The master bedroom has a king size bed and is equipped with a remote controlled television and telephone. The en-suite bathroom has a family size tub with Jacuzzi, large separate shower and two vanity units.

Bedroom two is fitted with a queen size bed and bedroom three is fitted with twin beds. Both have televisions and are served by the family bathroom. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and the villa is fully air-conditioned. Please note that tvs in all bedrooms are not on the cable system. If you wish to use them you are welcome to bring your own chromecast or similar.

The formal dining room can seat six people comfortably. The main lounge is well equipped with sofas and wall mounted TV, sound system and DVD. It also has a breakfast nook. Cable TV, telephone for local calls and Wi-Fi are all available. The family room has a screened office space with two sofas.

The large open kitchen is fully equipped with a hob and double oven, over-sized fridge-freezer with ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker and a telephone. A separate utility room houses a washing machine, tumble dryer and sink.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Apr 2026
Thank you for the review. Sorry you found the pool cold but at this time of year the solar cover is needed to hold the heat overnight. In the warmer months the cover is stored away as it is not required until late November until early April. Regards. Liz.

We had a good time staying here house was large and we all had alot of room. had to ask neighbors when recycling was no info in the book about it garbage can would open anytime you walked past that was weird didn't see anything about pool heat on listing because we would have used it because pool took a long time to heat up all and all we would stay again we had a nice time

Thank you for your review. In the notes I sent you there was reference to the additional cost if you required the electric pool heater to be switched on. It's a shame you didn't call Stephanie as she would have arranged that for you. We do not leave access details for recycling as it is only collected twice a month which is not suitable for visitors on a short time basis. Again, Stephanie would have explained this to you. I am sure there is a notice in the garage explaining this. If was not then I apologise and will make sure it is replaced immediately for future visitors. Regards. Liz.

Family getaway

My family and I enjoyed a relaxing week at this spacious and well maintained property tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. It truly was a hidden gem for our vacation! All of the beds were quite comfortable, the updated kitchen is very nice, and the pool was the perfect temperature for relief from the heat on the hot days!The host is very communicative and provides a thorough list of instructions and helpful information to make all aspects of your stay as easy as possible. Despite a time difference, the host was readily available and responded promptly to any and all correspondence. We would love to stay here in the future for a longer visit and will be saving this location for the future!

Another amazing Family Vacation.

As every year since the last few years this beautiful house didn't disappoint at all. We love all the upgrades were done to the house... Especially the kitchen! That was a big WOW when we opened up the door! The whole Family enjoyed the house and my retired Parents from Poland were so impressed with everything. Thank You so much for having Us... And we'll be there next year too!

Great villa in a very nice, quiet neighbourhood

Nicely laid out and well cared for. Pool excellent and solar heating made swimming a delight. Well equipped throughout. Two small issues - a/c in master bedroom seemed less efficient than the rest of the villa; the kitchen does need an update as one cupboard door fell off! Overall very happy with the villa.

Beautiful house in a lovely location

The house was lovely and clean and welcoming on arrival. The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you may need. A Publix supermarket is located not far away and a bigger Walmart and restaurants are a short drive away. The pool area is lovely and there are lots of inflatables and sun beds, chairs etc. It was easy to get in touch with Liz while we were away and any questions we had she answered speedily and was very helpful after I broke my wrist. I would totally recommend this house for a stay with family or friends in a lovely quiet neighbourhood.

Fairway Oaks Hudson

The rental home was beautiful, clean, spacious just as advertised. What a wonderful space with very large Master suite, office area and living space. Very bright with multiple glass doors overlooking the delightful pool. Liz was more than accommodating to our needs. We had a wonderful time. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the folks we did meet were very nice. The Hudson area is a nice (not crowded) area with Gulf access and shopping/dining very close by. Hoping we can make a return trip sometime soon.

Peaceful Getaway

The property was very nice and well maintained. Not to far from the beach. Love the pool and patio area. The master bedroom was especially nice and the jacuzzi was relaxing and a wonderful addition to have in the room. All the beds were comfortable and plenty of space for everyone. The rules and regulations were excessive but I can understand the concepts of it. It made you feel like you were walking on eggshells the entire time. But definitely a beautiful home. Would highly recommend the property.

Thank you for your feedback. You mention the rules of the house and I am sorry you felt that way, it was never my intention. I write this information in the hope that you will be more at home as the information tells you where everything is and how everything works. I am glad you enjoyed the house and that you have recommended it to other, I thank you.

Don’t pass this up

This house is lovely! It is exceptionally clean and well maintained. It was just the right size for our young family of 4. The kitchen had every dish, pot, pan, small appliance and utensil we could have needed and then some. There were plenty of quality linens for all of us including beach towels! The pool was a dream! It was crystal clear and oh so warm! The location was perfect for us! Close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and our family! The neighborhood was mildly active with people walking their pets and kids playing during the day, and serenely quiet in the evening. We absolutely will be staying here again!!

Relaxing

This is one of the nicer homes we've stayed in. We always try to treat the rentals as if it was our own. It was very well stocked except I would have liked to grill some Hot dogs or something on July 4th. I definitely can understand not having a grill after seeing the condition of grills in other houses. Some of them are fire traps because they haven't been cleaned. Definitely can't take off points for an overall smart choice. The house was like home.
