The pool area has a screen enclosure to prevent any uninvited flying interlopers. The good size HEATED pool will keep the children entertained for hours. Just sit and watch the Golfers make there way down the 7th fairway. Close enough to see and be entertained but certainly not too close to be an inconvenience or intrusion.

Property host extremely accommodating; even met us at the property to go over house rules and highlights. Host responded quickly to questions and concerns during our stay. Sleeping accommodations very comfortable. The only negative observations were that there are a few things in need of repair and the home could use updating.
Very relaxing. Nice quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again!!
Rented on short notice at Xmas - family emergency. 4 adults hoping for 3 beds (no futons) 2 baths. Messaged owner, didn’t respond right away but book request got accepted. Right off the bat, red flags. He messaged in app about his sister, who does checkin. Listing/instructions conflicting info re:protocol. No garage code as listed. Conflicting & confusing info. Text from sister (not in app) huge no-no, if you have issues with rental, VRBO has no proof Multiple texts about checkin but info vague/confusing. Should’ve set exact time to arrive. Said she’d leave key but will text when ready. I texted her 3 times - no response. We show up at 4:30pm. No VRBO app message during this time No key outside. Finally opens door in PANIC. She lost her phone. Losing your phone sucks but solution - call bro on landline, have him message in app. Not finished cleaning. Still wanted to show each room 4 instructions. Laundry c/o protocol, fine but nothing written. I know people have bad days, but she melted down so much we had to insist we were ok Suggest- Smart locks Update listing Lock items 4 NEXT renter in closet - current renters can’t access Write instructions house/app, NO verbal instructions @ c/i Issues: STRONG/BAD odor (din/liv) Smoky motel & cleaning chemicals. Carpet/fabric the culprit. Drag racers outside late PM. Ear plugs help. VERY dirty cabinets PROS- HUGE primary BR BR fans SOFT sheets Pillows HUGE ensuite Pool LARGE patio table Well equipped kitchen Beach gear Big couch
Property was clean and in a great location.
The home was in a great location and the listing was very accurate. The owners communicated very well, and even had some drinks waiting for us due to our flight delays. We were in the area to visit family and I will definitely book this property for future trips!
Wonderful stay, great hosts and exactly as described. Thank you and we will be back again :)
Nice property that met all our requirements. Used as home base for short stay in order to visit nearby extended family. Publix store nearby was handy for necessities. Owner and manager very responsive to queries. Nice setting on golf course and with pool, but due to busy schedule, really didn't have chance to use any amenities. Enjoyed stay in August for family visits, so returned again in December.
My family and I liked the house but did not have the best experience at this location.
It was the 2nd time we have stayed at the villa and like before, everything was just perfect. A fantastic villa to stay in and Lori was so kind, generous and caring for the childrens' birthdays and our anniversary with gifts, cards and cakes. Thank you and we will definitely stay again on our next visit.
Property had the necessary three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and was conveniently located for visits with nearby extended families. Publix close by. Adjacent to golf course and has a nice pool. Had no time to enjoy the amenities much due to brevity of the stay and busy schedule, but we enjoyed our time there.
Lori and James were great host! They both communicated with us prior to our stay and were welcomed by Lori on the day of our arrival. The house had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. We wish we could've stayed longer and hope to be back.
This is a lovely, comfortable, and perfect for our family and friends. We were at Nathan Benderson park for a competition and this made for a nice respite. We even had team members and families over for a grilled chicken supper. Comfortable beds, lots of kitchen gadgets, near-by grocery store, and a great hostess— we had a great exp.
James was incredibly helpful as we needed to change our booking date at short notice due to covid. Met on arrival by Lori who gave us a quick tour as late at night and then arranged to return the following day. Which she did with great ideas of places to eat, nearby beaches and shopping. Fizz chilling on arrival was a lovely touch. Lori was a lovely host who checked in regularly. Amenities in house superb. Everything you need for the beach. Lots of linens of good quality. Pool area furniture very comfortable. Wonderful view of golf course - very quiet - with fabulous wildlife. We have stayed in many holiday properties in the area but this has certainly been the best located and equipped.
We could not have been happier with our stay. Lori and James were wonderful. House was clean, organized and had everything you could possibly need. There was special surprise waiting for us upon check-in. This trip was a 4 generation Mothers Day getaway and Lori surprised us with a gift the night before our departure. She created a memory that will never be duplicated and with my 91 year old Great-Grandmother. Tomorrow is never promised and every memory created is cherished. There are not many people like James and Lori in this world but we were certainly blessed to cross their paths!! Do yourself a favor and book this home!!
