Amazing house and perfect location

We brought our general managers here for a company meeting and to get away and regroup. The house was perfect and it is close to everything. Even my 5 year old had a Fantastic time. The house is completely stoked with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be back!

Great house to integrate with friends

The open space in the living area is amazing. The cooking amenities are also great. But most of all we loved eating dinners outside next to the water. All rooms are comfortable and bathrooms are good. There is plenty of things that make the house fun, like two pianos, garden-room, poker table, pool table. The area surrounding the house is very nice and quiet. We all feel like we should come back again.

Beautiful home

This was a perfect place for a large group. The outdoor space was beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked for entertaining unlike most VRBOs where you only get one pan and a few plates. Management was very attentive.

The Get Away

Everything was fine. The only thing that I suggest is to lock your car doors while staying on property. Had some valuables, and car registration stolen from glove box.

An amazing venue for a wedding!

Do not hesitate to have your wedding at this property. Rain or shine, the property delivers a unique experience for everyone. We planned on being outside on the dock for our Havana Nights themed wedding but rain turned us to use the greenhouse. And we are so thankful we did. All 81 of our guests had an awesome view from down below and up above and the greenery is so unique and makes for a gorgeous backdrop on our special day. We had a live bad in the living room and after dinner, struck 4 tables and had plenty of room for a dance floor. Both bars were outside under the balcony behind the pool. Ironically it stopped raining right after the ceremony so we were able to use the whole outside for cocktail tables and a space for our Havana Nights guests to relax under the stars. What an amazing night! Thank you Christina for being so easy to work with and so helpful along the way. A magical wedding starts with the perfect venue and a great team. This was ours! Oh and our guests were blown away with the property. Amazing. 100% recommend.

Great House For Big Groups

We brought down a group of guys for a customer appreciation trip and this house was perfect. 10 guys and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Pool/patio setup is incredible. Christina the property manager was amazing. Reached out to her last minute about a big Instacart order being delivered before we arrived which I forgot to mention and she had someone there immediately to open the house and put everything away. Any questions she responded right away. We will definitely be renting here again.

Gorgeous views, lots of amenities, but not well kept/shady practice..

Property is situated next to the canal which was the highlight of the stay. We had fun swimming in the pool and sitting in the jacuzzi while watching the sun set over the water. Well apportioned outdoor space and beautiful pool & spa. As for the rest of the property I'd say this was one of the least maintained "high end" rentals I have stayed at unfortunately. The property was not very well maintained and the design of the house is not great. The ceiling had a major leak (about 10 gallons leaked into buckets we had to put out), one bathroom toilet didn't work at all, water pressure at toilets were abysmal, and the hotwas not programmed for use for our entire stay. We had to have maintenance over twice in a 4 day stay and all of the issues weren't addressed. The bannisters were extremely dangerous and loose. The noise coming from the bottom floor is basically an echo chamber - so any guest that goes to bed before others will not be able to sleep until everyone goes to bed and the house is completely silent. It's just not a great design for a house. Communication was not good. The property was listed for sale on Zillow when we booked it (and were never told) - when asked about this they said "your reservation is still happening." What happens if the house sells? Our plans would have been canceled abruptly. Shady practice. The communication was not great before check in either, I had to remind them about our check in date to receive the welcome email. It seems this company really does not have plans to continue improving this property as it is for sale so I'd have to say I'd not recommend this rental.
