Reviews

• Great vacation home for a larger family

  5/5

  This home is definitely a gem for the price. It looks freshly redone with a lot of thought put into details.

  KITCHEN:

  Well-equipped with a high-tech dishwasher, a variety of utensils, spices, dishes, even a blender and mixer! Beautiful setup with a counter in the middle for everyone to mingle while cooking. Awesome LG laundry machine and drier! ISSUES: Dishwasher was a little tricky to operate, needs some instructions. Dish washing cubes were only 2 for our 5 day stay.

  LIVING, DINING, and BED ROOMS:

  Living room had TV, couches, board games in a seat by the door (we didn't find the right away), large dining table with many chairs. Beds and pillows were comfy. Plenty of towels in the closet. We loved the fact that you can adjust temperature to your liking in every bedroom! ISSUES: Living room pretty dark in the evening, no enough lamps or not bright enough. TV pretty small and low-set when we played family games. The fuse blew and electricity went off in the living room a few times because for some reason it gets overloaded specifically in that area when devices are charging and TV is on. The living and dining areas are relatively small for a large group of people. But we are a tight-knit family, so it was ok for us.

  POOL and OUTDOORS:

  Beautiful outdoor sitting areas with a gorgeous view of the canal where you can catch a view of pelicans, cranes or fish jumping. We used dining table and couch. Took us a bit how to operate the little fire-pit table, but it is definitely nice to have. Pool was well-heated, not always clean due to shedding of the beautiful palm trees near the couch, but hey, we'll take that. There was cleaning equipment in the shed that we used. Also in the shed were some pool toys. beach chairs and swim vests. 2 kayaks and a paddle board were available. Golf cart and bikes were absolutely great to have! ISSUES: Pool was way to deep for us as we are not the best swimmers. 8 feet deep, probably great for diving, but it goes deep almost immediately. Didn't like that at all. One of the kayaks didn't have seats. Lights by the swimming pool were on all night, didn't know how to turn them off. The pool area is accessible from the street, no fence on one side.

  LOCATION is impeccable - only a few minutes away from the beach by foot or bike, near several restaurants, bars, and even a cute ice cream place.

  This home is also PET friendly (dogs and cats).

  We had a great time! Would recommend and book again. Thank you so much!

• Great house and great location!! Some minor concerns.

  5/5

  We loved our stay for our bachelorette party trip! The location is perfect, really easy access to the beach and local restaurants. It was also very easy to get Ubers in the area. The golf cart makes quick trips really easy, and it was so nice having Publix close by. The house was a great size for a big group, with lots of space and seating. The three full bathrooms also made a huge difference.

  We loved the pool and got to see dolphins in the canal!!

  We did have some minor plumbing concerns with one of the toilets, but a handyman came and fixed it relatively quickly - we were very thankful for the help, but would’ve appreciated a bit more notice before the handyman arrived. We weren’t told he was coming until he was already at the door.

  There were only a few concerns with the house - we were never able to find sheets or pillows for the pullout bed, we did bring this concern to the owner but were not given a solution. The house was also mostly clean, but the coffee pot had not been cleaned or emptied when we arrived.

  Overall, would definitely recommend this house!

• Family getaway. Mom's 80th BD

  5/5

  Great location. Perfect for plan for 9 adults and 2 children. Had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! Glof cart was so helpful. Couldn't have gone to beach with mom and dad without it. Pool was perfect at the end of the day. Couldn't have asked for more

• Location and golf cart!

  4/5

  Our stay was great! We were 2 blocks from the beach with a really handy and fun golf cart! The big dining room table and open set-up was great for our party of 9 friends. One thing that should be noted is that 2 of the 3 bathrooms are only accessible through bedrooms.

  We had a few minor issues when we arrived, and the property manager was helpful. Unfortunately, one of them was that the pool was being shocked, which knocked it out of commission for 24 hours and the follow-up on a refund has taken several weeks and still isn't settled.

  Other than that issue our stay was seamless.
