House was clean, quite, and comfortable. Relaxing at the pool was great. Deep water at the dock, and out to Gulf with easy access to the ocean side for fishing. We will be back.
Pool and spa were great. Would have liked to be able to hear the hot tub in the morning as well as at night.

Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the pool and spa!
Just to clarify, the system only allows for one heating schedule at a time, so we’re able to set it either for the morning or the evening, but not both simultaneously. We’re always happy to adjust the timing based on your preference for future stays 😊
We’d love to host you again!
Over all we had a wonderful stay. House was beautiful and very clean. Grounds were kept clean and pool was very nice. The only thing that that was frustrating was when having to shower there wasn’t enough hot water..

Thank you so much for your kind words—we’re so glad you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the home, pool, and grounds!
We’re sorry to hear about the hot water issue. We didn’t receive any notification during your stay, but we would’ve been more than happy to check on it right away. We’ll make sure to look into it.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we’d love to host you again in the future!
The host was very accommodating and communication was very good . The house was very clean, beautiful and well equipped . The outside pool area was so nice, and the outside kitchen was a great amenity . Great location and we would stay again .
Perla Blanca is a beautiful modern home and looks exactly like the photos. The home and pool is perfect for large families but it never felt crowded. We were just blown away the entire time. You will occasionally hear airplanes from the airport but we enjoyed seeing them. The property manager - Monica - was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back.
