The host of this Vrbo was so responsive to all our questions and concerns. And so prompt in getting back to us.The home was clean and well appointed. We all felt very comfortable there.Since it was so close to my brother's house it was so convenient to bounce back and forth during the time we were there.
What a surprise to find a shark in the pool! Hahaha

Everything great. Would suggest some sort of road lighting to show the correct road. New carving tools and maybe some more thrift store utensils. There are two locks, since the real estate lock is prominent and the other “real” one is almost unseeable. Maybe point out which lock is the real one. It felt like a comfy home. I’d do it again. Thank you

Perfect Pet Friendly Home!!

This is a perfect pet friendly home! It is very simply furnished so we didn’t worry about the dogs damaging anything at all! The pool and fenced in yard was so nice! While we enjoyed the pool area, the dogs had room to roam freely and get their exercise. We were traveling for our son’s wedding and knew we may experience some issues due to Hurricane Milton. When we arrived the A/C wasn’t working, a bracket for the pool cage was hanging down, and part of the fence had blown over. The management company had someone out within 24 hours to address these issues. Additionally, we had driven 1,500 niles and arrived 16 hours before check in. The company accommodated us and allowed us an early check in! I can’t tell you how grateful we were to be able to check in at 2 am after driving almost 28 hours! We definitely recommend this home, especially if you need pet friendly and don’t mind that it’s an older home with simple, dated furnishings.
