Response from VrboOwner on 25 March 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Michael. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the view—that’s something many of our guests truly appreciate. That said, we take concerns about the condition of the home very seriously. We want to clarify that prior to your arrival, all lighting and major systems were fully inspected and in working order. During your stay, we responded immediately to the items you reported, including repairing the toilet handle and addressing the laundry door. These types of issues, while unfortunate, can occasionally occur in any well-used home and were not an indication of "horrible disrepair". We also understand there was some confusion regarding the window treatments. Instructions were provided, and additional in-person assistance was given to ensure they were functioning properly for you. Regarding the stair railings, our records and follow-up inspection indicated damage occurred during the stay. Regardless, repairs were arranged as quickly as possible to maintain safety and the quality of the home. We strive to provide a well-maintained and comfortable experience for every guest and we regret that your stay did not meet your expectations. At the same time, we stand by the condition of the property and the responsiveness of our management team in addressing concerns as they arose. We appreciate your feedback and we wish you the best in your future travels.

This home was a 10/10 experience. Everything was top notch from the cleanliness to the amenities available. It looks exactly like the pictures online but in person it was so much better. The view from the balcony was the best part about it as well as the boat access. We also spent lots of time at the pool on the property which was super clean and refreshing after being on the water all day. Everyone in venture out was super friendly and we rented bikes from Big Pine Bike Rental to ride around the property. Our dog enjoyed the stay too. Being able to grill and cook at home was a major plus. The home is extremely well cared for and we will be back to stay again.
