    The home was beautiful with a perfect view. We even saw dolphins from the balcony! Darlene was a great host. She checked on us several times. I will definitely stay here next time.

    Darlene is fantastic! Communicated so well throughout the stay. Check in was a breeze! The house is cute as can be. It is very clean and the kitchen is so well stocked. Sharpest knives I’ve ever used at a rental! The master bedroom is large and new as is the bathroom. The view of the ocean every morning was such a treat. There is ample space for everyone. The second bedroom is medium size w a large closet. The full bath off of the bedroom is clean and large. It is close enough to restaurants to walk. We went to Sandos which is literally around the corner and they have great sandwiches during the day. The tiki bar is fun and you can just walk home. Really wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

    This experience was an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. A big water bubble formed underneath the washing machine upstairs the night before Thanksgiving. The homeowner was absolutely terrible AND RUDE (I have all the texts and evidence) to me about it. The condition of the place was terrible. Things were broken everywhere. There was rust all over the place. Really not as described.It took me until Dec. 10 to work out the reimbursement. I had to spend 2000 to go get additional hotel rooms down the street. They tried to say that it was “humidity” that leaked a huge water bubble that exploded in the ceiling and all over the floor. She denied it all along until she was forced to give a refund, and VRBO made promises and went back on them and made promises and then finally followed through in the end after threatening to sue and sending them videos. Do not stay here. Go to Embassy suites down the road. They have a great breakfast and they’re polite and you get what you pay for and what you expect. The homeowner has no business in the hospitality industry.

    I’ve stayed at several VBRO places, and without a doubt Darlene is the best host ever. Any questions or concerns I had, she was quick to reply or call. Place was very clean, has gorgeous views, excellent location.

    It was wonderful. I love that it has everything you need. I didn’t know that so I picked everything and only used maybe half. So definitely will book again. Hopefully we can make this a tradition with the family. Darlene was wonderful with all my questions. If you need a place to stay and have a great view. This is it!

    The condo was so convenient to the beach and restaurants which makes it a must stay next year.Darlene reach out to make sure we had everything we needed twice and when we ask to stay an extra day she was glad to accommodate us. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Thank you Darlene for sharing your home with us .

    Came to celebrate my husbands retirement and my daughters graduation from Vet Med School from the University of Florida. Location of this Condo was perfect ..... wonderful views and close to restaurants. Darlene had everything decorated so cute and had everything you need to stay in for a home cooked meal or take food out to the beach for a picnic. Simply put it was perfect!

    My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this property. Our host was so nice and very responsive. I totally messed up our date of arrival but our host immediately recommended an alternative place to spend our first night. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the upper deck which has a gorgeous view of the ocan. We highly recommend this property.

    Property has a great view of the ocean, especially from the balcony. Location is in a great area with everything you could possibly need or want to do near by. Beach is private access and a two minute walk away. Very family friendly. The owner, Darlene, is awesome and very easy to contact. She truly cares about her tenants. The property is well stocked with essentials and more. It was also very clean when we arrived. We will definitely be staying here in the near future and telling our friends and family about this place.

    We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Location was fabulous! Beach access was so close and chairs and umbrella were provided which were appreciated. Front porch swing and 2nd floor balcony were wonderful. Two restaurants are within easy walking distance. Darlene was a great host and responded quickly.
