Valerie was an excellent host and her home is lovely. The layout was perfect for our family and the outside area was thoroughly enjoyed by my entire family. The kitchen was well equipped. There were a few issues during our stay but Valerie communicated with me to address them and offer insight. Bonita Springs is a beautiful area on the west coast and this home was approximately 10 minutes to the beach.
Valerie is an absolute doll! She is a gracious and attentive host! The house is absolutely beautiful - from the spacious rooms to the beautiful back yard, I literally felt that I was truly on vacation. The house is amazingly located to hundreds of restaurants; Publix is literally down the street and the beaches are a short drive away! This was a beautiful house with a beautiful owner! We will be back!

Barbara your 1 in a million best of the best guest I could ever ask for. Thank you so much for the kind caring beautiful words and review. After 12 years hosting you made it all worth it!
The place was perfect for our family of 5. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need. We hope to return in the future. The pool was clean and beautiful.
We stayed here for 9 days and right from the beginning Valerie was very responsive to all of our questions. The house was very clean and well furnished. The pool was great, the house was supplied with a lot of the little things that made the stay more enjoyable.

Thank you my wonderful guests. Looking forward to having everyone back next year.
We had 7 girlfriends gather for such a great get together and the house was so perfect for us. So spacious and comfortable. A very nice screened in porch and pool in the yard. We chose to have our dinners out but the house seemed to be well equipped if you chose to cook there. The host was always available if we had questions.One shower was slow to produce hot water but all of the others were fine.I would recommend this house as a great place to stay! It was in a quiet neighborhood and quite beautiful.
Valerie was very easy to deal with and communicated quickly. The house was perfect for our quick golf get away. Has all the amenities you would need. Thank you Valerie!
the house was absolutely beautiful, loved that we could bring our dog! The neighbors were fantastic! The host got back with me immediately when I had questions! Overall, great place to stay!

Thank you wonderful to host a fantastic family gathering
We stayed Fri-Mon for our wedding weekend and everything was just perfect! It made for a stress free and relaxing weekend! The owner, Valerie, was so nice through the entire process and stay. Not to mention her home is very pet friendly! We would highly recommend.
This was a beautiful home with an amazing swimming pool and jacuzzi. There was so much room for everyone and so many supplies available to us. Valerie was always available by text and very responsive. There were nine of us including a 4 month-old baby. This was the best vacation our family has ever had!

Spacious, open floor plan with fenced back yard for our pup to have some free reign. Great location. Close to everything. Lots of walking/bike trails and even a nice dog park down the road. Valerie was a great host- responsive to anything we needed. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful 6 weeks at the mansion. It was very comfortable and the location is very convenient. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and sunning in the yard.
