It was nice to have the quiet neighborhood and the beautiful view of the golf course. We loved the lazy days in the pool and great seafood right up the street! The shower in the master bathroom was amazing and bed was super comfy! We will be back to this location! ##### Keri S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cate S. 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house This is a large beautiful house perfect for groups. The patio pool was great for cooling off and just gathering together. It appears to be a new on the vacation rental market, so it needs a few extras for larger groups like more bath towels and cookware. But nothing major. All in all, we had a great time. ##### Cate S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nora L. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and comfortable There were 8 of us for this stay. Entry was easy and the house was clean. We did have to search a bit for towels for the bathrooms and were able to find them. Location is in a quiet neighborhood. The house is spacious and comfortable, plenty of amenities and pool was a great option for all. ##### Nora L. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was a fabulous get away spot! Located in a quiet neighborhood on a golf course (currently closed, but is being maintained). Plenty of space for the family and grandkids. All the amenities were there, including extra coffee which is sometimes hard to come by! The "cocktail pool" was more than adequate size for cooling down and letting the kids have some splash time. Very close to the springs! We enjoyed a day at Hunter Springs. It's only a few miles away, so very walkable. Three Sisters Springs is even closer. Rebecca was very timely with her communication and very helpful. We would stay again! ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025
