Everything was wonderful and just how described in the listing. The seclusion and privacy were exceptional—yet still so very close to beaches, restaurants, sights, stores, etc. If you get sick of the sand, crowds, and heat you can take a day off from the surf scene and really just chilllll out on the pond. I’m a huge lake person and the pond is now in my “Top 5” lifetime list. Crystal clear, cool water. Quiet, peaceful, restorative. The best floating spot ever! (We were skeptical about this before we arrived, but no hype, it’s legit!) The dock was great for hanging out, and the two quality kayaks and a family rowboat were clean and ready to go. Take Bonney’s advice and secure your items. We temporarily lost two items to the deep pond—luckily my husband is an experienced anchorman and we were able to retrieve both of them using a hook and rope by sheer skill and experience. The bedrooms had great mattresses and the kitchen was well stocked and great for cooking, with all newer appliances. And before I forget—the gorgeous flora and fauna all around and scrub oak forest ecosystem, viewed through the giant glass windows and on walks down the private drive
and road, are also spectacular. Nathan and Bonney were clear communicators and had everything ready for us. This is our fourth family trip to South County and this place is definitely our favorite so far as far as accommodations go. We really hope to return next summer!
