Great property. Host was prompt with any questions and concerns. I wouldn't use the bunk beds for adults. Wish they were separate twin beds. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.

Amazing Property!

We had an amazing stay at the Plantation House! First, the place was very clean. Also, the property had so many different places to sit and gather without feeling completely disconnected. Our family of 11 was able to gather and have dinner together, reconnect around some board games, and at night we lit a fire and had s'mores! The location was perfect as well - we were close to everything but still had that country feel. I highly recommend the property!

Very pretty historic home.

Beautiful old trees. Home was pretty. Neighboring garage apartment had noisy children up early, but understandable children are happy on vacation! The train horns close by was annoying during the night and early morning. The owner was very nice, helpful and communication was excellent!

Weekend visit with friends for concert.

Very nice property in a mixed, but nice, neighborhood. Great restoration of an older home. Some decoration and furnishing choices that border on proselytizing, but thats a matter of personal taste. Very comfortable and well furnished. There is an adjacent rental on property that may also be occupied. It was during our stay, but that did not present an issue for us. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Buddy golf trip

6 buddies in our 60’s going to FL for 5 days to get away from winter weather in NJ. Location was great, 30 minutes from Jacksonville airport and less than 30 minutes to the courses we booked. Area restaurants were also very good. House was as advertised, old plantation home, 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. House was clean and updated in several areas - layout was a bit quirky but not unusual given the age of the home. Great outdoor space to unwind after playing golf. Highly recommend to a family or group of friends.

Family Time

This home is beautiful, the cottage also beautiful and both were well supplied, comfortable, well furnished. A couple issues, one the hostess of our home was not quick to respond/communicate, there were multiple TV’s in both locations but no instructions on use especially when there are two remotes so we didn’t have use of them, no checkout instructions and when we inquired with our hostess we got no response therefore did what we want done in our homes. The property is beautiful, lots of porches with comfortable furnishings in all areas. One other item, sleeping really is for 8 adults and 6 children as the bunks are very small and stacked with 3 which is pretty high for kids trying to get into and out of bed. Overall, recommend this home….more positives and just minor negatives that easily be dealt with.

$20 extra guest fee for more than 2 people and names required

This property is advertised to sleep 14, and it can, but be aware of the $20 "extra guest" fee if you have 3 or more people in your party. Not sure why a property that can sleep 14 considers any number under the listed capacity an "extra guest" but this one does. Age of the guest does not matter either as our 11 month old was considered in this count. I understand this fee is stated in the listing but it's still, in my mind, a little deceptive considering "extra guest" typically means a guest above the capacity of the home. When asked about it host said it had to do with their profit margins. Also listing claims to be a "restricted community" but it's just the house with open access to the road. Listing states vehicle tag number and names of all guests, even minors, are required to be disclosed. Never seen this in any other property I've stayed at but host is serious about it and did not provide entry code until I relented despite me saying I was not comfortable providing names of minor children. All seemed very unnecessary to me. House itself is as advertised. No complaints about the property.

Close to Wedding Venue

We selected this VRBO because it was just minutes from the venue for my son’s wedding. The host was excellent—communicative, gracious, and incredibly understanding. We experienced several unexpected changes due to health issues within our family, and the host remained flexible and supportive throughout. We’re so grateful for their kindness during such an important and hectic time.

Charming 18th century home

Truly enjoyed our stay in this charming & cozy home from the 18th century. Love the unique furniture and decor. Very clean and great location for us as it was close to 285. The grocery store is only a three minute drive from the house. Would definitely stay again.

Buddies golf trip

We were a group of 6 buddies in our mid 60’s that rented the main house as well as the guest house for a golf trip to escape the Northeast winter. Both properties were well kept and immaculately clean and in close proximity to golf courses as well as restaurants. The outdoor space is outstanding with multiple locations to sit outside and enjoy the day or evening. Lori was responsive to any questions we had throughout the stay and went to great lengths to recover a lost cell phone and express mail it back to him. Would highly recommend either property to anyone interested in them singly or together.
