John’s place was a nicely decorated home and very clean upon arrival. He was extremely responsive to our inquiries, as well as, friendly, courteous and very accommodating in our requests. The pool was a very enjoyable for a swim after a long day of fishing. We drove our 24 foot boat to the home by water, and the location of the home was perfect for offshore fishing near Port Canaveral! We caught a 38” Spanish Mackerel and a 36” Barracuda! We both had a really nice time staying in this home! We will stay at this home again because the entire experience was awesome! Thank you, John so much for the wonderful accommodations! Kim & Jim Walsh

The house was great. The fishing off the deck was fantastic. No complaints at all about the house. The week before our trip I contacted them to get the pool heater running for the trip, which cost me $485. The morning of our flight I get a missed called from a Florida number and then a voicemail from the actual homeowner. I called him up and he said he was at the house but a sensor he was waiting on for the pool heater didn’t show. He told me he’d tell Airbnb to refund me my money. During the week I requested the refund as well, but they said since it was already a couple days into my stay they couldn’t process it fully. Then they said the homeowner only authorized a 50% refund. I texted him and asked why, and he tried to call. I asked him to text so it was on record and he ghosted me. So I still ended up paying $250 to not heat the pool. The heater was never on, the homeowner told me it wouldn’t be, then he told Evolve it was but it was just slow. It was so bizarre.
