We loved this property! It was a great location near to all we wanted to see with plenty of room for 6 people. We had gorgeous weather and enjoyed the lovely pool/patio space when not sight-seeing. I think the kitchen/dining area is a bit small for big dinners at home, but fine for us as we ate out most evenings.

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I would never suggest anyone stay at this home. It is a very sketchy part of town. The second night we were there. There were shots fired, and a police drone went over top of the house. I had paid extra and sent at least three messages asking that the pool be heated and paid additionally for that only to get there and the pool temperature was freezing. There are video cameras all over the backyard which in the state of Florida is illegal you cannot without a two person consent videotape people so you were monitored the entire time you were there. There was no fire pit. They say that they have a pool and a spa, but there is no hot tub. It’s just a pool and it was freezing cold didn’t even get warm until the second day. They had a bee’s nest out by the pool house and the mosquitoes in that backyard made it unbearable to be outside after dusk. The side pool jets I asked repeatedly how to turn them on because that’s their main photo and that information came to me hours before we left so we didn’t have that element in the backyard either. And quite honestly, the host didn’t care less about all the issues that we were having in that backyard. VRBO says that if you get somewhere and it’s not as you expected that they will get you another place. Well, they didn’t even return my call and I spent hours on the phone with them. Terrible experience.
