Six of us stayed at this very nice property as we were attending a nearby wedding. The views across St Joseph Sound were beautiful! Plenty of room to hang out in the large living room or on the back porch overlooking the Sound. The kitchen was nicely equipped, including both a Keurig and a drip coffeemaker. Lots of games, fishing gear, and even a cast net to catch bait! The pool was heated and clean. Our host, Larry, lives on site, but we really never noticed him. There were two occasions when we needed assistance and he responded immediately. Very friendly guy! Publix grocery is one mile away, and Walmart is 8 minutes by car. Plenty of parking in the large driveway. The elevator was a great help to our 89-yr-old mother, and also very handy to get luggage, etc up to the main living area. We highly recommend this property!

Everything was very clean. Check in/out was super easy. Lots of space to hang out inside and outside… but when you’re there you will want to be outside the whole time! We had breakfast every morning on the upper balcony over looking the water & hung out in and around the pool which also over looks the water. The water view is gorgeous! We even saw 2 dolphins! Definitely recommend this place!

This property was amazing . The view was breathtaking. Went on a family vacation and my boys had a blast fishing and swimming just being boys. The host was so helpful with communication and the check in process was so easy and host was flexible with us.

We rented this home to gather our family to celebrate our Mom's 80th birthday and it was perfect for guests of all ages. The teens found spots to play board games and lounge together while the adults enjoyed kayaking and relax with the beautiful views. The pool was perfect for all. The kitchen was well-appointed even for a party. And there were plenty of pillows and blankets, comfortable beds and extra areas to lounge both inside and outside. Larry was the host with the most, with easy communication and check-in/out. We all hated for our time to end and look forward to booking this home again.

The place was awesome overall! My family had a great time swimming, fishing, and even getting to see dolphins swim right up to the seawall a couple times. The sunsets were also amazing each night. Some things around the house show their age and heavy usage, but the location more than made up for that for us.

Property was not fit for purpose. 1 of the 4 bedrooms were unusable mould and damp on the walls. Mould dog and cat pee smells all over the house. Bedding didnt look laundered.one of the patio doors was brken and taped shut , decking are and hand rails were a massive safety issue. Screws sticking up from decking area, hand rails loose and unsafe. No patio furniture charis/ table down under decking area as in photos on VRBO, Patio table broken and supported with cable grips. Washing mashine was broken and shower was leaking. Host agreed bedroom was unusable and offered us 25% refund, this was not acceptable as our party required 4 bedrooms and I was not prepared to sleep in the lounge.I requested a full refund which I am still seeking and will take up on my return to UK
