Nice older home in a great area within walking distance to LECOM park. Kitchen had everything needed to make breakfast every morning for my wife and I. We ate out every dinner so we did not really pay attention to the tools needed to do bake/grill. AC was cold. Had a tankless water device so it took a minute or two to get the water warm for a shower. Planning on going to Spring Training again next year and this will be our first choice. Thanks Tom & Richele

the a/c was more than adequate. I found the kitchen to be well appointed. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillow and blankets. Enjoyed all of the televisions and the couch was extra comfy. Used all of the porches. Location was ideal for getting to the airport and plenty of shopping and restaurants. Overall, we loved our stay!

We actually had to move to another rental house the owner had last minute due to unexpected construction delays on this house, but the owner was very good at getting us set up in a different place last minute. He was very responsive to questions and even came over to the house to help when there was a gliche with the lock. The house was beautiful. It was very clean and the neighborhood very quiet. I would rent from Tom again.

If you want a host who will treat you like family, Tom and Richelle are the couple you want to book with. While we did have some issues at the beginning of our trip, they went above and beyond to make sure that they were taken care of AND that we still had an amazing experience. Their responsiveness was noteworthy and their understanding and efficiency were impressive. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at their property again and would recommend them to anyone looking for hosts who truly care about their guests experience. This is a rare thing these days and our family is very grateful. Additionally, the neighborhood was quiet and super close to our favorite AMI beaches and GT Bray disc golf course as well as some of the best Nature Preserves in the area. You won't be disappointed with this location!

Could Have Been Better
We recently stayed at this VRBO with another couple for 2 weeks. The experience did not meet our expectations.The property lacked written instructions for various amenities, which would have been helpful, especially with the TV and thermostat.Closet and drawer space was very limited, making it difficult to store clothes for a longer stay. We ended up keeping our clothes in our suitcases. Finally, there were some cleanliness issues that were concerning. Specifically, the bedroom fans were covered with a layer of dust, the bathroom fan needed to be cleaned, the floor of the bathroom tub was peeling, and several areas needed to be painted.

Nice place and good location.
FIt for us as volunteers for the Founders Cup golf event. Ate out most of the time. Close to dining, shopping and the event.
I really enjoyed staying here before heading home. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a family of 4 (3 adults and kid). Close to food and activities. Hosts did a good job. I’d stay here again if I come to the area.
Great location and easy walk to many restaurants and the river walk. We had a few issues, but Thomas responded quickly.

The inside was very clean and nice except there was very little hot water so it made it hard to shower. We tried to sleep in the master bedroom but the wood was completely rotted out and cold air was blowing in all night, also we didn't feel very safe because so many of the windows were rotten. We were forced to sleep on the hard twin beds.
