Loved the house and location. Easy check in and check out. Tons of room and great kitchen. Pool area is very nice and clean. Overall, would definitely stay there again.
This house is a hidden gem. Minutes from the beach. The neighborhood feels safe and is quiet. The host has done a lot to maximize the space. If they invested in a pool heater that would make this a 10/10.

Golf course view
Enjoyed walking the golf course in the morning before it opened
Nice home with a decent sized pool. Plenty of TVs and space for everyone. Very affordable rate too. Could have been a little cleaner, but other than that it was an excellent stay. Property manager was very communicative and friendly

Good location
Overall, it was a good place to stay. The location was convenient and quiet. Most of the interior of the house has been updated. Nice to have TV's in several rooms. The converted garage into a bedroom was large and good for the kids, though the window coverings didn't cover the windows so it was fairly bright whenever there was sunlight (even early in the morning). The exterior, pool, screened enclosure, and deck need significant updating. Because of the cold (for Florida) weather, we didn't use the screen enclosure much but might have used it more if it was nicer. The grill on the back lanai was great. Overall, it was good for what we needed but could use some considerable remodeling in certain areas (like what several neighboring homes were doing while we stayed there).
This property was perfect for our family of nine which included six adults and three children ages 7 - 10. It is difficult to find a short-rental ideally suited to sleep families with children.
The three-bed bedroom provided the three granddaughters their own beds. The girls completely enjoyed their bedroom with their own TV (which, as always, was closely monitored by adults). The other three bedrooms with king, queen, and two twin beds also provided just-right sleeping arrangements. Beds were comfortable.
Gathering places were also comfortable. The remodeled open floor plan was well done. The kitchen was nice with relatively new appliances although fresh items in the refrigerator draws froze solid.
The Grands really enjoyed the pool. Access to the pool was convenient; wet swimmers did not have to walk through the house for restrooms, etc. We had expected to spend 99.9% of our time in the pool/screened-in area. However, the table and chairs were too rickety for comfort, so all meals were taken inside. Also, the grill was out of gas. The owner suggested I remove the tank and exchange it, and she would reimburse me, but I felt that was not my responsibility. We went to plan-B. Perhaps a reimbursement is in order since the grill was not provided as advertised.
The house has good curb appeal. However, upon arrival we found a motor home parked in the driveway. This was disconcerting as we didn’t know if previous renters were still there, if the cleaning crew was still inside
We were there from 02/15 through 03/11 while transitioning from a property we sold. The house is on a golf course which made for some interesting views. The pool is quite large and unheated. The weather was uncommonly cool so we did not use it. There are many pool toys for those visiting in warmer weather. The house was well supplied with things needed for a vacation.
We had a great stay despite the previous guests leaving the property a mess and breaking things. The owners were very apologetic and did there best mitigate the situation. The home is beautiful and the star is the pool. Everything is a bit dated but still functional. I do wish the grill was in working order as we had planned to grill but that is minor.

Roomy house for large families traveling together
House was well equipped for adults and children. Loved the two living spaces and the screened porch. Great house for large families.
After a false start to our stay which was not a big deal and was taken care of immediately we were happy with the accommodations. We would stay here again.
If I could it would rate the stay at 4.5 stars
