Shelter in a storm

When Hurricane Ian was coming we had to evacuate. Hosts were very accommodating at the last minute for us. Nice home and yard, we never lost power.

Fantastic Stay children had a Blast!

Host was very friendly. Explained everything. This was for my step daughters 14th birthday. She wanted a pool party and we got more than we expected. Great Hot Tub, pool with flowing mattress and toys. Even a massage chair that the adults enjoyed a great deal. The event was a success and the home was clean and very inviting. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Spacious Smart House

The house was nice and location was perfect for our needs. The “Smart House” aspect was a little much for our group. The outdoor area, carport, and security around was great! The living area was cozy. The owner does have rabbits at the house and comes by twice a day to feed them. There was also a 25 page manual sent after our arrival on how to use the smart house. It would have been nice to have that a few days prior to arrival to review and try understand. We loved the house and look forward to staying again for our event.

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate it. Taking care of the rabbits in the shed was temporary because they had nowhere else to go. We apologize. The guidebook has been significantly improved and is now located in a binder inside the house for easier reference. We will implement your suggestion of getting the guide out a couple of days in advance.

Privacy

When we first arrive and as soon as we got in the house it smells so fresh and it was so clean for it to be a pet friendly home you wouldn't even think they had pets, you do have to download a app to get in the house with the smart key system they have, but it is simple and no problem we enjoyed our time, the kids enjoy their time we would definitely reference friends and family to book at this residence we would be back but for a longer staying because our weekend was just too short. The best thing as well was privacy quiet Street just wonderful. Thank Again To The Ower

House is advertised as smart.The host did have the cameras on the first night and they came and took them out at some point the next day when we were not there.That did not put us at ease.The camera in the pool area was not appreciated and we unplugged it when we finally saw it half way through our stay.The plugs were so overused with 'smart' equipment in the various rooms that it was difficult to use the bathroom plugs and bedroom plugs. When we unplugged the speakers and tried to turn on the lights, they flashed nonstop.It was terrible.The house was filthy.There was hair and dust in the corners and on the floor everywhere.The floors have rugs over transition areas and wires,an osha nightmare.The kitchen was next level.At first glance it appears okay.Open the fridge and it stunk.There was condiments that were a mystery and the entire door was filled.There was also food in the fridge and freezer.The cabinets were a hot mess and full.The pots and pans were just thrown in the cabinet and you really couldn't tell what was dirty and what was clean.The towels provided were frayed and had stains on them.The sheets in the primary bed had rips on them.The pool area was comfortable but worn.My teenagers discovered marijuana roaches in their tin in the pool area.personal clothing in the office.packages arrive for the owners daily and they pick them up.it felt as if we were staying in someone's dirty old house and not as if we were in a rental for reserved 3 weeks

The bedrooms are generously sized, and the master suite features a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom that will impress. One of the best features of this vacation property is the outdoor living space. Step outside onto the oversized screened lanai to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails. The backyard provides plenty of room to relax and a peaceful environment.
