If you want a host who will treat you like family, Tom and Richelle are the couple you want to book with. While we did have some issues at the beginning of our trip, they went above and beyond to make sure that they were taken care of AND that we still had an amazing experience. Their responsiveness was noteworthy and their understanding and efficiency were impressive. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at their property again and would recommend them to anyone looking for hosts who truly care about their guests experience. This is a rare thing these days and our family is very grateful. Additionally, the neighborhood was quiet and super close to our favorite AMI beaches and GT Bray disc golf course as well as some of the best Nature Preserves in the area. You won't be disappointed with this location!

This place had ample, comfortable seating both inside and out. It was in a charming neighborhood and provided us with a comfortable stay while we were in town for graduation. The beds were comfortable and the ceiling fans and AC worked perfectly. Spacious and extremely comfortable.

Could Have Been Better

We recently stayed at this VRBO with another couple for 2 weeks. The experience did not meet our expectations.The property lacked written instructions for various amenities, which would have been helpful, especially with the TV and thermostat.Closet and drawer space was very limited, making it difficult to store clothes for a longer stay. We ended up keeping our clothes in our suitcases. Finally, there were some cleanliness issues that were concerning. Specifically, the bedroom fans were covered with a layer of dust, the bathroom fan needed to be cleaned, the floor of the bathroom tub was peeling, and several areas needed to be painted.

Ok

The inside was very clean and nice except there was very little hot water so it made it hard to shower. We tried to sleep in the master bedroom but the wood was completely rotted out and cold air was blowing in all night, also we didn't feel very safe because so many of the windows were rotten. We were forced to sleep on the hard twin beds.

Our stay was amazing. Clean, comfortable, and excellent communication with the hosts. Its an old house but nicely updated and super well thought through. We only needed to get essentials and everything else was provided. Probably had 50 towels lol and all appliances were new. The tub did have trouble not being scorching hot if it ran too long, but its florida. We just worked with it! Couldn't have asked for a better beach trip!
