We really enjoyed our stay. This property is amazing for adults. I do not recommend this property for young kids as their is no pool fence and the stairs are dangerous. But for an all adult stay it was wonderful.

Florida Family Vacation

We had three generations getting together for our semi annual trip. Our group of 16 had plenty of room. Our teenagers stayed in the apartment above the garage. They had a fantastic time. The pool was well used by all of us.The hosts are very accommodating. I would visit again if we are in the area.

The owners are extremely responsive and attentive, but not overbearing or interfering. The house is great for a large family gathering and has a good separation of space, with several gathering spots for games and hanging out. The driveway is large and will accommodate many vehicles. Also we loved that they did not ask us to pre-clean the house before we left - it made the end of our stay much less stressful!
