Don't do it!
We arrived tired after an 11hr trip, no outdoor light on ,not to mention there was an overturned grocery cart in the front yard. We walk into the house and found the glass sliding door to outback open approx 6 inches. The inside we found scuffed yellow walls, stained couch cushions. The floor a a thin laminte the was not secure in some areas. We killed at least 3 cockroachesduring our brief stay. Day 2 we were awoken by neighborhood kids knocking on our door asking us if they could use the pool, which they were told no. The kids spent most of the day playing on our front yard.When we returned from my sister's celebration of ceremony we found the gate to the back yard unlocked. We communicated this to owners who never responded. We reached out and told them giving everything we'd be leaving a day early and asked how they planned to make this right, all they keep saying is they have to talk to management this is day 2 and nothing. Just soo disappointed. This place looks like it was a "flipped house" in need of much more attention! flooring was floor was tihin laminate.

Property was well maintained, immediate response with any of my minor concerns, plenty of room and space yet it allowed everyone to get together and enjoy themselves together +++, after several cancellations from other properties due to the hurricanes in the region, THIS PROPERTY WAS A GODSEND, close to Amusement parks, airports and RJS, the pool is a GEM, I’ll definitely return.

Amazing Property and Great Communication
I booked an 8 day stay that was, unfortunately, cut short by Hurricane Milton. However, I cannot wait to rebook in the future to stay at this property. It has EVERYTHING that you need, and is nicely updated. The bathrooms are very nice, and the pool is a nice size for a traveling family. The best part of this booking was the Awesome communication from the property management company. They were always available and checking in to make sure everything was in place for an enjoyable stay. They communicated throughout the week related to the storm and our ability to return, if we wanted to and were able. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much for everything.

Graduation trip
This property had everything we needed for our trip. The inside was beautiful ! We appreciated the extras that were included (coffee, laundry soap, dishwashing detergent, propane tank to use for the grill). The kitchen had everything we needed plus more, to cook meals. The neighborhood was very quiet. Check in/out was simple! Great communication with the property owners. Thank you!!

Family weekend at Busch Gardens
Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped and we were comfortable. The only issue we had was the condition of the couch and some other furniture. We felt bad for the owners as it looked like a previous guest had damaged their home and it needs to be addressed. The rental agency was extremely responsive. Beds were comfortable, kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Overall I would stay again if they replaced the couch.

Large home with a big fenced in back yard. Great for pets and close to everything. My only negative is that the couch has a lot of stains so it could use a good cleaning but the rest of the house was well kept and comfortable. You will enjoy your stay here.

Super clean!!
I would recommend this property to anyone! The check in was easy- they communicated with me thru my entire stay- above and beyond with communication. They made sure I arrived safe- asked how accessing the property went- and even sent me a text the day of checkout 😁
The property was super clean! There was water and a few snacks left on the kitchen counter for us upon arrival.
Bathrooms had unopened toothbrush, toothpaste, qtips and makeup wipes!
The only small compliment I would have is the ac thermostat- it was set on 79 but you could adjust to any temp but it was on a timer and would eventually reset it self back to 79- 79 was very uncomfortable for us especially with the Florida heat.

This is a wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood. We were 4 adults and 6 teens, and the place was great for us. The check in process was efficient, the house was clean and ample supplies. The property is very conveniently located less than 5 minutes from Busch Gardens. The teens enjoyed the pool table and the heated pool as well.
