We had a wonderful stay. We were questioning the listing since it included a hot tub and lanai. Neither of these were there?

The cage for the pool was missing no hot tub ac was out in the office for a couple days host did fix the situation on ac. Outside furniture was rusted and stained the concrete was stained. Pool had a fixture that was half off. The bedroom mattresses and pad was stained. Shower curtain in large bathroom had not been changed in quite some time. There was a camera in the living room. The location was great and the community was great.
Great location and beautiful water views. We loved spending Christmas and New Year here. Perfect for boating and very dog-friendly. The host was wonderful—highly recommend!
Nice clean house. Our kids loved the pool and fishing off the back dock. My husband and I Loved having coffee in the morning on the dock watching dolphins in the canal. It was a very quiet area and so relaxing!
Our host did a great job of getting us acclimated to the facility. The house was very clean and well maintained. Excellent instructions and minimal “when you leave “ duties.
This home was our home for 5 weeks. My spouse and I and our two labs had a wonderful time! It was so close to our friends. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to stay. Highly recommend!
Our family of 4 stayed here for Spring Break. This house was everything we needed and more. The location is in a quiet canal off a main road making it easy to get to, and close to grocery, gas etc. Also only a mile from Fisherman's village, easily walkable. The house itself is fully stocked with everything you might think you need, the couches and beds so comfy with large tvs in front of all of them. Interior was spotless and beautifully decorated. Honestly I wish we had stayed another week :)
The location was near parks, the harbor, restaurants, shopping area & the downtown. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were excellent, & the house was clean. We expected to have a lanai & use of the pool, but were disappointed when we arrived to find no lanai. The street traffic in front of the house is very busy.
Well appointed mid-mod house on canal. Third bedroom/office okay for short stay. Master bath tight but suffice. Kitchen & gas BBQ grill great for meal prep. Nice front courtyard and beautiful canal view with great outdoor living space. Nice outdoor pool.
