We rented the house for our daughter’s bridal suite. It was a gorgeous place for the bridal party to dress and the newlyweds to spend their wedding night. Absolutely beautiful setting for a relaxing day of the wedding.
We stayed here because we wanted a nice peaceful place to stay while we were on our business trip. We loved the property and the gator. The home can be score from a good power wash. And a more attentive cleaning crew. But otherwise we had a great time, there is nothing they can do about the mosquitoes so that’s just an area thing. But please be mindful of the mosquitoes if you visit this place.

Hi Shemita, thank you for your review. We’ve passed your feedback along to the homeowner, so they can continue to improve for future guests. We hope to host you again in the future!
This is a nice, small house with an alligator in the pond. The house needs work...the upstairs is stuffy and the windows don't open; the electrical outlet for the coffee maker is not working properly; the lamp next to the double bed upstairs does not work; there are limited coffee mugs in the cabinet.

WOW
Exterior of the house needs a refresh! I understand that the house is next to a beautiful old plantation home, but it needs painting. The bottom half of the house needs underpining or some type of covering. The front steps need repair. Cobwebs & bugs when looking out of the windows. The wooden front door needs varnishing and still needs repair. In fact we had a 30 min delay for check-in because repair man was trying to fix door. We had to check out 3 days early due to LARGE roaches/waterbugs. Upstairs & downstairs. Host contact said they sprayed for pests previously and yes we saw the dead roaches on the side and back of the bed downstairs. A fresh new couch would not be amiss. 4 televisions but I had to buy batteries for the remote.
