Our host was great. Lisa communicated quickly to messages. The little extras like coffee was a life line as we arrived after dark. The house had a nice funky decor.

We were so happy to host you. We are glad you enjoyed our home and Snead Island
This was our second time staying here, and everything about the property was perfect, just like last time! We almost never stay at the same property twice because we like to see different areas, but this one is a gem!
We had an amazing time here. The neighborhood was great and close to lots of things to do. We practically lived on the lanai our whole stay. It offered a shady place to hang out without getting too much sun. We would definitely stay again!
We enjoyed everything about the property. Canal, pool and bike trials at Emerson Preserve with beach a short drive made a great location. Clean property with plenty of room.
We really enjoyed ourselves at the Pompano House. We had a great time swimming in the pool and fishing the canal from the deck. The home is located in a quiet/clean neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us.

We are so happy you enjoyed the house and pool. Thanks for being our guests.
Such a great home. Better than the pics. The privacy of the home is wonderful. We enjoyed the salty water so much- fishing, kayaking, bike riding, beach walks, relaxing on the giant dock… beds are comfy, tons of room. One of my favorite places we have stayed!

We are delighted that you had a wonderful experience at our house. It is a real compliment when we know we were able to provide a place for you to have a great vacation. Thank you for your review.
Our family with 2 dogs stayed at the Pompano house during our FL vacation. The house is exactly as pictured and offers everything you'll need while there. The location for us was perfect for all our go to destinations. We spent our days venturing out and our evenings at the house. The house is very cozy and the pool was perfect after a day out. We highly recommend the Pompano house and would definitely book again.

Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back soon to enjoy the Florida sunshine!
The house is perfectly situated for quick access with our boat to lots of great fishing. The pool is so nice for cooling off after a day on the water fishing. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for my family of 4. There is so much to do in the area as well. There are trails with boardwalks just a few minutes from the house. Restaurants and shopping are a short drive away as well. It is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation!
The location is great . The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking equipment for a great thanksgiving meal. The pool , patio, dock and parking is perfect. It is also as clean as you would keep your own home. A perfect 5 stars absolutely nothing to complain about. Will definitely be renting again
The location of this property is perfect for our needs. We are able to have our boat for fishing. Then, come back and cool off in the pool. The nearby parks and trails make for perfect afternoon strolls. The cleanliness of this property is also top notch!
