My family and I stayed at Garrett and Isabel’s beautiful property while helping my nephew move into FAMU. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed! The home was pristine, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with wonderful amenities.The neighborhood was quiet and safe, making our stay even more relaxing. We especially loved the fully fenced outdoor space, which featured comfortable seating, a fire pit, and a grill. We only wish we’d had more time to enjoy it!Garrett and Isabel provided a warm, welcoming home away from home during such a special family occasion. We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again. It was truly a five-star experience

A very wonderful place for our stay in Tallahassee! Spent a good minute admiring the very good taste in interior design. Spacious and comfortable areas for the family and our dog. Quiet neighborhood to enjoy being outside for. Easy drives to stores, plazas, and gas station. Definitely one to return to the next time we come to the city!

Our stay at the Wekewa Retreat was lovely. The hosts Garret and Isabel have created a space that allows you to come in and relax as well as enjoy some indoor and outdoor entertainment. The home was clean and well stocked with all that you would need… we especially loved the coffee bar options. Morning coffee out on the back patio was a great way to start the day. Prior to our coming and going, the hosts welcomed us, informed us and were available to us for any needs that might arise. When going back to Tally, we would surely want to stay here again. Thank you Garret and Isabel for sharing your sweet home with us.

We had such a wonderful stay at this home. We highly recommend this home! The location was perfect, and the house itself was spotless and beautifully decorated. It felt welcoming the moment we walked in.One of our favorite parts was the game room we loved having ping pong, bikes, and even a Wii to unwind with. The turntable and record collection were such a fun touch, and we really enjoyed listening to music in the evenings. The coffee bar was another highlight and made our mornings feel extra cozy.The home was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.

This home is absolutely stunning! The pictures are 100% accurate, and the decor was beautiful! The check-in process was super easy—we had no issues at all. We arrived late, and there were a few lights left on inside the home, which we really appreciated. There’s nothing like arriving somewhere unfamiliar late at night and walking into a pitch-dark house, so that small touch definitely stood out!The yard was HUMONGOUS! We were in town for a football game, and I absolutely loved how close the home was to the university. The location was perfect for us!And let me say this—the house was CLEAN!!! Everything was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The kids really enjoyed the game room, and the large couch was perfect for them to hang out and play their PlayStation.The host was very nice and provided us with all the information we needed before our stay, which made everything easy.I also have to mention that the home is pet friendly but did NOT smell like pets! We didn’t bring a pet, so I was a little cautious about booking a pet-friendly home, but that was absolutely not an issue. You would never know pets had stayed there.Overall, we had a great stay! If you’re looking for a beautiful, clean, spacious home close to the university, I highly recommend this place. We would definitely stay here again!
