Great host- we loved the pool and house was clean and had all of the essentials. It was great they provided beach towels since we flew there (less to pack). Also lots of beach items available- chairs, buckets, wagon, coolers etc

The house was just like the listing photos. Very clean with lots of extras, like sunscreen and beach toys (even bags to carry it all in!), and a decently equipped kitchen. The pool was lovely, perfect for our family.

The house was as expected except the pool. The property is nice and private in a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood about 15-20 minutes from AMI.The listing has it as a saltwater pool but upon confirming my suspicions with the pool guy the pool now has turned to chlorine pool because salt cellar is broken and the owner has decided not to fix it yet. We were very disappointed as we were looking to utilize it for the therapeutic benefits and so this was the tie breaker for all the 4 houses that were contenders when we booked. The house was nicely stocked with essentials in the kitchen such as dishes, appliances, spices and sugar, coffee, tea, cleaning supplies, plenty of beach towels and gear. It was nice not to have to worry about overpacking for our stay. I really appreciated the use of the garage to pull my vehicle in. The owner was great at communication and this made it an easy process to check in and out. I will consider coming back when the pool is fixed. Thanks

Hi Salome We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that you found the house to be well stocked. We do our best to make sure the house has everything our guests need so they don’t have to bring or go buy anything extra. I apologize about the pool. There was a misunderstanding between me and the pool guy about the salt cell. I thought it was still functioning as it was on and the green light was also on. The listing has been updated to reflect the change.

Great property and very equipped with everything you could think of ! Chris was very prompt on communication and helpful with everything that we required for the stay at their property. The yard is great for dogs and the pool was fun for the kids. They also have a little extra room that we hung out in with the cool light system. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Everything was great!!Very good location close to Publix, Danny’s pizza, Walmart only a few miles away.They allowed pets so I was able to bring our small dog instead of boarding him. Back yard was fenced so we weren’t worried about dog or kids.Hoping to go back in a few months.The owner also texted us to make sure we were all set.

Enjoyed our stay at the Sunshine retreat

Our family really enjoyed space to spread out in the house and a fully stocked kitchen. It was nice to use the beach chairs provided and cooler at the beach. All the trees in the back yard and pool created a very scenic and relaxing space.
