This location worked out perfectly for our family. We were in town for the Rugby tournament and it was a short drive to the fields. It has a great fenced in yard for pets. The management team was very responsive and attentive. The only thing that is not as listed is the pool is not saltwater - the pool guy comes twice a week and we were there both times when he dumped a container of chlorine in the pool.

Thank you for the review. Weโ€™re glad the location and fenced yard worked well for your family during the rugby tournament, and that our team was responsive. We apologize for the listing error about the pool โ€” it is chlorine-treated, not saltwater. The pool tech services the pool twice weekly, and weโ€™ll update the listing to make that clear to future guests. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, and weโ€™d be happy to host you again.

Hurricane madness

Enjoyed the 3 nights we got to stay in this house. The amenities were fantastic. House was beautiful. We were supposed to stay 6 nights, but unfortunately Hurricane Milton had other plans. The property managers were very helpful in telling us what we needed to do. They were prompt in refunding the nights we didn't get to stay.

There is nothing more special and important than spending time and creating memories with family. Our family recently enjoyed a baycation(as per my granddaughter) at this property. It is located in a nice neighborhood and local to area attractions. It is family and pet friendly. One evening we accidently locked our dog in the unit. At 10 pm I reached out and within 2 minutes they reached back to give us the important information we needed to access the area. They were receptive to my suggestions to avoid this happening to children or pets of other travelers. Their communication was prompt. There were several items that need future attention. The property maintenance outdoors needs attention. We arrived to find leaves all over and bent screens which did not do the home justice. The lighting is poor. It detracted from all it offered. The yard was fenced for pets, however the yard appears not monitored between all travelers as there was excrement from prior travelers. I felt uncomfortable with letting my pet or grandchildren in the yard. The lanai was screened, but there was rotted wood and broken furniture that needed to be replaced. The pool was wonderful and warm. As a family we spent much time swimming, eating, and laughing. I would recommend the items mentioned be addressed promptly. However, if you love to swim and enjoy family time this is a nice home. One other item was the amount of fees charged once we checked out. There were numerous additional fees a
