Lance was a welcoming host!
6.0 / 10.0
Let me start off by saying that Lance was a fantastic host. His communication was solid, did everything he said he would, etc. - all the good stuff you want in a host. If I had to describe this house in a nutshell, it is tired. It's beat up, lots of little things didn't work (ceiling fans, light bulbs, outlets), many cosmetic issues and just several things that make you say "why would you do that?". For example, one bedroom has white, opaque SHOWER CURTAINS as window treatments. In the same room, the ceiling fan didn't work and the bed was broken. Additionally, the couches in the living room are beat to death and the outdoor loungers have seen much better days. This is not a fault of theirs but it should be noted that the current view out the back yard is of a pile of rubble, as the house across the street was sold, torn down and a new home is being built. Again, not their fault, but construction noise did start at 7am on a Monday and continued all day for three days. Now to be fair, there were some positives: the location is great, the outdoor grill was brand new, all the appliances worked well and the place was SPARKLING CLEAN. I will not go as far as to say the photos are misleading, but they are certainly dated and do not show the house in its current condition.

Property was easy to get comfortable in. We had a small issue with the freezer while we were there but the owners were extremely responsive and helpful. Our reunion of college friends enjoyed our time in this house.
4.0 / 10.0
I’m sure the property was very nice at some point, but that point was likely 10+ years ago. The property has two things going for it… number of bedrooms and location.
That being said, my complaints are numerous:
1. The HVAC system is not capable of cooling the house to a comfortable temperature. All of the bedrooms were 80+ degrees at night.
2. Numerous doors were broken or missing doorknobs. One of the double doors leading out to the pool has a chain with padlock around the handles b/c that is the only way to keep them from swinging open.
3. The couch in the tv room is old, peeling, and broken.
4. The pool was dirty and cloudy. The pool bottom and plaster is peeled and cracked. It also appears the pool pump and equipment has not been serviced and did not appear to run once in the three days we were there.
5. The gate and fences around the yard are broken or breaking.
6. The swings on the back dock are broken and unstable and also appear to be carrying standing water in the canopy.
7. The pool furniture is very old, moldy, and in poor condition.
8. The backyard gazebo-style umbrellas is old and torn and poorly patched.
9. The putting green is not usable, as the pvc that serves as the holes extend out above the level of the green itself.
10. The ceiling in the kitchen is stained and dirty
11. Several of the beds appeared to be very old and uncomfortable
Overall, it was a negative experience. These are not minor things. This house need to be rehab. The pictures are deceptive.

Nine of us stayed at the French Castilla Beach House. We had more than enough space to spread out, and appreciated all of the bathrooms. The pool was just lovely! Our host, Lance, went above and beyond. He was responsive and generous. We all appreciated him. We’re looking forward to a return trip. Watch out, Lance, we’ll be back!

Great Spring Break stay in a great location. Nice neighborhood.
The house has so much room for the 14 of us who stayed. Several cozy gathering rooms to spread out or hang out together. Loved the outside area where you could hang at the pool, on the dock, or take a kayak ride in the canal.
Communication with the owner was easy and they were very helpful with any questions.

Corner plot in a gorgeous neighborhood. Home really suited for bringing together large families - which worked for us since we had teens and 3 children under 7 all coming together - three families.
Check-in was really easy, and owner (Lance) communicated early and often prior to our arrival. Also chatted with him and his wife (Danielle) a few times during their morning walks through the area.
Some favorite things about the home:
1.) Good sized pool and plenty of loungers.
2.) Super family-sized dining table that could seat us all.
3.) Water toys to use in the canals - canoe/paddleboard.
Things that could have been better:
1.) A house was being built on the opposite side of the canal and so for a few hours per day there was a little noise as they banged in pylons. (I imagine that is all complete now.)
10.0 / 10.0
The he house was amazing and Lance was great to communicate with the entire time. We had 12 guests total and the house had more than enough room for all of us. It was very spacious and we spent the majority of our time in the pool or on the deck. The location is perfect, minutes from the beach and minutes from downtown. Couldn’t be a better location. It rained pretty heavy for a few hours but the house has a giant cover/tent in the back yard near the pool so we sat out there for a little and stayed completely dry. It was also great to sit under the covering to get some shade during the sunny days too!

My family of 10 stayed at this paradise property. We truly enjoyed the pool, the beach, and the family time together. My son is being deployed the beginning of next year and this trip was very special to us. Thank you to Lance and his brother for the accommodations, and the quick responses when we needed something. We will definitely be back in the future.

The locator was a great proximity to the beach and the house was perfect fit our large group. Lance is one of the best hosts I’ve ever rented from and I travel monthly. Totally recommend this property. Loved having a pool all to ourselves and the dock was lots of fun.

Pretty, idiosyncratic house with a lovely pool that overlooks the canal. Communication with the property manager was great.
