Good but could have been better
The house was beautiful and conveniently located and the pool was great but, furniture was broken, toilet was broke, no sofa bed as described and shown. No bikes as described. Needed outside rat problem taken care of. We would stay again if items were addressed.

Family Vacation for 8
House was amazing. Lots of rooms, kids room on top floor was perfect for our 8 year old. Location to beach was so great. 4 minutes golf cart ride was all it took. Only negative was that the appliances did not all work great. Ice machine didn't work, first floor bathroom kept running. There were no bikes like the listing said but the property manager did agree to reimburse us for rentals

Great House
We enjoyed a family vacation for 10 of us. The house has plenty of space. The alarms are annoying, but we understand why you have them. We loved the kitchen and grill. You have every dish that is needed to cook almost everything. The house was clean and well maintained.

Great Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time and plenty of space. With the additional guest house everyone had their own space but plenty of room for hanging out as well. Pool was great. Some of the extras like the pool table and ping pong were old and worn but did the job to occupy time.

Beautiful home. Much time and thought put into decor. Was extremely appreciated the ambiance of musi
The ease of checking in and the numerous text communications with important information was great. The follow up text to be assured we had found everything comfortable. Our family joining us were over whelmed with appreciation for the home and its location. Thank you for fulfilling a dream vacation. The space for all ten senior adults great. We Koved our visit.

Family Vacation
This property was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect. They have this house supplied with everything you can think of. Only thing that needs to be checked out is the property golf cart. The golf cart ran fine from Friday to Monday. We didn’t get any use of it on Tuesday and Wednesday, I’m not sure what the issue was because we kept it on the charger but it wouldn’t even make it out of the neighborhood before it would die. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again myself. We loved it and enjoyed every second of our time there.

Family trip 2023
Golf cart broke down in the middle of traffic, golf cart flat tire at the beach, pool lights worked the 1st night then never turned back on, cockroaches all throughout the house, middle floor twin bed held together by electrical tape (bed broke), refrigerator leaks water and we kept stepping into a puddle, alarm system on main door consistently went off in the day and middle of the night! House looks great but never again.. We beach house in Jax and we held the same expectations that our guest expect. This was a disappointment.

Great space, just needs some updating and TLC
This house was very spacious and worked out great for having all our family in one spot. Had 10 adults children and 4 grandkids. Large family space and loved the area and amenities. Many items in the home need updated and fixed. The management was great. Loved having a golf cart and we even rented another one.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We began planning this trip in 2021. We wanted a place that offered lots to do for all ages and this place did not disappoint. The only bummer was the weather. But, the cold weather made the beach sunsets even more breathtaking. We made many memories!

Great sized house with good location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of seven adults and three kids stayed at El Casa Grande for six days over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's tough to find a rental house with enough space, good layout (rooms that fit each family group), large enough living and dining space for our group at a reasonable price, and this house was perfect for our needs. The living area is so spacious, we were able to hang out there around the pool table and play games sitting in the tv/living area. The location is 3/4 mile from the beach so adults who wanted to could walk, and it was an easy golf cart ride for the kids. There are plenty of restaurants and activities within a 10 minute drive. There were a handful of things in poor condition when we arrived, a broken fooseball table and pool cue, some faucets that would leak unless you got them exactly right, drains that all needed drain, and other issues in the same vein, but none of them really interfered with our enjoyment of the house. If you stay in the cooler months, definitely pay for the pool heat!

Family with Babies vacation
It was easy to book and they keep you informed. This house was definitely good for a family of all ages. There was things there for all even the babies. They had things for the pool and beach and kitchen fully equipped. We felt like home away from home. Clean and plenty of space. You just have to be ok with stairs to the other 2 floors up. No pest!
