This was a great place to stay - walking distance to Singer Island and grocery store - clean and had everything we needed - enough space for our family of 6.
Loved our stay. Close to beaches and everything. Nicely appointed house, good neighborhood. Would definitely rent again if our plans bring us to the area again.
Nice and clean place to stay. Really enjoyed the screened in area to sit and relax. Had all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay. Close location to several attractions and eating locations.
We had a very nice three-week stay. Close to multiple stores, a nice neighborhood for walking in the evening, and plenty of space inside the house. The communication from the owners was also excellent.

Cute little place and close to the beach! The grocery store is close and we were pretty much close to everything( within 15-20 minutes drive).
Had a lovely time while staying there and spending relaxing evenings in the beautiful porch.

The best thing about this house is it’s proximity to the beach. It is 1 mile from Singer Island and 2 miles from Ocean Reef Park. It is also in a quiet neighborhood.

Thank you for the pleasant review. Wonderful to hear you had a great experience staying in our home. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to hosting you again!
We had a fantastic stay at this house! It is more spacious then it looks and it is VERY well stocked from the towels, to kitchen to bedding. It is an older property but you will feel right at home. And you can not beat the location!!! We had absolutely NO issues and didn't have to contact the owner once during our 7 night stay.

Centrally located for our needs for spring training and beaches. Never knew the inner coastal waters were so clear for snorkeling. Lots of close beaches and eateries. House was perfect for 2 retired guys. Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. Great communication from host.

Thank you for your great review. It was a pleasure having you as a guest, and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to you staying again.
We were the first to rent this charming house for our month stay in Florida. It was immaculately clean and certainly accommodated all our needs for a pleasant stay. Communication with the owner was above the normal. Absolutely recommend this property for a short or long term rental. If you going to southeast Florida, you wont't be disappointed.

Came for a dive week and could not have been a more perfect property. Lovely, immaculate home and amenities, beautiful screened in porch and that outdoor area and shower, divine! Host was so personable and kind, and property manager helped me when I stupidly locked myself out. Effortless! Would definitely stay here again.
