Awesome home, very quite and private!!! Everything was just as described, very clean, great location to go to multiple beaches. Check in smooth process and very helpful for suggestions of what to do while we were there. We went to Sanibel Island, Venice beach, Siesta Keys, Everglades and even Epcot for a day. Great variety of restaurants close by. Highly recommend staying here.
