A Piece of Paradise

Date of Stay: 07/16/11 Review Submitted: 07/23/11

We absolutely loved this house! It was just as pictured and even better. The saltwater pool was amazing! We spent many days and nights by the pool listening to music and even watching TV. It is a great entertaining home! We had friends from the area come over and they loved it. The property manager, Cathie, is the BEST! Anything you need and she is but a phone call (or text) away. The house was also very clean....spotless.

Owner response:Thanks for your excellent review.! spiros and cathie

Great Experience Guest: andy (Georgia) Date of Stay: June 2, 2011 Review Submitted: June 10, 2011 First off, Cathie, the property manager went WAY out of her way to make our weekend enjoyable. She offered to stack the fridge, work her day around our arrival, sent us leftovers and even made us a key lime pie! She was Great! The house itself was perfect for our group. We enjoyed the pool, grill, and the other ammenities. We played golf all weekend, so it was nice relaxing in the pool and hot tub at night. Cathie made sure the hot tub was warm before we got home from golf. We've traveled to the Jupiter, West Palm, Hobe Sound area the last 4 years for a golf trip and this is by FAR the best house we've rented. Thank you Cathie and Spiros!!

cox family review

Guest: cox
Date of Stay: 04/01/10 Review Submitted: 09/28/10

Spiros, We have rented homes on spring break for the past 7yrs. This is clearly one of the best rentals. It was so clean and believe me that has not always been the case with past vacation rentals. Your pool area made us feel like we were in complete paradise! Kathy always made sure we were comfortable with our stay....but with out infringing on us! Our kids loved her! Your place has stole our hearts for the Atlantic side! Wow we had the best time. We did research on Jupiter Florida for things to do. We found a ferry that you can take to Peanut Island. I called the captain a couple months before our vacation and he told me to call 2 days before we were planning to take the ferry so we can know the time that the caribean tide rolls in because there is good snorkeling. He also told me dont wait and buy the snorkel gear here- said go to Walmart and buy a cheap set for the kids and to pack a cooler with food and drinks, bring chairs or blankets. Because all that is on the island is tiki huts, palm trees and beach. So we did exactly what the captain said, called two days before and said the caribean tide rolled in at 10:30, we went to Walmart and bought snorkel gear for $12 ea, packed a cooler, took chairs and Kathy gave us a couple of beach blankets of hers. My husband thought I was crazy, he told me the kids weren't going to see anything in the water because I made him stop at Walgreens to buy the cheap underwater camera's. Soon as the ferry docked the kids look down and saw sting ray and all sorts of tropical fish and my husband looked at me and said you were right I was wrong. It was just like we entered the Bahama's. They saw tons of tropical fish a barracoda, and sting ray. They have an awesome man made lagoon there for kids to snorkel in that is beautiful. The kids loved it. We had the absolute best trip and we still talk about it. My husband took all of our pictures and made a slide show with music. We are unsure of our next spring break vacation plans, but your home is for sure the place we want to come back too. Your home is way more than we expected. When we came to visit my husband was needing the break badly, he is a physician assistant on weekends and was completing his last 2 months of medical school at Michigan State University. All he wanted was a quiet, relaxing time and your home/pool area gave him that. Thank you very much for such a great vacation! The Cox family

Thank you very much for allowing to stay in your lovely house. It exceeded our expectations. Cathy went above and beyond her duties to make our stay lovely (She even offered my daughter, a horse lover, to ride her horse). We had everything we needed and more. We will definitely stay again at your lovely place. We go to Jupiter every year for the holidays, and will contact you again. We are vacation rental owners our selves) John and Ingrid.
