Perfect
The house was very roomy, extremely clean, and everything you could think of for a home away from home. We use VRBO often and some places are scantly supplied. This house had an abundance of everything! Beautiful neighborhood, quiet, and we loved the wildlife of FL. Id give it 10 out of 10! Also we were there for a motorcycle rally, and plenty of parking for bikes, trailer, and our truck. Thanks! Will definitely stay here again!

The pictures don't do the place justice
The house is nice, but go outside. The backyard is very spacious and it is just beautiful. We had a great time watching the wildlife, from the birds in the trees to the turtles in the water. There are alligators but they never came close to us and seemed to turn around when they seen us. Highly recommend and may return.

The house was clean and comfortable and thank goodness for comfortable beds,most beds in other homes are not comfortable, thankyou Ms.Liz ,communication with Ms.Liz was timely and prompt. January was a bit chilly due to unforeseen storms so we didn't have a chance to boating or swimming in pool. Maybe next visit.
