My husband and I travel to Florida quite a bit in the winter. We really enjoyed this property. The weather was fantastic so we got to enjoy the pool and hot tub everyday. The house is very bright and has a nice open concept feel to it. The kitchen was really stocked well for meal preparation. Thanks for a nice stay!

Wonderful Property!

My husband and I planned this trip as a getaway for the two of us. The property was wonderful! It was newly decorated with a large open kitchen and living room. The one bedroom opened out into the main area allowing a lot of light throughout the whole unit. It is the first floor of a home with private access to the pool and hot tub. We loved sitting outside in the morning near the pool and looking out onto the canal. The lot is close to the Empire river and we enjoyed watching boats, kayaks and birds. While there are homes next door and across the canal, we did not see anyone while we were outside and it felt like a private oasis. The only potential drawback was the queen size bed. This was on the description but we weren't sure if it would work for us. It was fine! The washer and dryer in the garage were very convenient and there were plenty of pool towels available along with kitchen furnishings. Finally, the hosts were incredibly responsive. Texts were answered immediately and they were so helpful. We had a wonderful time and we would stay here again!

Owners have considered everything at this property and the attention to detail from decor to supplies was a 10/10. One bedroom for parents and pullout couches for kids (which my daughter loved) was perfect. Exclusive access to the pool and beautiful outdoor area was amazing! We will be back!

The property is very nice but when we arrived on a Wednesday, the HVAC unit was not working properly and the temperature in the home was 84 degrees. We immediately notified the property manager and were told a technician would come the next morning. The next day we were told the HVAC unit would need to be replaced. We left the home and were out all day arriving back around 5:00 pm and the technician was still working. The temperature never reached a comfortable level that evening. On Friday, we left early and came back to the home at around 4:30 pm to 81 degrees. We immediately contacted the property manager again who showed up with the technician. We were at this point on day three with uncomfortable temperatures and asked the owners for a refund of our remaining days. We wished to leave. The owners refused telling us we could leave but that we would not be refunded any money. The owners were rather rude via messages telling us that they had spent $5000 on a HVAC unit and mentioning that we had visitors that exceeded the 6 guest limit. We did have our adult kids over to visit for a few hours (making us have 7 people at the pool) but at no time did anyone other than my husband and myself spend the night in this residence. After the technician left on Friday, the system seemed to work better. We ended up staying because we had no other option, having spent $2800 for the week to stay there. The owners refunded $150 cleaning fee for our inconvenience.

Gorgeous Setting and dream vacation place!

We found this beautiful and spotlessly clean vacation first floor home to be exactly as described. The temp. for the first floor cannot be lowered to a lower temp. than 74 F. so that could be a concern if someone requires colder a/c. The place is absolutely stunning. The pool, the dock and the view are perfect along with everything that you may need is supplied. It’s a quick drive to Bonita beach and limitless shopping and Naples. Highly recommend this vrbo and hope to return ASAP. The property manager responded whenever needed for questions. Thank you to the owners! Maura
