The home was spotless and clearly well cared for, which made settling in effortless. It's one of the few rental options in Lakewood National, and the location couldn't be better for enjoying the community. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure every detail was smooth from check‑in to check‑out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and hassle-free getaway.
We had a nice stay. Property was nice and as described.

Nice Layout and View
Slightly worn and disheveled, with inexpensive and non matching furniture. But nice location and layout.

Hi Thomas! Thank you for your feedback and the 4-star rating!! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and view, and we appreciate your comments about the furnishings—we’ll keep that in mind as we look at future updates. We hope to welcome you again!
Good - Management company for the property was one of the best we have encountered. Responded quickly to call or text and resolved issues reported. Space was good for 4 adults - house was in great location/neighborhood. Kitchen well equipped as far as pans, plates, appliances. Pool service did great job.
Bad - TVs were all different, multiple remotes and only one instruction that didn’t work most of the time. Ended up just using our streaming apps. Although there were some good towels, most of the others were older/mismatched. No spices (not even salt or pepper) or things like aluminum foil.
Ugly: Arrived to air conditioning not working and took 2 days to fix had to go to hotel. Air, even after fixed, was not cooling 2nd king bedroom well - no overhead fan. Had to use three floor fans in that area to keep it cool. Refrigerator was leaking water on floor when arrived. Pool cage missing big panel, pool deck area not clean. Beware that the community only allows 2 adults to have IDs, so in our case with 4 adults - the other 2 adults could not use amenties without one of us being with them which was not clear when reserving.Very inconvenient after paying extra for this access. How can a house in Florida not have an emergency kit for hurricane/power outages? We only found one flashlight which had battery corrosion. (Leasing company did send over a new flashlight). Overall, we made the best of the situation so we could enjoy our family/vacation.
