Great stay

The host is extremely responsive! With a hello text once you’re in the house. House was 100% a great place to stay! Just a trip tip, remember that October is well into hurricane season!! Don’t be like us and plan your trip between two major hurricanes! All the beaches were closed or you could not access them. Mother Nature had other plans for us, having to evacuate before hurricane Milton hit.

Clean, quiet, comfortable.

House and host were very accommodating. Kids loved the pool, host was very responsive to messages. Beds were very comfortable and neighborhood was silent. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this gem.

Perfect!

I was beyond happy to find this gem online and we were not disappointed in any way when we arrived! Traveling with 3 teenagers can sometimes be...trying at minimum. But this property allowed everyone their space and freedom to relax in the pool, living spaces or rooms comfortably. The kitchen was large and allowed us to prepare many meals together, but also visit in a relaxed "at home" atmosphere. The master bed was SUPER comfy and all the linens were high quality. I almost don't want to share too much, because I want this gem to stay under the radar!! Thank you, thank you for sharing this prime property!

Lovely home

After a little hiccup checking in we very much enjoyed this beautiful home and would absolutely recommend this home if you’re in the area! Great attention to detail! We had everything we needed and then some. The welcome gift box was a nice surprise too! Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Great home!

We were 6 adults staying here for the weekend and we were very comfortable - did not feel crowded at all. The neighborhood is beautiful and the home is as well. We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai and using the pool. The house has everything that you need, just unpack and enjoy. Very clean. All weekend long, everybody commented on what a great house it was.
