House (trailer) was just ok, had a few cleanliness issues but Mo addressed them quickly. Very good communication but would have been better if the issues hadn’t happened. Neighborhood wasn’t super nice but felt very safe. We stayed 3 weeks so got to know the place pretty well. ##### Bob B. Stayed 21 nights in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### karen d. 5 Feb 2019 #### Pleasantly surprised The host Mauro was very friendly, and quick to respond to us each time. We stayed for a month and Mauro gave us a great reduced price for the length of stay. This double mobile home was surprisingly more open than showed in the pictures. The views were great and it's location was at the mouth of the channels which offered the most privacy on the channels. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to go up and down the channels and definitely realized that this was one of the most private spots being at the opening of the channel. The interior of the home was updated and refreshing The king bed sags in the middle. The windows were dirty and were washed by us in order to clearly see the beautiful view. The Dolphins really do come around often as do the Manatees. We would go back to this home. Recommendation: Ideally for our company, a small deck (level with inside floor) out front would allow for easier access to outside because of mobility challenges ##### karen d.

However, it is full of what appears to be black mold and has a stench that supports that. We had to open EVERY window and run the AC unit 24/7. We left early in the morning and stayed away til late at night. We eventually left early because of breathing problems associated with this home. Our family and newborn granddaughter was supposed to join us but there was NO WAY we would let them enter this home. ##### Kimberly P.
