Great time. Perfect for our family.

First, let me admit my mistake- I forgot to list my dog as attending, which was a surprise to the owner. We worked it out and I paid the pet fee. However…the house needs a lot of TLC. While there are more than enough pillows and towels, all are paper thin. The “fully stocked” kitchen is stocked with pots and pans that are quite old and some without handles. There are no large bowls for serving or mixing. I had to use soup pots to serve salads and popcorn in. Knobs are missing from drawers and cabinets, there are holes in the lanai, allowing bugs in and the lighting in the house is pretty dismal. Lots of lamps but bulbs are pretty weak. We very much enjoyed the decor, the size of the house, the pool and the stove/oven. Communication with the owner was curt at best. I didn’t hear from her one time until I reached out the day before we got there to understand how I was going to get into the house. I heard from her again the night before we left to ask how everything was and then the day we left to tell me I didn’t pay a pet fee. Again, the pet thing was my mistake and I happily paid the fee, but she was rude and accusatory.

Everything was neat and clean. The house was beautiful and private. The pool was warm (definitely recommend paying the extra for heating it in the spring and fall. My friends and I had a lovely time. We would highly recommend.

We (a group of 4 friends) used this as a base for a golf trip to Cabot Citrus Farms. It’s about 20 minutes from the course and had nice amenities (screened in pool, grill). It was also within a short drive of several bars/restaurants. I would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay

The host was easy to communicate with but nothing got done with the issues! 1. There was a pool but hearing the pool was extra. I was willing to pay to heat it for the days we would be there, but alas the heater was broken so access to the beautiful pool just taunted my grandchildren! 2. There was a grill on the pool deck, but no filled propane tanks. We wanted to grill so we had to go make the exchange for a propane tank. 3. There was a fire pit as pictured but as we started towards the forgot, we smelled propane gas and I looked around to find out the house used propane gas and I was afraid there was a leak so I reported this to the owner and we did not light the fire pit. 4. The electrical breaker went out in the upstairs bathroom and the electrical panel was in the basement which we did not have access to so I notified the owner. She responded immediately telling me she was coming, but then responded her husband would be there in the morning but he never came. 5. Finally, my daughter slept in the “mermaid” room and had bites all over her legs and arms. When she brought it to our attention we looked but weren’t too concerned until there were more after the second night. I can’t be sure they were bedbugs, but we took the necessary precautions about suitcases and clothes when we got home

From the beginning to the end, everything was outstanding. Pamela, the host, is quick to respond (i.e. good pizza for take-out). Thank you for your great hospitality. We would definitely stay again.

Our annual family scalloping trip was a huge success and everyone had a fantastic time thanks to Pamela. We had a wonderful stay in her home and i would highly recommend it to others for their stay as well.
