Canalfront Retreat w/ Heated Pool & Hot Tub!

Reviews

• Wonderful staycation!

  5/5

  We had an amazing staycation at this property. We only came from 90 minutes away and packed way more than necessary. The home was beautiful, extremely clean and well stocked with anything/everything you could possibly need. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and the huge fenced in backyard made it the perfect place for our fur baby to celebrate her 6th birthday. Everyone that we worked with in booking our trip was very helpful and responsive. There is a Publx in very close proximity to the home for an easy trip to the grocery store. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be looking for an opportunity to visit again soon!

• Very clean, welcoming and comfortable with lots of entertainment options!

  5/5

  We thoroughly enjoyed the access to the kayaks, dock, tandem bikes and a huge selection of movies! The hot tub was very clean and definitely helped me to relax! Kiddo enjoyed the pool and the hundred pool toys that were left - we had a lot of fun throwing the beach ball back and forth and catching each other off guard with the water guns! There was also a lot of different equipment we could use for cooking, we're grateful that there was so much to do in case anyone got bored. We had an excellent host with a warm welcome (and a cold bottle of wine!) Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

• Best organized home ever!

  5/5

  This was the best organized home we have ever stayed at and we have stayed at too many vacation homes to count. Everything you can absolutely imagine was at our fingertips! And to crown it all, everything is labeled and easy to find. There was not only TV's, but videos cassettes galore, a record player with actual OLD records and CSD's, all the cutlery and crockery you would ever need and everything you can image you would need for children from birth to teenagers - including bikes, boogie boards, games and kayaks, bassinettes and playpens. I must admit, the only thing I could not find was a wheelchair - not that it was needed! The pool is heated and is a saltwater pool and the hot tub is brand new. There is a huge birdfeeder with lots of bird food and we saw egrets, cardinals, hornbills, woodpeckers, squirrels, rabbits, and jumping fish and we are sure we heard an alligator one night. The pool and hot tub is completely screened in and they yard is securely fenced and gated. A lovely touch was the welcome card and the gift basket. A pleasant surprise was being able to park our car in the garage. Guests have access to everything in this rustic, obviously well-loved home. We will be back!

• Relaxing, pleasant stay in quiet neighborhood with plenty of amenities

  5/5

  This property is as described and true to the photos. It was clean, well equipped, and in good condition. The owners provide a bunch of extra amenities that you might need but can't afford to bring. The hot tub worked well, the beds were comfortable, and they had all the kitchen items we needed. They also had items for smaller children, which we did not use but would be convenient for parents of small children. We appreciated the shower chair, blender, welcome package and plenty of information. There were a lot of birds and squirrels using the feeders. The house is a little older, so don't expect an ultra modern setup, and some light fixtures could use a dusting but things were clean and tidy. The only thing we would clarify is that the swim spa is not the type that generates a current for you to swim against, but like a normal pool just smaller/shallower. The pool was warm and very pleasant to use. On another note the Florida Spirit SW / Evolve management team provided good communication before and after. We did a have an entry code issue upon arrival, but they answered our call right away and remedied the situation promptly. We would recommend this property and would stay here again.

  We'll remind our cleaning staff to dust the ceiling fans/lights and fixtures.
  We hope to host you again in the future!"
