Host we very communicative and made an effort to make sure everything acceptable to us. Location is very central and allowed us to explore downtown and Payne Park easily.

Everything was good, thanks

Comfortable space

Great communication and didn't have any issues with our stay

Very nice

We had house near Payne Park, Legacy Trail and downtown area. House 2 comfortable bedrooms , living room, kitchen, dining room, small laundry room and bathroom. Parking was available and free. Outside side area had table, umbrella and 4 chairs. This area was half grass covered with dirt making it difficult to sit out or lay in sun.

We're a 3 piece, touring musical entertainment group. We rented the property for 3 weeks. It was a last minute booking in the off season and the property owner and staff were great and incredibly accommodating! Communication was superb. The owner gave us all the information we needed for the entire stay, including lots of tips on places to see and go when we weren't working. It was exactly as described. It wasn't oversold and the description was honest and forthright. That said, even though this place seems basic, it really had everything we needed; large bedrooms, a great kitchen to cook in and the entire place has a welcoming, open space where everyone can gather and hang out. It's not the Taj Mahal, but it's a lovely little house to spend 3 weeks in! We were close to everything; many restaurants, parks, attractions, the beach. Most everything was walking distance, a free trolly ride or a short drive away. The only down side was the neighborhood. We were walking distance to million dollar condos and expensive restaurants, which was really nice, but the neighborhood was a wee sketch. We never felt unsafe, but the homeless population and economic disparity of the surrounding neighborhoods was on full display. Not the fault of the property in ANY way, but something that I feel should be noted. It would not hinder us from renting again, however. Overall it was a great experience. We had a great time & would rent again!

The place was a little small but it was very clean. The owners very very diligent about making sure I had everything I needed.

This place has all you need for your stay and for your beach visit. Located a few minutes walk from the BayRunner beach shuttle, you have compact beach chairs and even a cooler and beach towels. The place is well equipped, with good TV, outdoor dining with BBQ and every handy amenity including laundry (in back), a big fridge and oven, a blender and all necessities in the kitchen. Little details add to comfort, such as a convenient shelf in the shower, lots of hooks for towels, hangers and tons of drawer space to settle in. The hosts also add plenty of little, touches. Whether it’s the dish soap and sponge or the foam hand soap or the accessible multi-outlet recharging station, it all adds to the comfort and convenience. And excellent communication and ease of check-in/out. Enjoy.

House was very basic and uncluttered which showed how clean everything was. Older kitchen and bath but clean and functional. We travel with our dog so really appreciate hosts that allow pets and have strict rules on their pet policy so I know furniture & beds are clean. Location so close to downtown allowed us to walk or bike daily to restaurants, shops and many parks including beautiful waterfront areas. The Legacy bike trail is just a few blocks away. We stayed 2 months (January & February) and encountered one issue that required attention from owner. We were happy to get immediate response and action taken to resolve. Neighborhood had many run down, vacant houses mixed with nice family homes but overall, we felt safe.
