Cute little house that's not so little!

I was impressed with the renovations that have been done. The house provided two rooms for my daughter and her husband and their two daughters close to each other and a master suite that allowed my husband and I to enjoy being with them, but not be disturbed by them. It served as a great home base as we visited family in Florida. We'd definitely stay there again!

This was a great little property and communication with the management team was good. The driveway was a little small for my truck and my bass boat, but it would be fine for three vehicles otherwise. I would stay there again...

Nice place to stay

Place is great to stay. The bedroom that has the sofa bed is really an office. There wasnt a closet or dresser to put away clothes in. Both front bedrooms also didnt have mirrors, so was difficult getting ready when only sharing the one bath. Otherwise, a great place to stay!

due to delayed flight i arrived late evening. i had trouble with the lock box and could not get hold of anybody. I had to stay at a hotel the first night. After that my communication with the contact was good. the contact was apologetic and said they had talked to VRBO about refunding me the first day. I'm still waiting to hear from VRBO about this.
