Great Get Away
We were in town for a wedding and thoroughly enjoyed the property. Things were a little messy after the hurricane, but property was quickly cleaned up and we all enjoyed the back yard/pool/bar/lounge area. Great place to stay.

Hot tub and sauna , not working. Would not have come, if I was informed ahead of time.
Rude reply from host when I addressed the subject. We were there 5 nights. Not once did I see anyone clean the pool or pick up debris off the walk ways. We were on the property alone except for the first night. I finally asked to give me a heads up if anyone else was checking in, ( easy access to property) was nervous about being there alone. My last night a family did come, I don’t think they stayed, although he was notified that the Jacuzzi was broken, but every time I saw him, he was cleaning the pool never saw his kids out there swimming. Anyway, they took $50 off my bill and brought me a bottle of wine for my trouble. HORRIBLE ..

Great location!
The property was very nice! We loved the outdoor area and the actual unit was spacious and clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Loved the location as well. We had a friend’s wedding at La Venture Grove, which is just a few minutes away, so this was the perfect spot. We also went to check out St. Augustine for the day, which was close by and had tons of shops and restaurants. Very cool. We’d stay here again!

Mini family vacation
Perfect for a family, kids can swim and play while parents relax. Close enough to the city to be convenient, but far enough from the crowds. Even makes for a reasonable day trip to Disney/Orlando!

Very Comfortable and Warm.
The property, both inside and out, is beautiful, clean and well kept. The items supplied were abundant. (toiletries, dish soap etc.) The only issue we had was understanding the access instructions. When entering the "Breezeway" it enters into the side of the main house. When we arrived the main house was being used by another family and it feels as if you are walking into someone else private event in order to access the entry for your rental. Also there re no #'s on the units to know which one you have rented. I would definitely stay here again.
