Plenty of space, great floor plan Location was near river not on river
Plenty of space, but beds were not very comfortable. The property looked secluded and right on the river and it was really in a suburban subdivision that didn’t really align with the price point for this property.
House location & view from the backyard was awesome . You can walk down & go by the river . House was clean & enjoyed stay very much .
This was a great place for a family gathering.
This home is incredibly lovely. Close to all areas st Joe etc.
Very spacey. Clean. Beautiful! Would definitely stay again.
We stayed here as a break between stressful events/ a change of environment/ a few days to recharge and relax. As it was March, the house interior was the main focus and where we spent the majority of our time since it was too cold to enjoy much of anything outdoors- though the view out back was beautiful and there would be many things to enjoy on the property outdoors in nicer weather. The house was spacious and decorated warmly. We were able to spread out and not be in each other's faces unless we wanted to be. The kitchen was obviously stocked by owners who live there at times/use it themselves- the amount and variety of cookware, bakeware, utensils, appliances, linens, and minutiae that make up a fully functional kitchen for someone who cooks most/all meals at home was exceptional. All we needed was a quick trip to the local grocery store for perishables and we were set for our stay. For us, the one most important amenity that set this property apart from others available at the time (winter/cold weather) was the real fireplace. There is almost nothing more relaxing than a beautiful, crackling, wonderful-smelling wood fire. We had a local individual deliver enough wood for our time there, and using it every afternoon until we retired for the night was the highlight of our stay. It nourished our souls. I was able to work remotely with no issues; the internet service was fast and reliable on all devices. The owner was quick to respond to all of our questions before and during our stay. The only thing we would change is just a personal preference: there were no blinds for privacy on the windows that look out onto the neighborhood, and we are very private people who are uncomfortable with everyone walking/driving by being able to see inside when it's dark outdoors/lights are on indoors- most especially the large windows in the living room (which had a single sun-filtering shade on the center window only). We would definitely stay here again in the future, and would love to return when it's warmer so we can enjoy the outdoor amenities. This property goes on our favorites list of places we've rented.
Great house with plenty of room for all of us.
There were multiple issues with the property during our stay: -wifi connectivity issues -showers leaking and ceilings falling down -grill was unable to be used (rotted with gas leaking) -no central air conditioning, house was 80 degrees during our stay -could not open windows (no screens available) -smokey smell radiated throughout the house -no batteries in most smoke detectors Property manager did reply and come to the residence, but was unable to fix or solve the many concerns and issues during our stay. Overall, we were very dissatisfied with our stay. We traveled from Massachusetts, Virginia, and Illinois to attend a family wedding. We had elderly grandparents and two pregnant women staying and were left very uncomfortable all weekend. We have left a message with the property management company as well as VRBO with pictures to support these concerns.
This property was clean and inviting with beautiful decor. It was exactly what we needed for a family getaway. The host was wonderful and checked in throughout the weekend to ensure everything was going okay
14 of us stayed very comfortably in this house! Nice location in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to anything you may need. Would definitely stay again!
