Such an amazing property! We can't wait to book it again next time we're down! While sitting on the back dock we got to enjoy seeing dolphins, manatees and a couple sea turtles. John the host was also amazing!

From the owner: "We are glad to hear you enjoyed the home’s cleanliness, great location, and that our communication was helpful during your stay. We are always happy to respond quickly when something comes up, and we appreciate you bringing concerns to our attention. Regarding the plumbing issue you mentioned, we are sorry for the inconvenience it caused. After checking the situation, we found signs that items other than toilet paper may have been flushed, which can unfortunately lead to temporary plumbing problems. We do our best to maintain the home carefully and provide guidance in the house rules to help avoid these situations, but we are always ready to assist when needed."

The house has a great layout and was very clean and comfortable. The pool and dock were beautiful too. We saw all kinds of wildlife while just relaxing and drinking coffee in the morning. Host was in contact and very hospitable. We are planning to stay again next year!

overall, our stay was very good. We had communicated with the host in advance of arrival regarding what pool supplies were available for use, such as life jackets and toys for kids to play with. Was told there was nothing at the home currently but would get those things. Arrived and nothing was there. Did contact the host and he did let us know that we could buy what we felt we needed and he would reimburse us for the purchases. We did not end up requesting reimbursement but did purchase some things and just left for future occupants to use. The home met all of our needs which included grandparents, parents and kids. We all had a great time. Would gladly stay here again in the future.
