The house was amazing and don’t get me started on the view, I could and did sit looking at it for hours so beautiful and peaceful. The management team were super helpful and ensured we had the best experience,
Couldn’t have asked for a better location, setting, layout, amenities, or style.

The host was awful and overbearing. Complete opposite of your recent ad campaign. She refused to heat the pool for us. I practically begged her to turn the heat on for us and offered to pay extra if necessary. She refused unless the air temperature was over 59f. When it did turn on, it was only on intermittently and not trying to heat to the advertised temperature. Terrible experience for a family with 3 young kids.

From the owner:
"We’re sorry to hear that the pool temperature did not meet your expectations during your stay. During your mid-February visit, outdoor temperatures were in the low 40s, with wind chills closer to 30 degrees, which makes it difficult for a large pool heater to reach or maintain 85 degrees. We communicated this at the time and explained that the heater would not be able to perform as expected under those conditions. As an alternative, we recommended using the spa, which can heat quickly to a much warmer temperature due to its smaller size. Thank you for sharing your feedback."
Loved it - saw dolphins and pool was perfect for kids! We loved it!! 6 adults and 3 kids under 5! Awesome! The beach was close and not very crowded!!! 🙌
Had a blast at the home! The home was clean, the property owners were extremely communicative and honestly we had Zero issues with this house. Would recommend to anyone!

The house was in a great location in a quiet neighborhood. It didn’t have a home like environment to it, very sterile. There were no books or games, decor was very limited. Some of the furniture was in less than desirable shape- rattan table on the patio had legs that were fraying the same with some chairs. There was rusted chair legs. The cushions on the patio were very worn and had tears in them. This place has so much potential to be very inviting.

We take it seriously when guests let us know that we missed the mark, and after sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:- They’ve replaced six patio chairs and added new water-resistant cushions to ensure the outdoor space is more comfortable and inviting for future guests.- The home is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, local entertainment, a playground, tennis courts, and pickleball courts. Many guests have enjoyed the convenience and variety this location offers.Thanks again for your feedback and for helping us improve the guest experience!
This property had amazing views, and a great outdoor area overlooking the harbor. The home is decorated kind of oddly, and one of the bedrooms with a king bed didn’t have a full bath, so that was a little bit of a disappointment, but the property was very clean in the communication with the management company was easy.

The house and views were beautiful. Dolphins swam up to our dock multiple times. Had plenty of space and essentials for hosting large family group. But be aware of the separate fee to heat hot tub and pool. Pool heat ineffective when colder.
The property looked just like it did in the photos. Kinda kitschy, nothing matched but who cares? The house had everything we needed and we all had our own space. Only thing is we were surprised to learn that there was a fee for heating the hot tub after we booked which bummed us out but even so, would book again. The Turkish restaurant within walking distance was fantastic.

Wonderful Stay, but Be Aware of Extra FeesWe had a fantastic and highly positive experience at this vacation home! The property itself was pretty clean, maintained, and provided a lovely setting for our trip. Everything inside was as advertised, and the location was great.A huge highlight was the property manager—they were exceptionally friendly, communicative, and made the check-in and check-out processes seamless. Their friendliness genuinely contributed to our overall enjoyment.The only significant drawback is the separate fees to heat the pool and the hot tub (hundreds of dollars for each). While we understand that heating is an extra cost, we wish these mandatory fees were included in the initial booking price or communicated more prominently and bundled together, as it added a considerable amount to the final bill.Overall, we highly recommend this home due to the quality of the property and the outstanding manager. We would happily stay again!

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the home, location, and our local guest contact! Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the pool and spa heating fees. While these amenities are optional and clearly noted in the listing, we understand how important transparency is when it comes to planning and budgeting for a trip. We do our best to keep our nightly rate competitive—especially for a spacious waterfront home that sleeps ten—and appreciate your comments as we continue to enhance the guest experience. We’d love to welcome you back again in the future!

Our group of ten stayed at this home and overall found the house comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, which we appreciated. The home itself worked well for accommodating a larger group.One thing future guests should be aware of is the pool temperature. We had asked in advance about having the pool heated and understood there would be an additional fee. Unfortunately, during our stay the pool was not heated. With evening temperatures around 61F and daytime temperatures in the low 70s, the pool was very cold and not really usable for our group.We did pay an additional fee to have the hot tub heated, which worked well, although it is fairly small and can only accommodate a few people at a time.Another thing to note is that the thermostat inside the home is locked. On one warm and humid day we were unable to lower the temperature below 74F.Communication with the host did take some time while we were trying to sort out the pool heating during the stay. Overall the home itself was adequate and the location was pleasant, but the issues with the pool heating and communication impacted our experience.

From the owner:
"We’re glad to hear the home was comfortable for your group and that you enjoyed the quiet, safe neighborhood. We’d like to clarify a few details regarding your stay. During your mid-February visit, spa heat was requested and maintained at 104 degrees for use throughout the day and evening. Pool heating, however, was not requested, and with outdoor temperatures dropping into the 40s and lower with wind chill, the pool would not have been able to reach a warmer temperature. The thermostat settings are managed to maintain consistent indoor comfort for all guests. Thank you for sharing your experience."
