The property worked very well for me and my two teenage daughters and our small little dog. It’s in an extremely convenient location and it’s safe friendly neighborhood. I walked my dog a few times a day and neighbors are welcoming. It was nice to have a fenced in yard as well. The master shower could use better water, pressure, but outside of that everything was fantastic.

Thank you Sandra for your kind review, I am very happy the the house met your expectations and you had an enjoyable stay, I am glad you felt safe walking your dog as well. Thank you for your feedback, I will have someone check the shower pressure in the master bedroom. Blessings to you and your family. 🌸🏡✨😊
We stayed here with 2 adults, 4 kids, and dogs. The house was clean and we loved the outside sunroom area. The kitchen was well stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and in a great location. The host was very responsive and helpful. She was very accommodating to our requests. We would definitely stay here again.
Quite quiet place, outstanding backyard, We travel with pets, and they have loved it... Great location, 55 min to Daytona, and 35 min to Orlando. For sure, we would stay in this place again! Thanks
We had a wonderful experience with the home owner and the property. The home was very clean and the beds were sooo comfortable!! We had a girls weekend and I will definitely book again if I’m in the area. Thanks so much!
Great location, clean comfortable home with all the amenities you need, only suggestion would be to improve lighting in kitchen and add dimmer to dining room light. Will most likely rent it again in the future.

Hello Stephen,
Thank you so much for the review and for the suggestions, I will definitely add them to the home improvement list. I look forward to hosting you again.
The property was absolutely perfect for our group of 6. The location was great for going to the Wedding. Everything we needed was at the house and it was very comfortable. The owner was very responsive to every question .
Location was excellent with many familiar local businesses and restaurants nearby. Well-appointed and exceptionally clean house. Marisa was an excellent host and very responsive. The few questions I had were answered in a matter of minutes. Would definitely stay again the next time I come to the Oviedo area.
Just a few suggestions for making it excellent.1. Place Floor Mats in bathrooms. It is dangerous stepping out of the shower on a bare floor since instructions requested that towels not be used on floor.2. Guest bathtub between two bedrooms may need plumbing maintenance. Shower water drains very slowly.3. Coffee Pot was dirty with encrusted burnt coffee in the bottom. Took some scrubbing to get it clean.4. Master Bedroom has lock with code. Code number was not provided and my brother & Sister-in-law were locked out of the room the night before we left. After several messages and calls we were able to get Marisa and she gave us the code.

Hello Nereida.
Thank you so much for your review and feedback, I highly appreciate it. About the bathroom floor mats, there should have been some in the property, i provided them but I will double check on that and also on the drainage of the bathtub. I apologize about the coffee maker, that is unacceptable. I also doubled checked to make sure that the master bedroom code is on the home’s welcoming guide. Thank you again for your feedback.

I love dancing , tennis, the outdoors and animals. I have a furry baby, she is a kitten named Sunny. I love this home and I hope my guest find it as cozy and welcoming as it was for my family.
