Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shanon R. 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Great Week For A Wedding When we first arrived, it was dark and the outside lights were on as well as having motion sensor lights, so that helped. I seemed like a nice safe neighborhood with a park down the street. We entered the code into the door lock and walked into a very inviting, clean and nice smelling house. The owner's even left a welcome basket on the front counter with crackers and snack food. I had a couple of questions, and when I called the owners about it, they responded right away, and were so nice about it. So, we got there the weekend before my wedding on Siesta Key, and stayed until two days afterwards, totaling eight days. I would have liked to stay longer, but alas, we had to go back up north and get back to the grind. To the owners: (I know there names but not sure if I should share them on a review), Thank you so much for the stress-free stay in your house!! -S&J ##### Shanon R.
