, and no warnings from the owner. We didnât have electricity on the first floor room for two days, and the upstairs main thermostat was down until the last night of our stay. The property manager agreed to a slap in the face discount of $800. We will dispute the stay as I said with my CC, as well as VRBO.
Great stay! The host was easy to communicate with and extremely understanding!! I would recommend to any large group. The property was very spacious. We especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub.
We had the best time and really enjoyed the layout! The pool was a massive hit for the kids and adults alike. Perfect location to so many things! Chris & Crystal weâre so communicative and very helpful. Weâll be back if we need a place that houses that many people again for sure!
We had a beautiful wedding experience at The Manor on the Bay. Chris and his staff were very helpful before, during and after our events. The house was clean and spacious and there were plenty of rooms and beds for our entire wedding party. The pool area was beautiful at night. The lawn had several options to set up for our rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception. It was very convenient to host every part of the wedding weekend at one place. I highly recommend Chrisâ house for your special event.
We had a wonderful stay at the Manor! My now wife and I were in town to get married at my folks house, not too far away. The house was a perfect spot for us to have friends and family that came in from out of town. Chris was an excellent host and very communicative! I also want to commend crystal and her team for their hard work on the day that we checked in. I know they had a quick turnaround the day we checked in and she did an amazing job.
Thank you all for everything!!
Chris did a fantastic job delivering what is promised in the listing! We had a beautiful wedding at the rental and the most fun weekend ever thanks to his ready and willingness to help and provide the best for us!
Our stay was great! Accommodated our large group perfectly and was in a great location for traveling to the beach and other surrounding areas.
The house was very spacious and comfortable. Pool/hot tub was amazing and the dock into the channel with a small beach was a treat!
Chris and Crystal both made the trip a breeze and were both easy to work with and quick to respond.
Highly recommend staying here if looking in the area, it was a blast!
Our stay at this time was awesome! Accommodated our pets and 20 family members. We had a great time! The bay beach access and dock for our boat was a great bonus! Would definitely contact Chris to stay again. Also, the house manager Crystal was so helpful and so quick to respond to anything we needed handled.
The property manager was professional, courteous, and she gave us her cell number to call her if we had any questions. It has it all from the dock on the bay, small beach, and a amazing pool. The inside was plenty roomy, clean, all the dishes, silverware, pots and pans. This house has it all!!! Rent this one you won't be disappointed!!!
This property was great for our large family get together. The pool turned out to be the center of activity. The large size accommodated the entire family. Grandkids were able to enjoy lots of quality time with all their cousins, aunts and uncles! The adults really like the boat dock with high diving area. Didn't need the beach as this property offered everything the family desired for a wonderful week together.
Loved the property, especially the pool/spa. It looked like there were still some items that needed to be finished, but it did not affect our stay at all. Chris and Rian were also very friendly and helpful during our stay!
My group and I were very satisfied with our stay. The property as well as its amenities were perfect for our stay. Each of the houses were very clean and provided plenty of space for our large group. Chris, the owner, was a fantastic host. He provided us with anything that we needed to make our stay more enjoyable. The pool and spa appeared to be brand new, and included and abundance of features. Also, the double decker dock provided a great space for relaxation. Overall, the house and location were perfect for our large group. My group and I would defiantly recommend this place to any large group looking for a relaxing vacation.
We stayed in Fort Walton Beach for a Ladies Retreat and rented out the entire property for a very large group. Check in was wonderful and Chris was very attentive to our needs. We loved watching the dolphins on the dock and enjoying the large living/dining room with our group. I would recommend this property to anyone.
