Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I can’t say enough about this house. We have rented many Florida house for our family of 23 and this one was simply amazing. The best by far. It’s everything it claims to be and more. From the size and layout to the location right on the beach to the incredible kitchen and all its amenities, I can’t say enough. We had more than enough room and more than enough amenities for one of the best vacations our family had ever enjoyed. I dare you to think of something you need that this house doesn’t provide. Absolutely amazing.

Did feel for the $, the house is a little worn. Deck ceiling needs attention for sure as it dripped on us first 2 days when raining. Love dealing with Paradise as a rental company. A great time had by all.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was amazing! Perfect view and lots of room. I was disappointed that there were things that should be at a VRBO that were not there. There was nothing to wipe down tables and counters cleaner wise. No spray or wipes. There should be some kind of disinfectant for after and before cooking. There were also no spices. I understand no condiments but all at her places I have stayed have a spice cupboard. There were other little things that were annoying but nothing really ruined our stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 May 2025
Hi Jennifer, We are so glad you had such a wonderful stay in this amazing home! It truly is a great house and is very popular with our guests. The views are stunning! We appreciate your feedback as well. We are sorry to hear that you weren't happy with the items that were supplied for your stay. We want all our guests expectations to be exceeded and to ensure that happens, we send out an email, before arrival, about "What to Bring" with you and what we supply. We sent that to you on March 25th and on April 18th. It sounds like those emails may have been missed and we're sorry to hear that. One of the biggest reasons we don't supply spices is because it's a huge health hazard and the safety and health of our guests are our top priority. There is no way for us to know if someone that stayed in the house before you has tampered with the spices and that's not a risk we are willing to take. Also, the expense of purchasing new spices for every rental is simply not feasible. We are sorry that the emails were missed and your expectations weren't met. That's certainly not something we want to happen. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to earn your trust and you will come stay with us again in the future. We really appreciate your business!

At Home on the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed several times in this house since it was built. My family has searched extensively for other properties but find that it fits our needs better than others including the large pool, within walking distance of pickleball and tennis courts and small walking track and the configuration of bedrooms.we now have teens and early twenties. The extra large beds in the bunk room helped to accommodate everyone. Last year we requested a larger TV in living room and the ceiling on porch be repaired. Both requests were done for this year. There were problems with the air conditioner but every effort was made to fix it(90s all week)The house was clean but would suggest a deep cleaning be done at end of busy season. Also an update of the decor is desperately needed. This is picky but we had to buy more dish clothes for kitchen and left them. For the price we paid for rental, we shouldn’t have to buy our own.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your repeat business! We're so glad you had another great stay and enjoyed all the upgrades. Thank you for your feedback as well. We typically do perform deep cleans at the end of summer season. It's a little difficult to do that with this property though because it's always booked but I will make sure to send this to our housekeeping manager so we can get it scheduled. We appreciate your feedback about the decor' as well and we will pass that along to the owner of the home. Thank you for letting us know about the dish clothes. Please know that we are always available to you should you need anything during your stay. We would have been more than happy to have brought you more dish clothes to the home. There wasn't any need for you to purchase them. Please don't ever hesitate to contact us. We're here to work for you! We look forward to your return next year.

Stay at 1008 Ariola (3 - 10 Jun 23)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at 1008 Ariola was wonderful ! We especially appreciate the effort you made to have the air conditioning systems repaired at 10:00 pm at night for us - it really made the stay first class. - a few minor points for reference - the door from the stairs to the 2nd floor does not open unless you push hard on it ( a simple adjustment is probably all that is needed and the fan in bedroom # 5 (on 3rd floor at top of stairs) makes a loud rattling sound all the time and probably needs to be replaced.Again it was a wonderful house and we can not wait until next year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The door from the ground level to the living area gets stuck often. The latch is broken, but the problem is the door is not squared properly. The bottom of the stairs by the pool contains many cement chunks that can cause injury. We put a door mat over it so nobody would get hurt. Almost every person in our group complained about the condition of the mattresses, and some of the showers contained mold. We’ve stayed here since it was brand new and were happy to see that some of the unnecessary kitchen supplies were removed making it easier to find and store supplies. The pool was the cleanest we have ever seen. The house, however is great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 2nd time to stay in this house.. the set up is great and things that needed to be fixed from the last were fixed.. my biggest complaint would be to get better curtains/blinds. the house is made for families and the kids woke up every day around 5:30 because of the brightness in their rooms... obviously we didn't want to wake up that early... please invest in better curtains with either black out or have blinds to fit the windows..I had one family but large black trash bags to tap into the window to help them sleep but not all the windows can do that and we should not have this problem while spending that kind of money for one week really fits my big family so well and would like to come back again. We love the location and the set up of the house.. I feel like it is time to reinvest some money to upgrades in this house...but by far we love this house the most of all the ones we have stayed in...

3 generation family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time, even though the weather let us down. Amazing ocean/beach views from almost everywhere. Large island and gathering table in the great room on the main floor. Elevator worked consistently well and was easy to use for grandpa.Interestingly, most of the televisions are very small and not very modern. The common area on the top floor has the only modern TV. In the main bedroom on the top floor, the TV was too far away to read closed captioning while watching from the bed.Dryer on the main floor did not really get anything dry; it needs fixing or replacing.Outside outlets on the main floor balcony did not work, and a service person came by but didn't really know how to fix them.Pool was nice once we had the heat turned on, but $100 per day is pretty steep. A comprehensive list of kitchen items and beach items would be very helpful. The website was incomplete, and Paradise Homes was initially not helpful when my wife called with some detailed questions. I called back and was able to talk to someone more helpful. For this price point we expected more beach chairs and umbrellas, and for the office to be super helpful at all times; for the most part they were. Rental chairs were $50 a pair per day. Purchasing chairs was not feasible since we had no way of getting them home. Other places in the area offer one or two sets of comped beach chair rentals.There were two coffee makers, but a Keurig would be more efficient and less wasteful.The shower pressure was a little light but we were still able to shower without issue. We appreciated the ice maker in the kitchen! A water purifier would be a nice addition in the little sink next to the ice maker.A couple of higher, comfortable chairs with arm rests would have been nice for those in the group that were elderly to sit more comfortably. Another couch in the common room on the topProperty was very clean upon arrival.We would love to to return

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the stay was good. The property was large enough to accommodate our group and the views and beach access were amazing. The decks have some drainage issues which lead to water pooling underneath the top level deck and rust dripping constantly onto the second level and ground floor. other than this aspect of the house it was in good shape and cleanliness.

Amazing Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beach front property has it all and as good as it gets for a large group. Plenty of space and privacy for all. Amazing views from the decks (sunrises and sunsets) with all amenities, wifi, BBQ and a well equipped kitchen with an ice maker was the icing on the cake. The property has an indoor elevator to easily carry luggage. Property was clean, updated, has plenty of parking space and a swimming pool with privacy fence. Great communication from Paradise beach homes and made our stay pleasant and worry free. Our kids and adults had a lot of fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend them and will be back for future rentals.
