The house was great, very well equipped and clean! The location is excellent, very near to many excellent restaurants and shopping. Having Shamrock Park a short walk away was another plus!!
The house is exactly as pictured and we enjoyed all of the spaces. Weather outside was hot and humid, but the house was wonderfully cool; even the lanai was pleasantly shaded and kept cooler with a fan. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and the house had everything we needed for our family with plenty of towels, well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and lots of beach stuff. WiFi was speedy and worked equally well throughout the house. The neighborhood is quiet and Shamrock Park couldn’t be any easier to get to with its walking paths and beautiful playground. We would certainly stay here again.
An absolutely awesome place to stay at an affordable price ! Very close to some of the most beautiful beaches and park and tons of activities to do. Thank you !
Always enjoy spending time at Gecko Getaway- love everything about it! Thank you Adam and Lori for being amazing hosts!
