So clean and very serene, we enjoyed the backyard oasis it was incredible. We lived in the pool, really enjoyed the neighborhood and how close we were to everything.
This house was great for our family of 6. The backyard felt so private even though it was in a dense neighborhood. Truly felt like we were at a resort in the back yard. The host was super responsive. It has everything we needed and we were glad to have a comfortable space to be. The bathrooms are beautiful and the whole house was very clean. Clean bathrooms are super important to me and I didn’t worry for a second in this home.
Our stay was perfect at the house. The description is very accurate and the backyard is extremely private. Would highly recommend and would stay here again!! Megan was super response and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay.

We so appreciate your amazing review! Thank you for choosing to stay with us.
We had a great time here. The backyard was absolutely gorgeous, the trees and greenery made it feel like we were in a private resort. The pool and hot tub were kept sparkling clean and perfect temperature. There was both sun and shade to be found. Inside, the house was pristine and the beds were so comfortable, the kitchen has everything we needed. It was truly an exceptional stay.

Hi Cynthia, we're sorry that it gets a little buggy! We are now spraying the backyard so it's less buggy.
Overall the property is as listed. The pool is great and feels like a tropical oasis. But, with tropical plants and water comes mosquitoes. Be sure to pack bug spray! The inside of the home is very cute and cozy offering all the basic amenities. Being FL in the middle of summer, air conditioning is critical for comfort. The AC was not turning on and cooling the house causing warm and uncomfortable nights. The first three days the house stayed above 72 despite being set to about 65. It wasn’t until the afternoon of our third day the handyman showed up and it still took until about 2am for the house to cool down.
