Nice place in great location

This is a good property in many respects but has one major drawback for seniors (which we are). There is a large step-up from the front/kitchen room into the bedroom. This could be dangerous at night causing a fall onto the hard Mexican tile floor. Otherwise the property is excellent.

Perfectly relaxing

This was the perfect spot for a few days of relaxation. Just a short Uber ride to beaches and downtown. The bed was comfy, the space was perfect and the pool area was very private and secluded. Felt like we were at our own private resort. The only downside was the pool was very cold so we never got in it, but it looked beautiful and was very relaxing to sit outside. We enjoyed the beaches and downtown as well.

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The 1-bedroom was exactly as advertised, clean, and had everything we needed- including a cooler and beach chairs. The property is beautifully landscaped as well making it a little oasis, which was an added bonus. We had a slight issue with the keypad part way through our stay that was immediately addressed by the hosts. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by FERNEY LOPEZ

My name is Ferney Lopez and my wife (Geovanna) and I love to travel. If I were to retire today I would spend most of my time traveling and trying different foods from around the world. Since I can't afford that luxury yet, I'm a web designer/graphic designer by trade. My wife is a paralegal and real estate agent.

Why they chose this property

We have stayed in enough places to know what people like and want from their vacation experience. When we purchased Vieja Escuela we knew that it would be a success because its proximity to the airport, downtown, restaurants, beaches and other entertainment venues. We fell in love with the charm and character of this house and wanted to turn it into a vacation paradise. What gives this home its character are all the rustic features and decor to match it. We understand that many people want to experience the latest technology and shiny new floors and amenities, but there's something about the imperfections of old home that make it alluring.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to shops, entertainment and restaurants make this place a great choice for families. We have paid attention to detail when selecting the furniture so that it would compliment the Spanish-style home. The pool renovation has really brought the house to life so that our guests can enjoy Florida's beautiful weather.
