Spent two nights with a family of 5 adults. House was in the perfect location, super clean, and managed great. Kitchen and open room provided a great area to sit around and enjoy the company. Will rent again when down here visiting.

Great property. Clean and beautiful. Large kitchen with open concept slider to the huge outside lanai. Lovely home.

What a beautiful home! Our 7 and 3 years old loved the private pool. They swam in it every single day until 9pm at night. We used the 2 kayaks that were available as well and that was a lot of fun and easy to walk to the nature park. Absolutely beautiful! We also used the bikes. Such a perfect place! It has everything that you need: beach chair, umbrella, wagons! Beach toys, tons of floaties! Host Julie was also very quick in responding. We loved our stay!

We have stayed at this property several times over the years and I have to say that I was a little disappointed this year. Overall, the property is still wonderful and met all of our needs, but the cleanliness and upkeep has started to decline. These are some of the things that I noticed;
1. Mildew in the shower track of the ensuite bathroom
2. General disarray of the linens in the closet
3. Sheets on the bed were frayed
4. The patio chairs on the pool deck were filthy, as was the pool decking and tables.
5. The patio occasional tables had holes in the wicker and should really be replaced.
6. When we used the outdoor grill, the grease trap had not been cleaned and in the middle of cooking, there was a fire that singed my husband's eyebrows.
I can't say that we wouldn't stay there again, but for the price, we may look elsewhere in the future.
