The property was fantastic!! With 24 people in our group the space was perfect for everyone. Area was real quiet and relaxing, plenty of restaurants and the beach within 10 minutes. The host were accurate in the property description and provided amenities. For a vacation with 11 teenaged girls the property was one less thing to have to worry about. Thank you

Great house for a large group

We had about 30 people in our group and this house was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great features to have along with the dock and small beach. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. Chris communicated well about the house along with providing ground rules to follow during the stay. The amenities were very nice. I would stay here again.

Perfect Wedding

This was a great setting for an outdoor wedding! We set up tables and chairs on the lawn next to the water and had a beautiful sunset wedding. The pool/hot tub was a popular hangout place for everyone. Property management was easy to coordinate with prior to arrival and very helpful if we needed anything during our stay.

Thank you so much for your review, Aryn, and for taking the time to share your experience. I truly appreciate your feedback and want to extend my sincerest apologies for being less available during your stay in April. At the time, I was out of the country and unfortunately had limited access to my phone, which meant I had to transfer day-to-day operations to Crystal, who was on-site and available to assist directly. I did provide her direct contact information to help ensure you were supported and also made every effort to remain responsive via the messaging system during your stay. To our future guests: Your experience is very important to us, and we always aim to provide exceptional communication and service. While we strive to always be directly available, there may be rare instances, such as this one, where I need to rely on my trusted property manager to assist. We take these situations seriously and are constantly working to ensure smooth communication, even in my absence. Please know that your comfort and enjoyment of the property remain our top priority. Aryn, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your special celebration. We are thrilled you chose our property for such an important milestone and hope the vow renewal ceremony was a beautiful and memorable occasion. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us grow and improve. I hope we get the chance to welcome you back in the future!

Unforgettable Weekend with the Gator Crew!

Our engineering organization from UF chose this incredible property for our annual social trip, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. We took full advantage of the sunshine and amenities—spending most of our time outside enjoying the pool, the lake, and the open field for games. The house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our large group, which kept everyone happy throughout the stay. As the perfect finishing touch, we got to watch our Gator basketball team win their way into the NCAA championship—an unforgettable highlight that made the trip even more memorable.

Perfect wedding venue

We had a beautiful wedding experience at The Manor on the Bay. Chris and his staff were very helpful before, during and after our events. The house was clean and spacious and there were plenty of rooms and beds for our entire wedding party. The pool area was beautiful at night. The lawn had several options to set up for our rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception. It was very convenient to host every part of the wedding weekend at one place. I highly recommend Chris’ house for your special event.

The house was a perfect spot for us to have friends and family that came in from out of town. Chris was an excellent host and very communicative! I also want to commend crystal and her team for their hard work on the day that we checked in. I know they had a quick turnaround the day we checked in and she did an amazing job.

Accountability

First and foremost, I’ve never dealt with someone that took less accountability for a property they owned. We wouldn’t go back, we won’t recommend it to anyone, and all adults will be leaving Google reviews. The property had trash all in the front yard, stack of wood, sprinkler heads missing with water shooting everywhere. The back lawn hadn’t been mowed and the deck was under construction with no safety restraints, and no warnings from the owner. We didn’t have electricity on the first floor room for two days, and the upstairs main thermostat was down until the last night of our stay. The property manager agreed to a slap in the face discount of $800. We will dispute the stay as I said with my CC, as well as VRBO.

Hi Jason, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay. I’d like to acknowledge the challenges you faced and provide some context regarding the situation. We did have an electrical issue on the day of your arrival, and I immediately contacted an electrician to address the problem as quickly as possible. Regarding the air conditioning, one of the four units on the property had an intermittent drainage issue that caused cooling disruptions. Every time I or a technician inspected it, the unit appeared to be functioning properly, which made diagnosing and fixing the problem more complicated. However, I understand how frustrating this was and deeply regret the inconvenience. To mitigate the issue, we ensured that every bedroom had its own individual portable or window air conditioning unit, and the three other main units were fully operational during your stay. I also personally met with you to discuss the situation, and I’m grateful we were able to fully resolve the AC problem before your departure. Regarding the outdoor concerns, we acknowledge that the sprinkler issue and lawn maintenance were not up to our usual standards, and I take full responsibility for that. We’ve taken steps to address these issues, including improving our landscaping schedule and ensuring construction areas are clearly marked and safe for guests. I deeply regret that we didn’t meet your expectations during your stay. I appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and I hope that you might reconsider staying with us in the future under better circumstances. Best regards, Chris

Family vacation

This property was great for our large family get together. The pool turned out to be the center of activity. The large size accommodated the entire family. Grandkids were able to enjoy lots of quality time with all their cousins, aunts and uncles! The adults really like the boat dock with high diving area. Didn't need the beach as this property offered everything the family desired for a wonderful week together.
