Hands down, the best Vrbo stay we have ever experienced!! Everything was so beautiful appointed so many things provided that made the experience over the top. They checked every single box!!!
The home was squeaky clean with the most comfortable beds. I loved how spacious it was and 3.5 bathrooms was a play too! We stay in Lakeland a lot and will definitely save this one for future stays.
