    Beautiful location on the canal, quiet and relaxing. The house is stocked with everything that is needed. Just make sure to bring all of your necessities for cooking, unlike other VRBO's this one has no leftovers to use if you forget, luckily there are grocery stores super close. The a/c kept the house nice and cool on the really hot days and it is more spacious than you would think. Lots of lounging area and sleeping spaces. The only thing that could use a little work is the cleanliness of the outside area under the house, it could use a power washing and sweep, because it is an excellent out door space with a wonderfully cool breeze.

    The house was accurate in description and was very spacious. It was clean and the furniture appeared to be new. The remotes either didn't have a back to them or didn't work in the master bedroom. Not a deal breaker, but just a minor inconvenience.
