Where to begin? Before the wheels on our plane even touched the ground, Bernard made sure to check on us and make us feel more than welcome. Once we hit the ground Bernard picked us at the airport (12:30am mind you) and gave us the grand tour. Everything at our rental has been thought out to a T; from our favorite coffee creamer waiting in the fridge to the luxury spa robes set out neatly on the bed. Bernard’s hope is more than beautiful; between the pool, landscaping, and interior design this is your own personal paradise in the middle of a bustling city. Bernard has every recommendation you will ever need for local cuisine and everything else. We just so happened to pick the week when it rained 30 inches in 24 hours and the whole city was flooded. Bernard went out of his way (making cookies, banana bread, checking on us) to give us a great experience even with the weather. Luckily, our last couple days the sun came out and we got to experience the true Florida vacation we planned for. We CANNOT recommend this place enough if you want a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Close enough to anything you can imagine to do for fun, yet far enough away to get to enjoy the peace and quite on a beautiful Florida night. We are planning our trip back for next year and will most definitely be staying here again. Thanks again Bernard for everything, could not have been more perfect. 11/10 stars ⭐️
