This house was amazing! The back patio with the pool and tiki bar was huge. Plenty of seating options in the sun, shade, and in the pool. There were some pool floats, toys, and life vests also for the kids. I couldn’t think of anything that the house was missing. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. Great neighborhood also. Pizza, ice cream, bars, grocery, and plenty more all within a 5-10 minute drive. I highly recommend this house for pretty much any occasion

This was our second time visiting this property and it was great again. Our kids loved the pool. It’s a great spot with Publix just 5 minutes away and many restaurants around. Would definitely recommend this property.

A welcoming, comfortable home. The owner was very accommodating and exceptionally responsive when we had a question. The home was well appointed and lacked nothing. Relaxing in the pool area was great and having a TV out there for evening movie watching was a real plus.I would recommend this home. You won't be disappointed.
