Peace in the Tropics

Extremely quiet and private backyard. Very clean, tastefully decorated and within walking distance to beaches, shops, bars, restaurants, museums, and art galleries. I highly recommend this property.

Enjoyable Stay

We went with another couple. The house is well-located for walking downtown or going to the beach on foot. It is well-decorated and thoughtfully appointed. It has a nice and private outdoor area. The neighborhood seems friendly and safe.

Tropical escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the cottage twice and have just reserved it for a third visit. Aside from the numerous supplies and comforts, the cottage is art-filled and charming. We couldn’t get enough of the backyard deck and will dream of it until we return.

Delight in Paradise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gumbo Limbo exceeded expectations! The layout worked perfectly for my parents and I during our month long stay, and the front room was perfect for remote work. The house felt clean and well maintained, and all of the bed linens and towels were fresh/new (it’s the small things!). My only recommendation would be one or two more comfortable chairs for the deck, to be able to take more full advantage of the gorgeous backyard.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We will certainly pass along the suggestion for some extra lounge chairs.

A Home Away From Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second January stay. It was nice to return to a comfortable place. The house has everything you need, and then some. The location is perfect —near the buzz of Duval Street, yet apart, and a turn in the other direction has you at the gulf waters for scenic running or walking. The house has a comfortable seating area for reading or watching tv; outside is a private deck with green space. The kitchen had all we needed.
