My family and I had a very lovely weekend stay. Would have liked to have spent more time here exploring the area. We will be back! The setting ended up being perfect for my son to pop the question to his now, Fiancee!

New pool is amazing! Oh the Sunsets….Host was great. Took care of any issues we had right away. So close to lots of neat things to do. Easy drive to Airport and downtown Tampa. Pine island beach is close and really nice. Java Kava had our coffee cravings and unique food. Lazy Lizzard, good music and food. Both 5 min. Away! Highly recommend this home….

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It truly was a pleasure having you here for the month. I really appreciated how caring and thoughtful you were during your stay—watering the new sod and letting me know right away when the washer quit. Guests like you make hosting easy.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the new pool and those gorgeous sunsets. I wish all of my guests were as kind and considerate as you. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Except for the entry door not locking properly everything was great
