Good stay but a little disappointed

Loved the house and pool, rooms were very comfortable. Kitchen was spacious. TV issues all week. I was disappointed because the house cleaners were still on site when we arrived at 4:15pm. Laundry over stuffed in the dryer that we had to complete in two separate loads because it was over stuffed with bed sheets and towels. Bathroom sinks drained extremely slow and lots of hair in the master shower. I think the detailed cleaning was rushed because they were running late.

Great Vacation House!

My family greatly enjoyed staying at this house for our FL vacation. The property managers at SWFL Rentals were very helpful and accommodating from start to finish. Great property (very clean with extra COVID sanitation measures) with nice pool, sauna, and boat dock on a canal lake. We rented a boat and docked it at the property during our stay.

Absolutely beautiful!

We already miss it! The house and property are beautiful and will be returning next year. We rented a boat for four days and each time we took the boat out we saw dolphins in the canal! We spent 95% of the time at the property itself in the pool or out on the water. The house is clean and property managers a phone call away!

Home needs attention

This home built in 2002 was once stellar. Now it is revealing its age. We rented this for a family Christmas excursion. Everyone was excited by the heated pool and and hot tub. Unfortunately we were unable to swim or use the spa due to a faulty heater. Upon arrival I noticed that there was no cold water in one of the master bedroom sinks. I called the property manager and they assured me it would be fixed. It never was. The next day hot water in the other sink failed. Nothing was done to correct this either. The property states that there are sleeping accommodations for eight. This is not true. The sleeper sofa is an instrument of torture and should be discarded. The same is true of one of the bunk bed mattresses. We enjoyed our stay, despite the deficiencies I have stated. Overall, the house is comfortable and well suited for entertaining. When you pay a premium price for a property, you expect excellence. This was not our experience. This could be an awesome home with an investment of a few thousand dollars to correct the plumbing and upgrade the mattresses. Sincerely, Neal

This was a great home for my family of 7. With 5 kids aged 4 to 17, there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The pool and hot tub were perfect and the fishing from the dock at the house was the highlight for my kids!
