We stayed here for the Sun n Fun airshow and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The house was clean and so easy to find. We will definitely book here again next year!

Place was great. Perfect for bringing our dogs. The back yard was huge and fenced. Clean and ready for us.

Lots of bugs! Bad business.

Cute if you’re only staying a couple days. I was there almost 3 weeks and ran into several issues. The AC unit had a hard time keeping up with the Florida heat, so it was hot, there was mold on the shower curtain (I’m allergic), the old floors are uneven, I kept getting bit by mosquitoes and other bugs! You can tell this century old house had minimal repairs/ updates before putting on VRBO, but nicely decorated inside. Several days after I arrived I came back to find thousands of flies swarming the front and back doors, so I could not even enter the house without flies getting in. Then the foul stench! It permeated the interior of the entire little house. It was a couple of days before the owner got someone to remove what turned out to be a large dead possum under the house, and he was going to wait 3 days for his regular maintenance person, even after he came out and saw and smelled the situation! He finally sent someone and I could hear the poor exterminator outside heaving & upchucking. It was pretty gross and must have been really bad. I was not offered any discount or other compensation or even an apology for the trouble. Instead, Drew, decided to contact me a week AFTER I checked out, to tell me the house required a deep cleaning, for which he’s planning to charge me, which is not true at all. I stayed there almost 3 weeks, and paid for cleaning. I wasn’t going to leave this review, until Drew tried to overcharge me, after all the issues I experienced. Bad business
