Loved staying here!

The perfect spot! The two of us loved this hideaway in a lively, convenient neighborhood. The MCM decor and personal touches are fab and the apartment layout is great, especially the full kitchen. Everything is easy to find in the labeled cabinets. TV works for all streaming services, using your own accounts, and there’s a fun vintage stereo. You can also play CDs in the TV’s DVD player or stream music through the TV using an app. It’s a great size for two people but might seem crowded with more. Not kid friendly because of the furnishings, but charming and fun for adults. Would definitely return. Feels much larger in person than the photos might lead you to believe. Great, communicative host. Clean. Full laundry setup.

This place was "just right" for us!

Our intention was to find a place that we could work out of-the Wi-Fi was great with no problems. We also wanted a place to relax, and a base from where we could explore the town and all the activities the area has to offer. Perfect for us in every way plus the owners wer very helpful.

About the host

Host profile image
I travel for a living AND for pleasure, so I am seldom home, Interested in nearly everything!

Why they chose this property

I've been visiting florida since I was very young. I bought this place while helping my sister and brother-in-law shop for their new home.... and now we all are florida home owners.
I was taken by the bamboo grove and creek. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, and you can walk to a few places nearby.

What makes this property unique

Private setting in a relatively quiet residential area, within a short drive of many amenities and attractions.
