Great Place to Stay

I would recommend staying here. Nice fenced yard with toys for kids. Place was very clean and lots of extras. Large refrigerator for family meals. Only suggestion I have is a small step stool to reach dishes for short people 😁

Great host! Very clean! Highly recommend!

The host was very responsive and welcoming. The house was well maintained and perfect for a family and pet. The backyard was fenced in and roomy with stuff for kids to play with including a tree swing. We really enjoyed the fire pit on the cooler nights. One of the best VRBO experiences we have had!! Silvia was an exceptional host!!

Overall great.

The house was great, the sheets needed a wash when we got there in one of the rooms, but it was really nice. The kitchen has a lot of utensils for cooking at the house to save on food for longer stays. Warning, one of the rooms only has a single bed, so more suitable for kid.

Overall, the stay was good. The grass at the home was very high, which made me cautious. I spoke with the homeowner, who said she would get it cut next week. That made me feel much better knowing it would not be taken care of during my entire stay. The chain to the fan in the master bedroom was not there, so when the light went out, so did the fan, causing the master bedroom to be stuffy at night. Other than those two things, the stay was very nice.

Lovely and comfortable home

We met up with our married kids at the property to celebrate Christmas. It is newly renovated and lovely! Great backyard! We arrived with the winter storm and the property manager was quick to respond and bring extra blankets! Note to future cooks, the kitchen is minimally appointed so if you are planning to cook and bake, check before you shop. Very comfortable for our family!

A Great Place to Stay!

This was a wonderful place to call ‘home’ for a couple of weeks. The host was wonderfu; she replied promptly to any questions we had. The house was very clean, with a nice sized kitchen, living room with large tv, laundry, and four nice bedrooms. The master suite had a bathroom off of it, and the three other rooms shared a centrally located bathroom. It was beautiful weather, and the backyard setup was such a bonus—fenced in privacy with a table and chairs to enjoy breakfast out in the fresh morning air.The chair on the front porch was nice to sit outside and read as well. The driveway area was well-lit, which made it was to locate. Definitely recommend!!

Absolute wonderful owner and home

Silvia was a gem! We were to stay when a hurricane was approaching and Silvia made us comfortable with the location and safety of the home. We also were running into issues with a possible delay on the closing of our new home and she held extra days for us if needed. She responded immediately to any questions. The home is decorated beautifully and has thing’s for almost everything you’d need. I would recommend the home. The only thing I would recommend is that the grass be cut as it was quite high. It is FL so it could have been due to rain.

Everything about this stay was wonderful. The host went out of her way to get us a proper crib as our child is too big for a pac n play. She also allowed us to extend a few days at the 11th hour.It is exactly as advertised and will our regular spot for this annual trip to Florida.Thank you and well done!

Had a good stay. The home was quaint and nicely decorated and it contained almost everything we needed. We appreciated the fact that the listing accurately reflected what would be provided.

Great Family Home

This was a great family home and very well equipped to keep children busy. The location of the house is in an older neighborhood, the drive to downtown is about 15-20 minutes away which is manageable. The host was responsive and the check in process was smooth. We loved the backyard.

Visiting family

This house was less than 5 minutes from our son’s apartment which made visiting very easy. We ate breakfast from Ricopans 3 times while we were there. Day trips to northern and southern beaches were easy My parents joined visiting for a few days and this was their first time at a vrbo. They were very impressed. The house was immaculate and well-stocked. The owner checked in to see how our stay was going. Plenty of room for at least 6. The neighborhood was very quiet We enjoyed sitting outside various times of the day.

Great stay

Our stay was great. The property is beautiful and communication with the host was stellar. We left early because of the hurricane but it was easy to clean up and endure all was good before we left. If I had just one recommendation it would be to get new mattresses as the beds are pretty uncomfortable, not terribly so but they could use an upgrade. Otherwise, no complaints from us. It was easy in and easy out! Will look to stay again :-)
