Tropical Paradise!

I was here to shoot a TV show for Outdoor Channel. I’ve been to Florida many times for work and this is, by far, the coolest property we've rented. Very quiet, surrounded by giant greenery, pool and everthing as-described on the VRBO site. We'll be back!

Perfect Restful Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful house for a restful family vacation. Spotless and spacious home with plenty of comfortable spaces to read and a large dining room table, perfect for family meals or board games (many games available for use). We loved the decor (sort of a midcentury-beach look with original terrazzo floors) and the well-stocked kitchen (we cooked many meals and the house is close to a very nice fish market and grocery store). The pool area was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully landscaped with numerous seating areas. Beaches are a short drive and the house was also quite convenient to shops and restaurants. Great communication with property management. Would definitely return.

A perfect destination. The place was wonderful and location perfect - A quick 5min drive to the beach and 5min drive to the main drag. We walked to the beach too, very easy! The space was clean and open. The backyard is an absolute paradise. Beautiful pool and lovely table to hang. The rental also has some beach accessories available for use! Would definitely stay again.

Excellent location close to everything. Place is a bit tired.

Overall it’s located in a great location close to everything. The house is dated and the pool is not really inviting like in the photo we didn’t use it. . The yard is very buggy due to the “tropical look” of the property. The house was clean but full of salamanders. Property manager was nice and responsive.
