Great place for famlies!
Overall the property is a wonderful place for families. We had plenty of room for everyone. Had some issues with the pool/spa and the floors not being clean. But Advant was very helpful and got the issues resolved. Thanks for a good stay!

Read listing carefully
Great house but need to pay extra for pool heat and pets. Pros - tons of space for our party. Cons - not quite as comfortable as it looked online and definitely could use more staging for a larger group. Also - beware the VRBO doesn't service the property once booked. You have to communicate with Avante Stay directly. They don't respond to notes with a human and just refer you to the FAQ. Unless it's to spend more $$, not really helpful. Cleaning crew was still working when we showed up for check in...

Bravo to the photographer!
This place was downright filthy. Sticky substances on the walls, dead lizards in the pool, dirty pool towels scattered about. Upon our arrival, the cleaner also arrived and hustled about to do some light cleaning. Not ideal as a guest to have someone milling about during the first hour of your stay. The spa was ice cold. A few hours later the pool guy showed up to fix it, but both the pool and spa were visibly filthy. Finally it heated up by that evening, but it was so dirty that no one wanted to get in. We were so excited about this place, and the money that I spent could have afforded us beautiful accommodations. Unfortunately the whole family was beyond disappointed and this put a huge damper on our family vacation for the kids spring break. Don’t be fooled by this talented photographer, this place is not what it seems.

very nice place. had a few issues with cleanliness. booked and paid for the heated pool weeks before and was told 1 day before check in that they didn’t order a part in time so the pool and jacuzzi were ice cold the entire weekend. loved the patio and roof but wish there was a bit more furniture in those areas. all around it was a good size for me and my friends
