We loved the location and the solitude. The house and grounds are extremely well taken care of. If you love animals like we do, then you will definitely love Ruby, Precious and Abigale the resident cat, dog and deer!
This was an excellent value and perfect location for a quiet holiday in palm springs. Plenty of space in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything. We were able to cook and enjoy the pool and outdoor spaces. I would absolutely book again. Communication was great and glad to have had the option for our Xmas get away.
This house was perfect for our trip. Had plenty of space, was clean and ready for us to have a great time. Loved the outdoor space and its close proximity to everything. Host was very responsive and informative!
Wonderful choice for large groups with lots of activities from hot tub, swimming pool, pool table and ping-pong. Couple of bedrooms had a hard time staying warm as we were here in January. Lots of minor floor height changes not great for elderly. Overall it worked great for us.

Property was clean and everything functioned as it should. Property is aging, and it shows. Pool table had balls missing, carpet in the main room was quite stained. Shower in the master bathroom doesn’t work properly. Lots of noise from the airport near by. It’s got lots of space, and close proximity to very nice courses.
The house was nice overall! The kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms good sized, pool and hot tub were nice!We had issues right from the start! The listing was inaccurate as it was listed as a 5 BR, 4 bath house but first inspection showed one bathroom had a sign that said it was broken! After talking to property manager, we discovered it was broken since August and not repaired! Hmm! Then a second bathroom had a broken shower door and glass fell from the door and there was still glass on the bedroom floor! That had happened just a couple days before our arrival! I believe, we should have been informed of the issues! At onePoint we were just about down to two bathrooms!Next issue, the hot tub jets did not work and the temperature of the H2O never got hot, just lukewarm! Pool temp was nice, however! There The propane tank for the fire pit was also empty! Because of our issues we were given a bit of leeway on our extra’s, pool heating and small dog stay!This house has been a “medical facility and has unusual floor transitions (wheel chair ramps) and different heights! Our crawler handled them fine though!We had a nice stay and would have served our needs better if bathrooms had worked like listed as well as the extra amenities! Our Grand kids totally enjoyed the pool, a great positive!
We had an awesome time in Cedar Key! Diana was so nice and the property was beautiful! Days on the water and quiet nights under the moon were exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely stay again!
Absolutely serenity and peaceful surroundings. Very comfortable accommodations. We enjoyed the resident fur babies and beautiful scenery. We will be back.
