This was our second stay and once again it was extremely hard to leave. Mark and Alison have successfully made every effort to make this feel more like a home than a rental. We have been renting vacation homes for over 30 years and this estate is head and shoulders above any others that we have stayed in. The pictures and description don't do it justice. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

This was the second year for us to vacation at this property, and the facilities and grounds were in first-class condition. Everything is as described in the listing. The large pool was the centerpiece for us, and we also made good use of the tennis and pickle ball courts. The home heating and cooling is preset and changing the settings requires contacting the owner. Only when the temperature was mild was this an inconvenience because there was no meaningful circulation and humidity control inside. When temps reached the 80s, the system was fine. Otherwise, this was resort living at its best and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for first-class vacation accommodations.

We have stayed at many rentals over the past 30 years. This one by far is head and shoulders above the rest and in a class of it's own. The check-in/orientation by Kasey was excellent. The kitchen was the most well stocked and equipped we have yet seen. The incredible pool and outdoor areas are huge with space enough for everyone. One of our favorite features was the theater/game room which is stocked with tons of DVDs and the most comfortable seating you could ask for. My wife played the grand piano almost every day. We wanted to utilize the tennis courts but time just didn't allow this trip. Bicycles, games, puzzles, books, air hockey, ping-pong, fishing gear, etc. Eagles and flamingos were seen daily and we even got a glimpse of the resident gopher tortoise that lives on the property. Kasey and Mark were absolutely great to work. We are already looking forward to our next visit as we have booked it for next year. Thanks again to Mark and Allison for sharing your beautiful home!

Comfortable, enjoyable property. Great owners and manager. Hope to visit again.
10.0 / 10.0
The property exceeded our expectations in all areas. It is better than the photos would suggest. First, the management provided detailed operating instructions, highlighted by an introductory tour by one of their representatives. Together with the written instructions, we were able to take full advantage of the many amenities: TVs, theatre, hot tub, tennis courts, etc. The house is beautifully appointed and is as big and unique as described. The pool is the largest I've seen at a private residence, and the entire property is spectacularly maintained. Additionally, this house is fully furnished, unlike most rental properties. It has everything one needs to enjoy weeks of vacation pleasure. We were even treated to a professional golf event at the resort next door during our stay: the Valspar Championship. I highly recommend this vacation spot for larger groups who are willing to treat it as their home away from home,

We spent the month of February here and everything about this place is top notch. This is one of the most stocked homes we have ever stayed in. Neighborhood is very quiet, our interactions with the house manager Kasey couldn’t have gone any smoother. We highly recommend renting this home and are already planning another stay!

This property exceeded our expectations, the pictures don't do it justice. It is phenomenal, beautiful, spacious...... absolutely spectacular, a home away from home and offers so very much. The property manager Kasey was friendly, kind and wonderful to work with and only a phone call/text away.
This property is a place we want to visit again and again and highly recommend staying here. Thank You!
10.0 / 10.0
This is an exceptional property that's a vacation in itself. It has all the amenities one could want (and many more) within a secluded, yet convenient, location. There are several fabulous gulf beaches within a 10 minute drive that rival any global tropical destination. On top of this impeccable villa, Florida is open for business and ready to offer so much. We will definitely be back!

We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed all the amenities the house offered. Location was quiet as we never heard any neighbors, the owners shared everything you can think of. Property manager was great. We plan to be back.
10.0 / 10.0
The house is well maintained, very spacious, relaxing and full of amenities. We cooked and had a variety of delivery options because of the location. Many Beaches and parks 15-30min away. We will be back if schedules align in the future !
4.0 / 10.0
Our fourth stay at this property. A few minor issues but they were generally resolved expeditiously. Enjoyable trip however cut short due to Covid 19 restrictions.
5.0 / 10.0
First and foremost...the property is terrific and just as advertised!
From the day we arrived until the day we had to leave...we enjoyed every bit of our stay...and DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE.
Our future plans are to return to the Bee & Leprechaun for another extended stay!
