Here’s a shorter, still warm and polished version:⸻ Great Stay!We had a wonderful time at this home. It was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Cathrine was friendly and easy to communicate with, and the location was perfect for everything we needed. We would happily stay here again!
Stunning view out the back and a perfect view to enjoy from the hot tub. Theater set up is excellent and great for family movie viewing. Cathrine was tremendous with helping make our week extra special and communication was exceptional every step of the way. This was a great VRBO experience!
All I can say is Wonderful!!! The hostess was the kindest, most responsive, best you could every ask for. Everything about the house and all the amazing extra's was perfect. We loved the pool, hot tub, pickleball, kayaks, theatre, ping pong, dock on the water and the surrounding things to do and see.Would love to go back some day.
We had an amazing stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fun getaway. We especially enjoyed the pool, pickleball court, and movie theater. The kids were obsessed with the popcorn machine—it was such a fun touch! The host was fantastic—great communication and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely stay again!
This property is beautiful, relaxing, and private. The host is very kind and responsive. Everyone in our group was impressed, had a great time, and we are hoping to return soon!
We had a superb stay at this luxurious home! The pool was ideal for my kids and the hot tub was wonderful for the grown-ups. The ping pong table and indoor movie theater were major hits for all. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed for family dinners, and the place was immaculate with no hurricane damage. Highly recommend!!
This house accommodated our family reunion perfectly!
The kitchen had everything you needed and we were able to make gourmet meals every day. The pool was the highlight after being in the Florida heat.
Property was fantastic… we had 11 of us celebrating my son’s 21st birthday. Plenty of room and activities to keep everyone busy. Home theatre room was off the chart. Pool and spa were huge and private.
We loved it … highly recommended!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The house was perfect for hosting, cooking, entertaining. The pool is amazing and the views are beautiful. 5 min ride to Plantation and 10 mins to Pete’s Pier. Highly recommend.
Had a wonderful time. Even though we had two days of rain, the children were able to swim every day. House was very comfortable. Theater was enjoyed by all.
Beautiful large, multi level home. beautiful grounds and pool.
Great stay for a long weekend with all our family. Something to do for everybody - swim, play basketball, we had a family ping pong tournament and watched movies in the large theater room. Nothing but nature behind this home, beautiful! Great communication with Catherine- thanks for sharing this special place (close to scalloping and the springs!)
Our group consisted of 2 families 4 kids total. We enjoyed the warm pool and hot tub upon arrival. The theatre room and popcorn maker was fun and the host walked me through everything in the house. I will definitely look at coming back again.
Just the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away! The pool and hot tub are fantastic and we had a great time fishing off the dock and kayaking in the canals. Wonderful location! Close and convenient to everything but still incredibly private and serene, surrounded by the gorgeous marsh. The theater and popcorn machine were also a total bonus. We’ll definitely be back next time we are in the area.
The property is beautiful and and very relaxing. The outdoor amenities which include a pool, spa and basketball court are amazing. The property truly does make you feel as if you are staying at your own resort. The property manager was great to communicate with and was very informative and responsive. If you rent this property you won't be disappointed.
Catherine has thought of just about everything in this home-games, movie theater, surround sound, kayaks. The pool and patio were fantastic, and there was a ton of space for our two families to spread out. We come to CR every year, and we’ll definitely be back!
This home was beautiful online but even better when we arrived! It sat on a gorgeous piece of property with beautiful views! The house was large and comfortable and the movie room was jaw dropping! We also enjoyed the large swimming pool and had plenty of room for entertaining on the deck and patio. Then only negative was us having to leave too soon! We will be back for sure!
Cathrine’s property is stunning! It is has every amenity you could ever want or need. It is very private and secluded while still being close to many attractions and stores. We had so much fun hanging out by the pool, playing ping pong and basketball, watching movies in the movie theater, grilling and taking our boat out. It truly feels like your own private resort! Check in and check out was seamless and communication with the host was effortless. We can’t wait to stay here again!
Our experience at the house was truly unforgettable! There was something for the entire family to enjoy, making it the perfect getaway for all ages.Whether we wanted to play pickleball, take a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub, watch a movie in the theater room, challenge each other to ping pong, play board games, or go kayaking, there was always something fun to do. Even on the several rainy days during our stay, the home provided plenty of entertainment and cozy spaces to relax together.The location is also fantastic—convenient to anything you might need, from groceries to local attractions.You will not find a better host than Catherine! She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable family vacation.Sharon C.
Beautiful property and an amazing host!
This house allowed my blended family of 4 kids, to each have a friend accompany them for the weekend. We had 8 kids, ranging from 9-17 years old, and two adults under one roof and we never felt cramped. We had so much fun. The only set back was the hot tub was out of commission but Catherine sent sent someone out immediately the part had to be special ordered. o be ordered.
