We 've used VRBO to reserve stays every year for the past +/- 10 years. I've left my share of negative reviews and mostly no reviews. However, this particular property was very nice and the host was without a doubt the best host we've ever had.
Starting with our late arrival and incredibly long day of traveling, Nadja messaged us to see if there was anything we needed before we arrived at nearly 9:00pm. I said, "WATER" we haven't had anything to drink all day due to turbulence in the air and no time between connecting flights... we were miserable. She offered to go to the grocery store before it closed to make sure we had water for our arrival. To add the icing to the cake... She turned on the hot tub and pool lights for our arrival. IT WAS A PERFECT END TO A LONG HARD DAY!
Our total stay was 14 days and nearly all of it was spent in the covered Lanai next to the pool. I'm pretty sure we used that hot tub every single night and the kids swam everyday that they were there.
The beds were comfortable, the linens were clean and the entire house was spotless upon arrival. If we weren't planning to move to Florida, we would definitely stay here again.
Side note: We used our vacation for house shopping and didn't have a realtor lined up yet. Upon meeting Nadja (the host), we found out that she was in-fact a realtor. After talking with her for just a few minutes, we knew that we wanted her to be the one helping with our Real Estate search. She was so incredibly helpful and we can't wait to get back and see her again once we find our new Florida home!
