Perfekt

Echter Traumurlaub. Alles vor Ort, was man so braucht. Die Sauberkeit des Hauses ist vorbildlich. Man merkt, dass die Hausverwaltung viel Wert auf Sauberkeit und Liebe zum Detail legt, so dass man sich wie zu Hause fühlen kann (viele Grüße an dieser Stelle an Mike und Danke für alles).

Wonderful time!!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and met all the needs of our family of 5. The property manager was responsive and committed very well both before and after our stay. The property is about a 15 minute drive to Boca Grande and close to the grocery store and other beautiful places to explore. We would recommend this place to our friends and would love to come back for a future vacation!

Beautiful home!

We rented this home for a week and it wasn’t nearly long enough. This home has it all, beautifully decorated and equipped with a heated pool. The entire stay was so incredibly relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were top notch. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in as we ate at home for all but 2 meals because of Covid 19. We will be recommending this home to our friends and family and we will definitely be back.

After Christmas trip

Had a great time. Pool was warm, all the things we needed etc..I will say to pay attention if you go walking, saw a bobcat in brush. Everything was pretty comfortable minus the pillows. Not much support/used to our foam pillows. Lots of towels etc..I did my share of laundry and even started some sheets before we check out. Management very friendly. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
