Clean little cottage close to the water

Check-in was as easy as it gets with great communication with the operator. The cottage was clean and convenient to the water. It is “cozy”, but has everything you need in a nice quiet location with a fenced in yard with lots of big trees for shade. For the price, I don’t think you can beat it! I will stay again.

Quite little neighborhood

Cute quite little space with everything we needed for a few days stay. Check in and host were great. Fenced in yard was good for our beagle to roam around. We would stay again when coming back to that area.

Golfer's paradise

We came to town with the intention of moving to Florida. After staying at this house, we decided that we loved the location, neighbors, and overall vibe of the place, we bought a house 3 blocks away! We closed 3 weeks after coming to town and are very happy to be here! Thank you, Jennifer!!

The property was quiet and clean except the stove and toaster oven were in poor condition and we didn't try to use them, also the AC units were not very clean. The bathroom was tiny but functional. It was ok but small and rustic.

As described

This place was exactly as described. Definitely, not the Ritz Carlton, but perfect for a few nights to check out the sites in the area. The neighborhood seemed to be pretty safe and quiet. The shower is definitely a big step up to get into. Spacious yard for the pups to enjoy and well lit. The only complaint I would have is the difficulty of opening the fence entrance into the yard. Otherwise, would recommend.

Decent stay for the money

The property was mostly as described. It was very hard to get into the yard as the “road” was very narrow. We had to turn the gas on to have hot water and a gas tech ended up having to come bleed the gas lines at the water heater the next day so we could take showers. Also the a/c stays turned off so it was very hot and muggy the first night. Lastly the coffee pot was never cleaned out and had mold growing so we were not able to have coffee. Other than that the property was as advertised.

thank you for your stay we had discussed on the phone, there was very severe weather in the area. The Internet / electric was knocked out and we felt it best to turn the gas off as the unit was empty for a few weeks and property manger out of town. we paid for our cleaning lady to sort the internet and the gas tech asap..I’m sorry she missed the coffee pot. Usually its very spotless. thank you for your patience. The air conditioners are in working order, but yes, it can take a few minutes to cool as it is a blazing summer. the parking in the fenced yard is a convenience to guests but the technical village community parking is above. thanks for staying again and letting us know the issues appreciate that very much

Sister Getaway

This was my first time to stay in this unit at Lanark Village. It was a spacious 1 bedroom/1 bath, with a small back porch and fenced in yard. My pups loved running around the yard. My Sister stayed in a different unit with her dog, which was a 5 minute walk. This was her 1st time to stay in the area, so I showed her around. In parking in the yard, there are pine trees which the host mentions and tells of a free parking lot around the area. I parked in the yard and have pine tar on my vehicle. No big deal to me, but might be to some folks. There is such wonderful history, in this old Florida community. I would definitely visit again! Thanks for the hospitality!!😊

Do Not Stay Here

This rental was not what was represented in thebe photos. The shower was tiny and had a high lip to step over. The bed was on the ground inside a frame. My husband has had 7 knee replacements and could not step into shower or get up from bed. The coffee pot was filthy as was the toaster oven so we knew we couldn’t cook. We stayed one night and immediately contacted the hosts who said to contact VRBO. We will continue to fight for a refund.

Need to revise listing

To start off the house was dirty, no toilet paper, the bathroom smells of mold. The listing stated the couch was a futon, it was not so my daughter had to sleep on a couch for the week. There is no garbage service at the house and the answer they gave me on what to do with the trash was to take it to the dumpster at the hardware store in town (which is a private dumpster)! The kitchen sink takes hours to drain after you do dishes and only a few of the burners work on the stove. There were still toothbrushes on the sink from previous guests when we arrived, and none of the doors will close and latch including the bathroom and main entry door. With a little maintenance and cleaning it could be a nice place to stay especially for the price.

Derek thank you for your review. I would love to add the pictures to my response here, from my cleaning staff sending to me right before your arrival. It was spotless, and we also have video footage to prove it. I have aplogized to you for the small amount of left toiletpaper. It also does not state Futon anywhere on the description. We have not had issues with previous guests about the trash, but thank you for pointing it out I added it to my property description. Thank you again for the critics. Kindly, Jennifer

Horrible

Arrived late at night, extremely hard to find the house. Lock box for keys would not open. Finally(after an hour )got it open with a screwdriver because someone had not put the keys in correctly and it was jammed. Walked in and were flabbergasted at how inaccurate the listing was. In our opinion not clean, smelled like mildew, the bed was basically on the floor with a piece of wood trim around it that made it extremely uncomfortable, the bathroom was so small it was almost impossible to move around. The driveway in was poorly marked and extremely tight to navigate in our truck. I would say the owner is a marketing genius, because the only accurate thing about the listing was the picture of the living room that was the nicest cleanest room in the house. I have had poor VRVO experiences before but this one topped them all. I will never stay here again and would advise anyone I personally know not to either.
