Great Family trip!

When we arrived the house was clean and very suitable for our needs. There was room for all of our family and the children loved it! We were able to get to any stores we needed and the beach was just a short drive. We had a lot of fun and was able to relax without crowds of people. My husband was stung by a wasp the first day but we got wasp spray and that was our only complaint but you can’t help nature. Would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful stay in Florida. Would stay again if ever back down that way!

Rural but not!

We absolutely loved our Easter visit. I loved that I could sit out back and listen to the wind in the trees and feel like I was in the country, but get in my car and five minutes later I’m wherever I need to be. The property is very large with lots of room for our family to spread out. We loved the backyard because it is right on a creek. My son-in-law caught a huge drum the yard. My grandson caught fire flies. All the amenities that you need our ride at your fingertips. Plenty of linens. The beds were very comfortable. This will be my go to spot when I go to visit my family in Pensacola. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Not as advertised

We actually didn’t stay, there were already renters. (Roaches). We didn’t even unpack after carrying all the bags inside. There were multiple problems. There was a broken window in the living room. The tv remote didn’t work. The shower curtain stained horribly. The tub was stained. But the kicker was the roaches. We obtained a full refund.

The house was as described. Unfortunately, we had our 94 old mother with us with limited mobility so it was not great for her needs, but that is on me for not asking the right questions and relying on pictures (steps were the issue).The property exterior was great for our 20 year old who loves to explore but a bit too overgrown for me! Lol!
