The home is as advertised, no surprises. The house was very clean and well stock. Check in and out was a breeze. The host was very responsive to my questions. We will be back the next time we are in town.
We were part of a group paddling in a local dragon boat festival. We attend every year and rent several houses in this lovely neighborhood. Never disappoints. This time we brought a few of our furry friends and the house was perfect. Always clean, well-equipped and well maintained.
The inside of the home was fairly clean but the porch and pool area needed sweeping and a good hose down. The pool had sand/dirt in the bottom and what looked like a layer of suntan oil floating on the top. The spa had debris in it. The skimmer basket and basket in the pump had debris in them. The water level was low. I notified the property manager who stated the pool had just been serviced but did offer to come put water in the next day. I am a pool owner so I cleaned both the best I could in hopes we could actually use them because the pool/spa were the reason we booked this house. We paid for heat but there were no instructions on how to turn on the heat or spa and it was not obvious. We didn't feel comfortable using the pool at all and I only got in the spa once which resulted in a skin rash. I do not think the chemicals were balanced, if present at all. If a company is indeed servicing the pool, they are not doing their job. Overall, it was quiet and peaceful but a huge disappointment for our anniversary trip.
We came to Florida to celebrate my buddies wife's 60th birthday. The check-in process was seamless. When we arrived at the house, we could tell already this was going to be a special trip. The house was absolutely immaculate inside. The pictures on the VRBO site do not do it justice. You can tell that the owners of the house either lived here prior to renting, or that other family members stay here during the year. It really looked and felt like a home not a rental. Everything in this house was comfortable. All of the beds in each of the spacious bedrooms, and all the couches in the tastefully decorated living room. The pool and hot tub area was fantastic. There's plenty of seating in the shade for those who want their Florida Sunshine in measured doses. We lowered the temperature in the pool to give it a more refreshing feel instead of feeling like a bathtub. The hot tub water and the pool water were the same temperature all the time. Only the lower jets in the hot tub were functioning as I was told the upper Jets were not connected. That is the only knock I would have on this place. The view of the lake, and the horses at the ranch across the lake, was absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend enjoying yourself at this beautiful home. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the wonderful and helpful owners for keeping this house so gorgeous.
The home inside was good The pool area and decking were lined with sand bags.The deck was damaged and unsafe..boards falling through and nails sticking up and out.The Jacuzzi did not work There is a lake beyond the property but...the water was covering the steps leading to the deck I wish the owner would have informed us of all the weather damage before we arrived for our vacation
Home was very nice. Enjoyed the pool immensely. This was our first time renting a home and everything turned out wonderful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
We went to visit the springs in the area and swim with the manatees. I picked this house because it was pet friendly. It was a great location, and set up well. Plenty of towels, dishes, etc. We paid to have the pool heated, and it was so worth it. The whole pool area was really wonderful. The hot tub though, never got hot, there were complicated directions for it. I had to search for those, they were not in the welcome book. I know it was mentioned in other reviews as well. Other than that, it was great. Very quiet neighborhood, listening to the birds and frogs was great.
The house was as advertised. Beautiful lanai area with pool and hot tub with a lake in the background. The birds that we saw in our short stay were amazing. Nice neighborhood and the town was small but had everything we needed. Very nice house.
Our first time ever using a VRBO. I was nervous at first because I din not hear right away from manager with questions I had, but was at ease once I did hear back. Only issue was the hot tub did not get hot. That was disappointing.
This was a beautiful home. Spacious and secluded. We really enjoyed our stay here while we were vacationing to the springs. It's a short drive to everything. We will definitely be renting this home again in the future. Thank you for the wonderful stay
