The room was very cute and comfortable with a sail boat theme. The hosts were very professional and accommodating. Great locations and the compound grounds have activities and areas for relaxation. I will definitely rebook if I ever need to stay in the area again.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The courtyard area was amazing with the putt putt and hot tub. We really enjoyed our conversations with Shawn and Sandra. The only reason I did not give a 5 star was due to the mattress in our room. An old guy like me needs a better quality mattress for a good nights sleep. An update to the mattress would make it an all around great stay.
The owner was fantastic and the place was immaculate with many added benefits that surprised us. A beautiful "garden area" where you can just sit, lounge, start a firepit, enjoy the huge hot tub, play mini golf etc. Would definitely stay here again when in the area next. Fantastic value!

Hosts greeted me on my first night and answered the questions I had. The room was quiet and pleasant. I would recommend without reservation. The location was perfect for me, close to Gulfport and St Pete Beach

Thank you for your review we hope to have you back soon
Very dusty room, cockroaches, bathroom wall has a gap at the top so it’s connected to the main room. Host reached out a day before to tell me it was overbooked and asked for an additional 100 cash to stay in their nicer location at the same address. He was kind to agree when I brought up hours later that it wasn’t fair for me to pay that I wouldn’t have to pay extra but then the other person cancelled anyways so we were going to stay in the original location. We felt unsafe enough that after being at the location for a bit, we booked a hotel to be able to sleep. The host replied to me saying we weren’t staying the night asking me to book outside of VRBO to save on fees. VRBO was not helpful and didn’t give me a refund because the host wanted me to talk directly to them—I went through VRBO specifically with my complaints because I didn’t feel safe contacting just the host that the issue would be resolved.
