Amazing house and location! The hot tub and pool were heated to the perfect temps. We had an absolute blast! If anything, the pictures do not do the house and yard justice. There are lots of indoor/outdoor places to relax and gather and the bedrooms/bathrooms are very spacious.

A wonderful modern villa in a great location

my 9 friends and I loved staying at this property over the weekend. The location couldn't be better with a very short walk to Duval street and a central location on the island. The home fit us easily with large beds and spacious rooms. The check in process was easy and the host was very kind, responsive and easy to communicate with. All around great property I would recommend to anyone.

Weekend stay

The photos online showed a hot tub, but it is not. They told us it wasn’t advertised as a hot tub but the photos made us believe it was a hot tub. Also the kitchen had several leaks, lots of water everyday in the kitchen. We called and they came and cleaned it but it continued to leak, we believe it was coming from the ice machine. No kitchen towels, no rugs by the doors and it was raining so not only did the floor get wet but muddy as well. The sink in the master bathroom barely ran and there was no hot water. We were disappointed in the quality of the home. Also suggest you leave more than 1 extra garbage bag. We had a good time but would not rent this home again
