The house was spacious and so clean! Plenty of room for our family to spread out and our boys loved the pool and game room all to themselves. Burgers by the pool were a big hit. There is a small playground and tennis court about 2 minutes walk that we loved, the neighborhood has beautiful high end homes to enjoy walking past, and the beach had excellent safe pedestrian access with flashing light crosswalks that made it an easy trip. The walk was about 10 minutes but it was flat and paved, and the beach is relatively shallow and flat so once you hit the sand, you’re there. Also an awesome Turkish restaurant right there on the corner. The management company was super responsive and answered all our questions. The grill and beach wagon had to be replaced due to the previous guests but he came quickly and quietly to take care of it. The house itself does need a little TLC because it’s an oldish Florida home, but it has great character.

This property was perfect for our needs. We had a relaxing week at the house, and close to restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Alan (the owner) was so attentive to us. Being in our 70’s it was GREATLY appreciated. Will definitely book again!
I am incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave me this note. Our company values our customer satisfaction as a top priority and we are committed to our customers. Its customers like you that make our job wonderful. We look forward to serving you again.

Great location and great service
This house is in a great location. It was everything we needed in terms of location for a family get together on the beach. There is quite a bit of evidence of storm damage, but it did not affect us enjoying time at the beach. Also management checked in on us often to ensure our stay was up to par.

Daniel will always be welcome at any of our properties. A great group who knows how to enjoy themselves along with the natural beach surroundings. They are truly a pleasure to welcome into our home and into our beach neighborhood.
Great location. Would have appreciated some toiletries to get started. Owner was very responsive and helpful with any issues that arose before and during our stay.

Thank you for your review. Per our listing and contract that you signed. We only supply a starter amount of toiletries. Hope others see this so there is not any confusion again. We strive for five star reviews and to receive a four for something that was mentioned at booking time is unfair.
We enjoyed the week with pool time, eating local seafood at our favorite places, and some shopping & beach time. The house had all the necessary amenities. Our evenings were filled with watching ballgames, etc on the big smart TVs or family games. When there was an issue, it was promptly addressed and resolved. We had a wonderful week.

Communication is outstanding; responsive to issues. The property has some cosmetic issues on the main floor, but it was overall a very comfortable stay and a terrific location. Would stay there again.

We had an impromptu visit from family that live in Florida and it was perfect. The space was great. We could visit comfortably without feeling like we were on top of each other.

This home felt cold and unwelcoming. The pictures suggest it is in much better condition than it is. Paint needs touch up in places, there’s a shower curtain in master where a glass door should be, pool tiles cracked. Neighborhood has multiple yard signs rallying against short term rentals. The management company sent out multiple messages about warnings of fines and other repercussions about doing/not doing instead of welcome and enjoy your stay. Our checkin was moved up to 3pm and at 2:59p the code didn’t work. When I inquired this was my response. “Looks like you might have jumped the gun by a minute! No worries, it happens to the best of us.” Isn’t that the exact opposite of what is advertised by VRBO on its commercials? Also, the pool never heated up. We arrived when temperatures were in the 60s so not sure what happened there. Did receive multiple messages that if temperatures fall into the 50s it’s hard for the heater to keep up. And sure enough, that is what happened so we were never able to enjoy the “heated” pool.

Thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet expectations.
We do want to clarify a few points for future guests. Our check-in time is 4:00 PM, and while we occasionally offer early access when possible, door codes are programmed to activate at 3pm. It appears this guest attempted entry slightly before the early access time we communicated, and we apologize if that caused any frustration.
Regarding the home’s condition, the shower door was recently damaged and has been temporarily replaced with a curtain while we wait for the new glass installation— We appreciate your understanding as we complete that repair. Maintenance items like paint touch-ups and pool tile upkeep are part of our ongoing improvement plan.
As noted in both our listing and pre-arrival information, pool heating can be affected by cooler outdoor temperatures. During your stay, temperatures ranged from the 40s to 60s, which can make it difficult for the heater to maintain higher water temperatures despite running continuously.
We’re also sorry if our messaging came across as unwelcoming. Our intent is to clearly communicate local regulations and help guests avoid potential fines, not to detract from the experience.
We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving for future guests.
The house was super clean and spacious with two kitchens and two living areas. We really enjoyed the pool, and we rented the golf cart for a very short drive to the beach which was also walkable. Highly recommend the golf cart, it’s easier to find parking than it would be with a car. Alan, the property manager was very friendly and had the best communication I’ve had with a property manager. We would recommend this place and would stay again!

Your review of this property makes us so happy! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We really enjoyed this property and it was a very smooth process and in a great neighborhood. The only issue we encountered was tiny ants but otherwise very clean and well maintained. Would definitely rent it again. Thank you!!!

Thank you for your review. The tiny ants are common in this area. We did have pest control come out right after your stay. Please come back anytime.
Everything was exactly as it was supposed to be. The access to the beach was a 5 min walk at most. Amazing food locally within walking distance and not much of a drive to other sights! Our family was more than accommodated (we had a group of 9) whether it was at the pool in the backyard or the short walk to the beach. I will for sure be coming back!

Very family friendly. Basement was recently updated, but the upstairs is in need of a little updating. Nothing that was too negative for us. We had two family groups and this house worked wonderful. Short 5-10 minute walk to the beach!
