Thank you for choosing our place for your stay. I truly appreciate how respectful and communicative you were throughout, and I’m glad to have hosted you.
We loved the pool area and backyard! The house was stocked with everything we needed. The beach chairs were in bad shape and pretty much unusable but other than that everything was great! The host got back to me quickly whenever I had questions or needed anything and was very nice and helpful. We were staying for a soccer showcase at IMG and this was a perfect location. Didn’t take long to get to the fields or the beach and lots of restaurants and stores close by. We were staying with two other families and there was plenty of space for everyone.

It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. I’m so glad there was plenty of space for everyone and that communication was helpful throughout your stay. You’re welcome back anytime — we’d love to host you again!
This house was perfect for our family. Great for entertaining children and adults. The palm trees were beautiful, the pool and hot tub were awesome. Everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone.
We had a wonderful experience at this property. The game room and pool were wonderful for the kids especially. Everyone (15 people) had space to hang out and enjoy their time there. They also loved the tree swing. We all enjoyed our stay!

Thanks for the review- we're so glad you all enjoyed!
Overall property was great. Plenty of space for 10 adults. Spent a large amount of time around the pool area. Only downside is that the pool was not very well cleaned and ended up being pretty cold on the last full day despite paying for the pool to be heated.

Thanks for the review and we do apologize for the cold snap of weather! Even with the heater, it was chilly. We're happy the space worked for your large group and enjoyed hosting you!
We really enjoyed our stay. Great location and plenty of room for our family of 13. Kitchen was well stocked and the pool and pool house area entertained us for several days. Pool was cleaned and taken care of. Host was responsive.

We experienced a maintenance problem that occurred after inspection and prior to check-in. The property manager was excellent and a handyman was correcting the matter within an hour.

The house is beautiful, perfect for our large group! Everything we needed was provided and easy to find. The pool and the game room made for a good gathering space. Would 100% recommend! We plan on returning in the near future!
Overall very nice and comfortable. Outside property needs a little more maintenance. Nice pool area and game room.

Thanks for staying with us and we're glad you enjoyed. We appreciate the landscaping feedback and will look into it right away. It was a pleasure hosting you.
Great location and fantastic home for our sports team. Big enough where everyone is comfortable and can be fed easily. Game room and pool were killer for keeping our teens entertained and enjoying each other. So much so that they even put their phones down!!
Had two family’s staying with age range wide of kids. The house was excellent with plenty to keep everyone entertained and made long lasting memories. Thank you

Tropical Oasis
I would highly recommend this property to anyone with a large group. There was more than enough space for a party of 12 and the pool and rec room were great places to watch TV, listen to the radio, play darts/pool or just sit back and relax. In addition, the team was very responsive to all inquiries during our stay. This property was well worth the cost.
This home was as beautiful as the pictures. There was more than enough room for our family of 12. The backyard is truly an oasis with the pool, hot tub and fire pit. The only downside was the mosquitoes. The screened in porch was a great place to enjoy the weather without the mosquitoes.

The property is everything it appears to be online. Our only problem were the mosquitos. Even with spray-many girls had hundreds of bites. Other than that it was a perfect stay!!

Thanks for the review! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and apologize for the mosquitos. Even with treatments the summer rains and dampness have been tough here in Florida. It was a pleasure hosting you!
Spacious home which was clean upon arrival. The game room has its own AC unit keeping you cool and relax with a game of pool or foosball. Large dining room made a great place to gather at the end of the day. Convenient location - not a far drive to the beach. We’ll be back!

The property was everything as described and more!!! Beautiful backyard with an amazing pool! 2 cabanas for relaxing and a gameroom in the garage was a big hit! The gameroom has another kitchen inside which made it nice to bbq ans not have to keep going into the house ans also had a table to eat on as well! Definitely did not disappoint!

Thanks for the review and so glad you enjoyed the amenities!
Overall, this property was really great, and my family only had a few notes. The first thing we noticed was that the heat would randomly get cranked up throughout the night to the high 70s due to the home's electronic system. This, coupled with the fact that there was no air at all in the master bedroom, made for an unpleasant sleeping experience for many. Additionally, the master bedroom's shower did not work AT ALL upon arrival, as expected and outlined in the property photos. The final item, not as promised, was that the outdoor speakers did not work due to the hurricane last year, but they did have a great sound system in the game room. Additionally, everything was super clean, and there were LOTS of things to do around the house and in the game room. We were impressed by the kitchen and dining spaces, and it was great to accommodate our group. Overall, for the pool alone, this was a worthwhile stay, and we would love to stay again!

Thank you for the review and we're glad you enjoyed the pool area and game room! We have instructions in the check in email to explain how to operate that shower. If you didn't read those, we wish you would have called so we could have directed you to them as it is fully operational. We will check the a/c settings immediately also. Thanks again for staying with us!
Great property as advertised. Pool is great for all ages. Games room is perfect. One suggestion - re-route the roof drain on the garage closest to neighbor at front of garage. Rain water runs into the garage corner with the downspout's current position. Thanks.

The house had everything that you need for a family vacation. Kitchen was fully stocked. Spacious rooms. Game room was a hit! The backyard was a Resort Paradise! Great place for family pictures. Anna Maria Island was very close and an awesome beach. Debbie, the property manager, stopped by to replace a couple of lightbulbs. She gave us her number but never needed to call. Thanks for sharing your home with my family. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will return.

Thanks so much for the review! It was our pleasure hosting you!
This property is exactly as listed. The house is an older home that has been renovated. It’s beautiful with a nice kitchen, 5 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms. The detached garage was renovated to a game room with a great kitchen and 2 huge flat screens with a bar/seating by the pool. Now, for the best part… that pool! The backyard feels/looks like your own little private resort. There’s a comfortable little tiki hut where you can relax and watch the kiddos swim. It was really BEAUTIFUL. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! 5/5 recommend.
