"Comfortable. Convenient. Clean. Communication. Those are all words that come to mind regarding our stay at Tom's. From booking to checkout, he gets n A on communication. Convenience to the river, the beach, the pool, all were exceptional. The things that we appreciated the most were clean and comfortable. Some properties that you walk into are just a little too pretentious, putting a parent on edge--not so at Tom's. My family felt at home from the get go, and we got to experience a couple of unique touches with the record and DVD collections. We're thankful for our Gorda Getaway."
