Luxury Home With Private Pool Situated On Tara Golf And Country Club

Thank-you Christine for your review. I also want to thank you for being available and assisting with a couple issues we had with the pool. You are welcome back to my home at any time.

Olga and her family were wonderful renters. Unfortunately I made a mistake in scoring the stay as all 4's. I tried to change those scores to 5's but due to VRBO's rules, I am unable to make a change after the review is submitted. I would recommend Olga and family to other home owners. While there was little communication needed, they were very attentive and observed all house rules and left the home in a very good condition.

Hi Lisa: Thanks for your review. Would be happy to rent to you again any time. Hope you and family had a safe trip back home.

Thank-you Samantha. I look forward to hosting you and your family again soon.

Thank you Maureen. Looking forward to you next visit. You are always welcome. John

Thanks Kelley for your kind words. You and your family were a pleasure to work with. Glad you enjoyed my home. Please come back sometime.

Thank-you Dennis for your review. It was a pleasure hosting you in our home and thank-you for being so accommodating. I hope you return again soon. John

Thanks Stacie for your positive comments. I’m happy you enjoyed our home. Sorry to hear about the issue with the door code but I’m happy my management company got it rectified quickly. I look forward to you staying at our home again…….John

Thank-you for your comments about my home. I just want to comment on the pool issue. The pool is heated by solar panels on the roof of the house, therefore there is no extra charge to heat the pool. This must have been misunderstanding when you checked in. I'll check to ensure the water was flowing through the solar panels. I'm happy that you enjoyed our home.

Thanks for your very great review of our home. It is nice to see you and your family return again. We are so happy you got to experience the bird life on the pond behind our home. Looking forward to hosting you and your family again soon.

Hi Pion. Thank you for your review. I’m sorry that you found those issues with our home. I have never had such issues previously and I’ll bring them to the attention of my management company Gulf Coast Property Management. The bedding is changed after every renter so I’m surprised you thought they were not changed.

Thank-you for your comments on my home. However, I am disappointed in this review. I specifically advised the renter that the pool was heated only by solar panels on the roof. Solar panels are just that, pipes running to the roof to 6 solar panels (in this case) through which the water runs. The pool temperature is dependent entirely on the amount of sun at the time. Unfortunately, in the month of December, one cannot determine the amount of sun we will receive or the water temperature. As for the "white goods" this is the first complaint we have had about them and we have already replaced the kettle. The toaster is in good working order, however, will look at whether it needs replacing. We have an ample supply of other small appliances, which you don't normally see in a vacation rental, which are also in excellent condition. While this is a vacation home, it is also our private home which we rent out a few months of the year. All one needs to do is observe the extra personal touches to the decorating to know this. Hence, I don't feel it is uncommon for the owner to store personal items in locked cabinets in the garage. Also the home has a large 2 car garage with sufficient room for a second vehicle. I was not aware that my vehicle parked in the garage would be an issue. It could easily be moved out if requested and warranted. Thank-you for this review..... John

Thanks Terri for your great review. We try to provide our renters with a real home experience and, since we are not there to verify, we stress the importance of cleanliness to our cleaners and the maintenance of our shrubbery to our ground's keepers . Happy you got to enjoy the wildlife in the area and I hope you come back to visit again soon. John
