Our family enjoyed our stay in this clean and beautiful home. Home was well stocked with kitchen supplies so cooking was easy during our stay. We appreciated large dining room areas where our family could gather together. The location was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood and provided easy access to local attractions and grocery stores. Overall, a wonderful stay!
The only issue I had is we actually rented another house from this owner and a month before the tournament they told us they were taking it out of the rental for a couple of months. The other house had a bathroom for each couple, which is what I like when I take my girls and their husbands.But the owner gave us the option of this property and it was fine. I personally don’t think they should be allowed to change the reservation so close to the date we were going.
Perfect for my family and sleeping arrangements. My family of
10 and Family of 7 stayed next door so made family visit even more special. We also got to use the fire pit which was a bonus considering all family is from S Florida and California. We do not get to use fire pits, ever! Would definitely reccomend! Met all expectations!
Great week! The house is perfect, right by the Greenway - endless bike rides to dinner, Starbucks, etc.

Great pictures of the inside
While the pictures did make the inside appear larger than the actual size, the property was very inviting and we made things work.
Unfortunately, there weren’t enough towels to accommodate the guests provided and the master suite shower didn’t work.
The basement became very damp when it rained but we purchased something small to help.
This is my second VRBO experience but this time with a larger group…family made this stay great, the property made it convenient.
