This property was great! Perfect for my family. Very roomy and clean! The pool was awesome and i definitely recommend having it heated so you can swim at night. Only small complaint i had was the master bed was not comfortable but the nice, big fluffy pillows made it better. I would most definitely stay at this property again!

Harbour Happiness
Two issues on arrival.
Extremely dirty pool deck - 5 days before cleaned
One toilet working- 4 days before fix.
Both very obvious issues which should have been dealt with prior to my arrival.
The house in general is very tired with lots of cracked floor tiles. Generally tired.
Once the issues were sorted, quite liveable.
Good location, enjoyed our stay.

Harbor Happiness
Very convenient location. Overall it was ok. However lanai was dirty with dog hair all over which blows into the pool especially since pool filter wasn’t working and should not have taken 4 days to get fixed. Dog hair all over furniture.
Not enough towels for all guests.
No condiments such as pepper salt, napkins, coffee filters, etc.
Should provide list of what is actually available in the home so renters will know what they need to bring such as a regular coffee maker, dish towels etc.
Garbage left in garage and no room to place ours in the trash can.
Not enough fans for all rooms or install fans in every room.
Thank you

Excellent!
Lovely clean, spacious and comfortable home. Nice, quiet location. We appreciated the very well equipped kitchen as we like to cook sometimes. Already booked again for next year!
The house was perfect for us guys. We are a group of 60+ old boys who have been making a trip once a year to play golf. House was close to everything we needed. Would definitely book again in future.
The home was true to the pictures and the stay overall was great. My kids and grandchildren really enjoyed the pool and the pool table. However there are a couple of upgrades that are needed. Stop buying teflon cookware. Most of the cookware was badly scratched and unuseable. Also, the water pressure needs attention in the showers. We had to call several times about the trash pickup, but the management team was unable cleared it out until our last day. Overflowing trash and Florida heat is not a kind thing. The pool was great and clean. The accommodations for my family were adequate.

Needs upgrading
Good location let down by poor furniture in particular the beds , could do with painting inside . Short of cutlery and crockery . Not helped by 3 full rubbish bins in garage not put out for over a week , very smelly despite numerous complaints management did nothing !
Overall all was good but if a family like ours with 4 children is staying there should be a bare minimum of supplies left for us. There was a roll of paper towel, 2 rolls of toilet paper, 4 dishwasher pods.
We are expected to strip the beds and start the laundry but no laundry detergent left for us.
Propane gas tank at property was basically empty, we had to get a new one to be able to use the grill.

Nice but needs minor fixes
We had a pleasant stay, and overall the house was nice. I did have to clean the lanai before we could go out there. It was dirty and wasn’t cleaned before we arrived or after last people left. We messaged regarding the pool light and front entryway about not working, but never got resolved. The woodwork needs a good cleaning along with the ceramic tile. Otherwise, it was a nice house. Just needs some care.

Nice home bad maintenance
Pool pump went out on the first day. Was never repaired our entire stay. The last day the thermostat quit working, it was 83 degrees indoors before we left early. Due to the pool was now nasty and the house was HOT!!! There was no skimmer provided to help maintain pool.
