Your home was clean and had all we needed. We felt comfortable and appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. Thank you for all the kitchenware. The pool was lovely - just sitting out back with the water feature was divine. We love to bless the host home with a little gift so we purchased you some coasters for the home! Thank you. ##### Maryann V. Stayed 21 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Randy H. 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Nice pool, but... Nice location & neighborhood, but it's a really old house with limited upgrades; very livable, but needs a lot of work-old & dirty windows, low ceiling height (7'-3'), small bedrooms with inadequate lighting; dead & unmaintained & missing landscaping... Appears to have been unoccupied for a time and hurriedly put up for a rental without any thought to improvement. Nice pool though! ##### Randy H. Stayed 28 nights in Jan 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill C. 30 Mar 2025 #### Great House Great Area The house and pool are great. When little things come up, they are taken care of quickly. Neighbors are friendly, and Gulf Gate has a few good restaurants. The Italian Market and Paisona Bakery are highlights. Buddy's Bagels is ok. ##### Bill C. ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris F. 5 Dec 2022 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Comfortable stay Comfortable stay.
