Thank you, Sheila, for making our vacation a memorable time. The home was so very spacious, peaceful and comfortable EVERYWHERE!! Inside and out. We spent lots of time on the back patio. Comfortable furniture with space for outside dinners. The home was filled with lots of many amenities. We couldn't get the printed connected, but it's new and waiting orr the next guest. So many areas to just sit and relax or gather with loved ones. We can certainly see that you put lots of thought into making your guest feel welcome here. One other thing, Sheila's responsiveness and willing to assist was amazing. Much appreciated. Thanks again.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT!! I didn’t, I relied on my son and nieces to pick a place. The day before my trip I got an email that I needed to put down a $4500 security deposit or pay a non refundable amount on this house that I only rented for a weekend. I was shocked. I’ve rented places that were brand new 7 bedrooms 9 bathrooms for a week in Orlando, brand new and modern with theater and game rooms pool jacuzzi and the deposit was only $1000 so $4500 was confusing. No choice so I paid the nonrefundable amount. On the morning of checkin I was notified for $40 per hour I could check in early. I declined and was allowed in at 2. The house is nice, it’s older but well stocked, pretty, clean, neat and spacious. The location is in a residential neighborhood in the middle of nowhere. 25/30 mins from the beach. The host reached out to me every single day of my stay which I felt was a little bothersome. Was a nice stay but next year will pick a place on the beach instead.

The stay was nice…My family & I enjoyed it…There was a few things that wasn’t appealing to us though…Those things were: the grass needing to be cut, the hedges needed to be trimmed & shaped & edging of the yard in front, back & sides…The trees to the rear of the yard was overgrown & not trimmed! The ants on the patio were horrible upon arrival & maintained throughout our stay! An exterminator needs to be called regularly to allow the guests to enjoy the patio…The ceiling fan in the living room was inoperable! If she would have someone to maintain these items regularly & perform those specific jobs, I think it will be a beautiful vacation home!
