The property is old rundown and dirty. It smelled of mildew. The sauna was full of pool equipment. The pictures were very misleading. The only reason we slept there one night was because we arrived so late. The owner did not seem surprised by my disappointment and did refund us. The first 24 hrs of my vacation was ruined.

Arrived to find a service man repairing the refrigerator, 1 hour later the refrigerator still wasn’t cooling, contacted the host who told us we could get ice at Walmart. Service man returned and told us the compressor wasn’t working and he would try to return tomorrow.
Contacted the host who offered to plug in the refrigerator in the garage for us. We told him that was unacceptable and we would make other arrangements. The host was too cute in his attempt to BS us, and he finally told us to contact VRBO and start the paperwork and he would confirm.

Castle never disappoints!
Continue to love our time at the Castle and always look forward to coming back again as soon as we can.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The beauty and uniqueness cannot be matched, and truly does remind one of being in a castle. The amenities were top notch and I would recommend a stay. Gary was very responsive to questions and an issue with the air conditioning and had a repair tech out the next morning. We were traveling for a family wedding and enjoyed the respite this property offered.

Love the Castle, the neighborhood, and all the friendly people in Paradise Lakes. This has become a regular vacation spot for us and will continue to come back. The pool and hot tub overlooking the lake is worth every penny.

We had a wonderful experience in this castle for our 20th wedding anniversary. Every single section of this home is well thought out with beautiful authentic decor fit for royalty. We had so much fun taking pictures in all the rooms pretending we were rich and famous. :)

Amazing property!
Everything about our visit was amazing and we will definitely come back. The property was better than advertised and the owner Gary was great and communicated with us before arriving and also if we had any questions. Indoor pool and hot tub were what originally drew us to the property but the entire house was amazing inside.

This place is beautiful. We stayed here while moving my son to school at Saint Leo and had the BEST time. The house is something out of a movie. Pictures don't do it justice. Yes, you have an indoor pool with a private hot tub all to yourself. The view out the back sliding glass doors is of a peaceful lake where different tropical birds come to feast every day. If you think the pictures are not real--they are. The master bedroom with a beautiful tub, standing showers and gorgeous pool view is exceptional. Our favorite place in the house was the kitchen/eating area that has sliding glass doors to the pool and then as said above, sliding glass to the lake. The host was great about communicating. We had a very memorable stay here and would love to stay again. Please keep in mind that "Paradise Lakes" is a clothing optional community. I am not a nudist nor are my two sons ages 18-21. The first encounter with a resident was a bit awkward, but we (or I) got over it especially when seeing the beauty of our abode. No one came around much but the few who we talked with were extremely friendly. Their choice to go clothing optional did not bother us. Some of the homes here (like Leithen Lodge) are exceptional, some free standing homes, some regular two story townhouse units, others are budget friendly. The entire community is clean, friendly and beautifully landscaped and maintained. So if you can see the incredible value and beauty here, you will also see that these positive attributes outweigh a once in a while appearance from afar of a nude body. If you are easily offended or have kids maybe give it some thought but I am telling you....it is totally worth it especially at this price. Thank you Greg for an awesome time and the perfect send off trip for my son.

Castle Adventure
The castle was a fun get away. Great to entertain at with a nice kitchen. Gary was great to work with. I was concerned at first that we would keep him awake with living on the 3rd floor and no solid doors to contain the noise but if he noticed he did not complain. Thanks for a fun week at the castle.

Perfect
The house is so much more then you could imagine. Gary is awesome and responsive. It is in a gated community and yes, clothing is optional within the gates. Dont let that distract from the magnificent house. Indoor pool, jacuzzi, impeccable furnishings. You will not be disappointed.
