We loved our stay here, the location of the house was exactly what we needed and the house was well furnished and stocked, as well as clean.

Spacious home with excellent location. Kids enjoyed swimming and kayaking. Caught crabs for dinner. Only complaint was we needed to get toilet paper paper towels and garbage bags

Great house, great location, great space. We had the best vacation and will cherish our memories for the years to come. This house provided everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time!
The house was great- in a great location. Check in was easy. House was clean. River access was great and could pull our boat in. The house was close to everything and room to park a trailer. There was a stocked kitchen which was great. The AC leaked the last night and we didn’t have air coming back from a wedding and had to shut it off when we came back to water on the floor. They did waive the cleaning fee…Just a FYI for future renters. The property manager won’t respond to VRBO messages you have to contact the cell or email provider. The photos don’t show the large garage on the front. The house was clean and large and great for the family. We did not know that the washer didn’t work, the house was recently flooded and there were multiple dehumidifiers in the house that beeped multiple times a day until you emptied the bucket of water. The fans had to stay on and there was spots of mold in the master bedroom.

We're glad you liked the home overall and enjoyed the location, though we're sorry some aspects fell short of expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they'd like to clarify the following:
– We wish you had reached out during your stay, as we didn’t receive any reports related to the A/C. We would’ve been glad to look into this in real time. The A/C is connected to an app confirming it functioned properly during the visit.
– Florida’s climate is naturally very humid, and the home’s waterfront location adds to that moisture level. Dehumidifiers are as common as ceiling fans in this area. We requested photos and details to better understand your concern, but none were provided. Upon inspection, no issues were found.
– Our listing doesn't advertise a washer or dryer. While a unit is present in the home, it doesn't work, so we don't offer it. We also don't advertise the garage, which is why it has been thoughtfully excluded from the listing photos.
– We include our Guest Contact's information in the pre-stay details so guests know who to reach out to for assistance.
The homeowner remains committed to providing great guest experiences, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied visitors.
