Other Things to Note:
We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable space for our guests. Our team follows strict cleaning protocols, and we regularly fumigate the property to keep it pest-free. However, due to Florida’s warm climate, high humidity, and the property's proximity to the water, it’s common for local insects, including the occasional roach, to make an appearance—even after our best efforts.
Most of the time, you might find them already deceased as a result of our regular pest control. While this is a rare occurrence, we believe in being transparent. If you’re particularly sensitive to insects and this could impact your stay, we suggest considering another option to ensure your comfort.

The place was perfect for a long weekend stay. It's right in downtown so its close to everything fun plus 10 mins from the airport. The host had great communication. I would stay there again.
The A/C in our unit was not working but after an hour of back and forth with the property manager, we were moved to an even better unit with no additional cost. That unit was lovely and the A/C worked great! Overall a good experience!
Quiet nice place. Basic but good. Lighting could be better. Close to stores. Pretty neighborhood. Bed comfy. No frills. Parking can be a problem. People park in your spot. Takes too long to fix the issue. Host is responsive
