Perfect little place on the lake
We loved our stay at Poplar Point. It’s located in a gated community with a golf course and restaurant, Copper’s that we went to one night. The villa/townhouse has a wonderful view of the lake that we took full advantage of for morning coffee and later cocktails So peaceful! I didn’t want to leave! We stayed here the weekend we moved our daughter out of her dorm at AU. It’s about a 40 minute drive to Auburn. The beds are comfy and the kitchen has what you need for a weekend stay. The neighbors are friendly too. Wish we could have stayed longer to use the lake. Staying here makes me want a house/condo on a lake!

Wonderful Get-Away - Condo in Need of Some TLC
Frank and Nick are fantastic to work with, very responsive and even had a boat available for us while we were there checking out the lake. We had a wonderful time and would stay with them again. With that said, condo is showing its age. It could use some new paint and a thorough cleaning. We like to cook and had to wash some dishes before using. However, this particular condo would not keep us from coming back - Enjoyable stay.

Great outdoor area
Three friends just getting together for an Auburn game - this place was perfect to get away and relax at a fair price within a short drive of Auburn. The outdoor deck area was very relaxing as you were under a canopy of trees and right on the water.

Fantastic quick get away.
We had the best time at Nicks property! The property has a large covered deck that we spent a large amount of time on! The inside was well stocked and clean. The kitchen, although a little on the small side had everything you could need. Nick was very helpful with every question we had and also helped us with several recommendations for local restaurants (Poplar Dawgs was our favorite fyi!). We had a small problem with the living room TV which turned out to be user error (we had the wrong input selected) but Nick came over within 10 minutes just to make sure everything was good. We have already booked again for another stay in November!

Time away!!
The setting is gorgeous and the porch on the water is unparalleled! I don't usually give bad reviews and generally try to keep an open mind. However the unit, especially the bathrooms are outdated and in need of some TLC. In addition the unit smelled musty. These are all things that can be corrected easily and without spending too much (shower curtains were grimy and gross). The lock on the front door does not work properly, which made getting in and out of the unit a hassle. In addition the property manager was completely unresponsive. I emailed before our arrival, I texted and I send messages via the app and got no response. This is very unprofessional. I have been renting and staying in VRBO rentals for a long time and I had never had this issue. The beautiful location and the amazing porch definitely saved the day!!

Relaxing weekend at the lake
My friends and I enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and it was nice to have access to the water. One review we read said the paddle board and kayak weren’t there, but we found them in the drainage area under the porch and although they aren’t brand new condition, we were able to use them so that was nice. Overall, we were pleased and I would recommend it for a nice relaxing weekend at the lake.

Beautiful setting
Overall, this was an excellent choice for us. It is a great location, the house is cute, and it fit our needs nicely. We loved the lake and the fact that it is in a gated community. Just a few things that could have been better: the TV's in the bedrooms did not work properly. One didn't work at all, and the one in the master we could not change the channels. There were a couple broken chairs on the deck, and it listed 2 kayaks with the property that were not there. There were not many bath towels and very little hand soap. Also only one kitchen towel. Being a little less stingy on these things would make the experience better. However, all in all, our experience was great and if we come back to the area, would rent again.

Our stay at Lake Martin was so much FUN! The new back deck was our favorite spot to hang with family. We all enjoyed swimming by the dock and the trees provided the perfect amount of shade. The beds were comfy and street was quiet and peaceful. The boat rental made for the perfect week!! We hope to be back next summer!

Weekend getaway
Enjoyed our weekend getaway. It’s not far from home. Everything was lovely. The weather was gloomy and we wished the fireplace was operable. That was one of the reasons for picking that spot. It’s a two tier; not a three tier deck as shown in picture unless you include balcony from room).

Great place for visiting Auburn
We needed a place to stay over the weekend of an Auburn football game. It's about 30 minutes from Auburn but a very easy drive so wasn't inconvenient. Two bedrooms with full bath upstairs. The kitchen is a bit small but has a full refrigerator and we only did takeout so just fine for morning coffee. The back porch that overlooks the lake is really terrific. Such a beautiful, scenic view in a great neighborhood. We had a little trouble getting in because I didn't clearly read the instructions to go to the main gate. Visitors can't get in the back gate. The lock on the front door also isn't 100% flush so you have to pull on the door to make it work. Also not sure why (no bad weather) but the electricity went off for several hours which was kind of a pain but obviously not the fault of the owner because it was out in the area. Overall, it was a great place and we would absolutely stay there again. We just loved the area and the owner was very responsive.

VRBO should not rent units with roaches in the kitchen, heavily stained carpet, & dirty shelf liner.
The water view was nice. The unit was visibly old/worn, there were many many carpet stains, the roaches & ants in the kitchen sink made me feel like the place was filthy, and shelf liners were stained & dirty. My wife and I were eager to leave.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Jul 2022
Paul I am very sorry to hear that you were eager to leave, I was not aware that you were dissatisfied when we spoke on the phone during your stay at the property, had I know I would have worked diligently to solve whatever issues we might have. Our goal is for all of our guest to have a fantastic visit to Lake Martin and your experience is definitely not our normal response. We do have a professional cleaning service as well monthly pest control and have asked them both to provide an additional service to be proactive.

Check in process was super easy. We went for a short visit during the week and it caught us by surprise a lot of the lakefront restaurants were closed. Overall the property is nice, but can use a good deep clean and especially a good pressure wash on the outside deck.

Like the location. Place does need some updates, that others mentioned. The recent back porch cover was a nice addition. All together, worth the price. Only comical grievance was the shower head is 5ft tall.
