Stayed for a week with my two dogs. Very convenient location close to downtown, the beach, and Payne park. Fully fenced large backyard for my dogs to enjoy. Home was clean with everything I needed. Hosts were very friendly and responsive. ##### Ryan M. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen B. 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Caution - Inaccurate past reviews Honest reviews help guests. Mine is not the "good" or "excellent" we saw before booking. This place is in a good location - close to Payne park and walkable to downtown, but the street itself and the house/lot not worth the price comparable to many other fine places we've stayed near DT. Challenges: The front screen door spring and frame were broken as we arrived - hard to carry things in/out. Back door is stuck - have to body slam it to get out. Seems clean, but pet hair found on floors, couch and blanket. Not sure using professional cleaners - your welcome basket, would be a nice touch, but included snacks that were 2 months expired. This is a duplex, with a SHARED backyard, grill, furniture. Pictures show hammock, seating, table all on one side, but not accurate. Didn't expect the neighbor's dog to run at me while trying to enjoy morning coffee. The biggest challenge that makes this property very concerning: YOU CANNOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET! You're expected to put in trash. Does this even qualify as "indoor plumbing"? Past reviews and marketing of this rental are very misleading. ##### Karen B. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tammy C. 23 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 8 week stay We were here for 8 weeks. The location was good. Payne park just around the corner and the legacy trail for walking. Close to downtown. Very cozy and comfy. The kitchen is small but has all the amenities you need! Great stay ##### Tammy C. Stayed 60 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Streamline Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Streamline-Hotel.h17491689.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Grand Key - Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Grand-Key-Key-West.h470834.Hotel-Information) > > [New tiny house available in the country on a 5 acre motocross track MX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myakka-City-Hotels-New-Tiny-House-Available-In-The-Country-On-A-5-Acre-Motocross-Track-MX.h35668895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Key Largo Manatee Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Key-Largo-Manatee-Bay.h5731.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Pointe Suites at Key Largo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Ocean-Pointe-Suites-At-Key-Largo.h5502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn On The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sebring-Hotels-Inn-On-The-Lakes.h2717560.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantic Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Atlantic-Bay-Resort.h2841625.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) > > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning 6 Bedroom Villa on Solterra Resort - pool overlooking conservation area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Stunning-6-Bedroom-Villa-In-Solterra-Resort-Lazy-River-Now-Open.h25169903.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Rod And Gun Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Rod-And-Gun-Club.h13279263.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Club I Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Sea-Club-I-Beach-Resort.h8109251.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Cocoa-Beach.h1210926.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [Dockside Inn & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Dockside-Inn-Resort.h1837964.Hotel-Information) > > [Tortuga Inn Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Tortuga-Inn-Beach-Resort.h1054101.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information)
