Would definitely recommend
The place was a great place to stay. The view from the back yard (where we spent most of our time) was spectacular. The pool was awesome. Would have given it 5 overall, but the Spa never got warm at all and seemed dirty to me. Also, no late check out even if you do all the laundry. Asked for two extra hours. Still did the laundry. ,

Beautiful backyard, reno overdue
The backyard view is the highlight of this home. Inside is decent enough, but this property needs updating and renovation. The bedding was poor quality, and the bathrooms need better water pressure. At some point, the fire alarm went off for a few minutes randomly also. We enjoyed the hot tub and view, so we spent lots of time outside.

We had a wonderful trip and tons of memories …the pictures doesn’t give justice to what the house really looks like … the house is very big and has plenty room for a large family or two , beds are very comfortable and the house is stocked with everything needed ..the only thing I would recommend is it having another ac unit , the house is to big for one unit and got very warm inside no matter what temperature you had on

It's a great place to spend time with family/friends
The house is very roomy and clean. It has a large pool deep enough to accommodate virtually any needs.
There is also a pool table and a choice of board games in case if one ever gets tired of seating on the patio or in a bar section. The property is dog-friendly and is fensed to offer privacy and security. Beaches are only 20 min away and are of a great quality. The property manager (Kristi) answered all our questions in a matter of seconds. We had a great time there. Thanks for having us!

Vacation and baseball tournament at IMG Academy
I can not say enough about how wonderful this home was for us. The pool and outdoor space was amazing! We swam every day and every night! We played cards and hung out on the patio every day and night! It is awesome there is a tv out there for sports , news or whatever you like to have on. The pool table was used every night. The living room was so comfy and homie! We watched movies in the evenings after a long day out in the sun. The beds were comfy and it was close to the beach and shops. I actually have nothing negative to say about this place. Whenever I had any questions before or during the stay Kristi or Nate responded right away! We had two families staying here with 6 kids total ( ages 16-22) Everyone raved about it being the most ideal place to stay and it really made our vacation what it was! We will definitely be booking this again!

Friends Vacation
We looked at places that would keep our two families close but would also allow our pets. We had never rented a house with friends before, and this was definitely accommodating! It rained more than we would have liked, but the pool table and games were great to have for those times when we couldn’t go to the beach. Everyone enjoyed the pool. The dog enjoyed the yard and being off his leash. The location is near everything. We were pleased!

Amazing Quiet Retreat
The pictures of this home, like many other reviews state does it no justice! Wow, talk about beautiful! My family and I came down from MD for a family wedding and were contemplating a move to FL after staying here. Everything you need was in the home including ice. The rooms were large and clean. Although my boys complained about the size of the TV in their room, the living room monster made up for it. The host was very responsive and provided clear directions for check in and checkout. The pool, although, not heated, was perfect. We enjoyed using the multitude of toys available as well. It looks well maintained and we left it the same beautiful way we found it. If we come down to this area again, this will definitely be the house we choose. You won't be disappointed. 😉

Great Family House
we gathered for Christmas week and needed space since covid would not allow us any outings. this home was perfect. the house is large vintage florida with just the right amount of updates, and above all, space. the extra large yard on the lake was clutch for the dogs and kids. it was too cold for the pool, though we did take a polar plunge and spent lots of time hanging out by it. only disappointment (very minor) was that there is no fire pit as shown in the photos. (upon review it is not listed in the amenities)would definitely rent again and recommend.
