One of the best stays we’ve ever done! The pool is absolutely amazing but you’ll never want to leave once you use the outdoor shower! The office space was a hidden gem. The whole place was very cozy and clean. There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like. We miss it already and would go back every year! Thanks so much for having us!

When we chose this home as our vacation spot, it was the pictures that sold me. When we got here, we actually fell in love with it. Every day I noticed a new detail of something you guys did to the house, a decor item, the renovation details, which told me this is a place that you love, not just an investment property. We took care of it as if it was our own, because we felt at home. The home is not only extremely well appointed, but everything, and I mean everything, is of extraordinary good taste. I love to grill and I was missing having my big green egg (I used to have one when we lived in a house). It’s rare to see these in a rental house, it tells me it was put there because you love it as well.The pool is amazing, the outdoor shower unique, the home theater in the pool house is perfect for a movie night.I could go on and on. We also loved the town and the beaches. We are definitely coming back, and we are hoping to get more time in this wonderful home.This is exactly the type of home I dream of retiring in one day.Thank you for being such gracious hosts and promptly answering any questions I had and thank you for this unforgettable experience!

This was truly an awesome experience. The house is clean and has any and everything you could ever need!! The host always got back to me in minutes! Perfect check in notes and a detailed book of all the instructions for the house. The pool was perfect and the pool house was a private oasis from the main house. The outside shower is delightful and the fenced yard brought comfort in letting the dogs run. The screened patio was enjoyable and the lanai was such a beautiful space to just hang out and unwind with friends. We appreciate having the dogs with us on vacation! We would definitely recommend and hope to return to enjoy this wonderfully decorated, eclectic house!

The house was clean and was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor living space was fantastic and the pool was super nine. The separate building with bed and super theater room was perfect. We loved the location to shopping and the Venice downtown area. Quite friendly neighborhood and great for walking and bicycling. There were playgrounds in the neighborhood and park a few blocks away with pickle ball and tennis courts. So relaxing and great for grilling out on the patio!
