Our team stayed at this property for an extended work trip, and it was absolutely perfect for a work group. The house was incredibly clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, giving everyone plenty of space to relax after a long day. The location is fantastic—super convenient to downtown Tallahassee, making our daily commute and team dinners hassle-free. On top of that, the owner was a pleasure to deal with. Communication was quick, clear, and helpful from start to finish. I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area, whether for business or with a large group. We would definitely stay here again!

From the moment we arrived, this place checked every box. Check-in was seamless — clear instructions sent ahead of time, no fumbling around at the door. The home was spotless, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. Everything worked the way it was supposed to.The house was well-stocked beyond the basics — we had everything we needed without making a single run to the store on arrival. The kitchen was fully equipped, linens were fresh, and the space felt like someone actually thought through what guests would need.Location was great — easy to get around, close to everything we needed, and the neighborhood was quiet and comfortable.The host was responsive and communicative throughout. Any question we had was answered quickly and professionally. You could tell they take pride in the property and genuinely want guests to have a good experience.We'd stay here again without hesitation and would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, well-run place in the Tallahassee area.

The Right Place

My family and I needed a place to stay for my daughter’s graduation from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), Cool Haven was perfect! It was in close proximity to the ceremonies and every establishment we visited. The home is spacious inside and out, we loved it!

Excellent place to stay in Tallahassee

The home was large, kept in good condition and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was clean and quiet. There was a very spacious fenced backyard, with a very big patio, with ample tables and chairs. TL was quick to respond to any inquiries that we had. We stayed for 2 months and would highly recommend this rental property.

Great for a family

Spent the week to hang out with my FSU student. It was a perfect set up for that. Spacious living areas and fantastic, private backyard. We enjoyed the jacuzzi tub as well. Nice kitchen. Only suggestion is the bedding could be refreshed - new bedspread, pillows and blanket would have been nice. Again just a suggestion- we enjoyed it and would stay again.
