Great escape

The family couldn’t stop commenting on how perfect and wonderful the place was. Other than golfing there was no need to go anywhere else. The pool area was perfect for fun and much needed relaxation. We would definitely stay again!

The Grotto

The house is very nice. The backyard/pool area is outstanding. The best outdoor living space that we have stayed in for Spring Break. Private area, but close enough to things that you can get to everything quickly. Highly recommend.

We had the time of our lives here for a guys weekend getaway. Jennifer’s property was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. The pictures don’t do it justice. What really stood out is when the little things popped up like having issues with the lock code, questions about the AC upstairs, etc Jennifer was incredibly responsive. She’s an A host. I have extended family that loves to travel and I’d absolutely recommend we look at this place in the future. Thank you for such an amazing weekend, Jennifer.

Amazing Home

We had an amazing stay! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The yard was our favorite part of the house. We spent almost the entire time outside playing the various of games that were provided for us at the house. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to enjoy some outside time while on vacation.

Incredible!

This place is heaven on earth. Oasis is the right word. The house is incredible and well equipped and the pool is out of this world. Do be warned that with the pool heated plus the sun, it was hovering around 94 degrees the whole time. We really enjoyed it in the evenings but it was too hot during the day. Kitchen was lovely. Communicating with the host was fast and easy! I hope to return someday!

Go to the Grotto!

The home and its many outdoor features (outdoor bar/lounges, grotto, lazy river, hot tub, basketball court, tree-lined acreage, etc.) along with plenty of indoor areas for gathering, game playing, etc., offered many options for both a fun-filled vacation getaway. The hosts were exactly what VRBO renters desire: great communication as well as a comfortable, well-appointed home.

This was a great property. The backyard is of course the main draw, as it should be for anyone getting getting away from colder temperatures trying to enjoy a little r&r. The house itself was also wonderful and was perfect spot for our golf trip. Lots of space and plenty to do. Would stay here again.
