Thank you for your feedback, as it is very important to us. The home was built in 1993, but the owner has new furniture throughout. We are sorry you felt that it should be updated. We have passed on your thoughts to the owner. The property manager has addressed the issues with the garage and everything is functioning properly. We hope you were able to enjoy your stay anyway!

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that you were not pleased with our services. The electric allowance is stated on the property's listing to ensure guests know how it works prior to booking. While we held your deposit to investigate the stained comforter, it was ultimately returned to you and you were not held responsible. Thank you for letting us know about the silverfish you saw during your stay so we may follow up with the owner about addressing it with pest control for future guests.

Beautiful home

Great location. Pool was warm. House is beautiful. Close to restaurants and grocery store. Boat ramp is 5 minutes away. Loved the boat lift: if you use it - make sure to leave it out of the water when you leave. Watch the electricity use, because they do charge if you go over. Make sure you are ready to leave at check out because they arrived right at 10 for inspection. House supplied with everything you need. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for opening up your home.

Wonderful clean home close to everything

We truly enjoyed our stay this week. The grandkids loved the pool and we loved the spacious and comfy home. Everything was clean. Only downside was floors are slippery when wet ( we managed ) and since we flew a couple beach chairs would have been handy. The price was well worth it and we’d love to stay again.

So relaxing

This neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. The home was better than the pictures showed. It was so spacious and came with everything that you could need. The pool was awesome. If you plan on fishing in the evening make sure you bring bug spray. We saw manatees and sting rays and caught a lot of fish, mostly catfish but we are not saltwater fishers so we may have been doing it wrong. We did get a couple of mangrove snappers and saw tarpon jumping. The beach is a little bit of a drive but it was a nice drive. We ate at the boat house and it was a great environment and delicious food. We all (even the 13 year old) really enjoyed it

Overall good

Overall the experience was good. The location is not great for fishing because it takes about 25 to 30 minutes to get out of the canal system thank the open water where you can get up on plane. The house is extremely clean, one of the cleanest rentals I have ever been in.
