It was spacious, comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. Crisp and prestine is how I describe this relaxing oasis. Sitting by the pool reminded me of being in a resort in Maui.

Pretty, modern house for adults and families. Loved the pool and had fun biking to the beaches and places to eat. Appreciated the bikes being available for use. Saw reviews on the AC being as issue, but we had no problems, Owner stated it was brand new, and we had great temps the whole time. I would recommend. The owners are nice and responsive - even made a couple good recommendations of beaches and places to explore. Can't wait to come back. ##### Alexis C.

Wow, highly recommend! Placida Palace was a dream. The house is stunning and very luxurious. The kids played in the pool all day long and we couldn’t have asked for a better location. The house is so close to Boca Grande Beach which had beautiful Caribbean white sand and there were so many amazing restaurants in walking distance. The bikes they have are great and we took them out all the time! The host was also very communicative and helpful. Check in and check out were a breeze. So sad to leave! ##### Chloe S.

The house is very big and as beautiful as you see in pictures. The view of the sunset from the pool area is fabulous. We had some questions when we first arrived but they were quickly answered and resolved by property manager and the owners. There’s couple beaches near by but Boca Grande was our favorite. There’s a grocery store and a gas station in the neighborhood for your convenience. I would definitely recommend this house for bigger families or group of friends. ##### Agnieszka C.

Jul 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Stay The house is absolutely beautiful and the area is conveniently located to all the essentials. The owners clearly communicated that the house still had minor damage from the last hurricane (missing pool screens) but this did not affect our stay or use of the pool during the day or night. The house is enormous and was more than big enough to accommodate our family of 6 adults and two teenagers. Lastly, one of the nicest touches was how well stocked the house was. Most rentals only give you enough kitchen/bathrooms supplies for one day but this house had plenty for our three night stay. Less time shopping for essentials and more time being on vacation. ##### Soratree C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dan C.

The house is beautiful and clean just as it looks in the pictures. It has everything you would want, need, and more! We came to look at some venues for my daughter's wedding and heard that this area is a hidden gem. Well that it is! The guys loved playing golf and we loved all the beautiful beaches. Having the bikes to visit great local restaurants and Boca Grande was a huge plus. We also enjoyed relaxing and cooling off in the pool after spending the day in the beautiful Florida sunshine. We will definitely be back. Everything was easy from booking to departing. 10 out of 10 Some of our favorite spots were: Lighthouse Grill (a beautiful place to sit and watch the sunset), Apulia Osteria Italian restaurant, and Smokin Joe's tiki bar. ##### Jill F. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jason M., Howard, USA Jul 18, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### FIND SOMEPLACE ELSE Let me start by listing saying “towels and linens washed in water that’s at least 140 degrees”, 140 would’ve been awesome, but we couldn’t get the water any hotter than 108 out of any faucet in the house so not sure where their water was coming from. Some creepy guy walked over when we arrived, did something in front yard, and walked away. Host said that’s the neighbor, he turns on and off the sprinklers. Sprinklers turned on and off the entire time we were their automatically, I put a camera on that spot where he was, he never came back. I tried complaining to vrbo to get a refund, no dice, absolutley no help they said it’s up to the owner. I will be filing chargeback on my credit card. Why was I notified day of arrival the screen around pool was ripped up from hurricane (FROM A YEAR AGO). Owner said been tough finding a contractor to fix, funny all the neighbors pool screens were fixed. Pool completely unusable at night because of florida bugs. There was some old inflatable toys laying around, guess left by past renters, that were all deflated. And even a half of cigar left for us from someone else… awesome cleaning procedures. One bedroom had a really uncomfortable sleeper sofa, that no one wanted to sleep in because there were no blinds on the windows. Bugs BUGS BUGS EVERYWHERE, biting ants in den and kitchen, roaches, don’t believe me, check out my TikTok tagged with vrbo and Placida because vrbo wont let me show pictures ##### Jason M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rudolph B. Apr 20, 2023 Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Don't Understand Vacation Rental Owner advised on the day of our arrival that the AC was not operable and they had been having issues scheduling a HVAC person to come between rentals (the proper action would have been not to rent the property until the unit was successfully repaired or replaced). Which led to the next issue: The AC repair was left to my fiancé for scheduling. A few hours after our arrival we noticed that the AC unit ran continuously. When the AC guy came by he advised that the unit was not repairable but needed to be replaced. He also advised the owners who told him to check with us to see if it was ok for him to replace the AC unit during our stay (only available day Friday and our departure would be Sunday). This major issue in which owners should have been accountable, now became our issue. A forceful circumstantial decision was made by us with the HVAC guy for the unit to be replaced on Friday. Meanwhile, the AC guy advised the temp could not be moved below 76 degrees Fahrenheit until the unit was replaced. This was an absurd gesture since we were in FL and it gets hot in the days. While he did try to make adjustments to the unit until it could be replaced, upon returning to the property on Wed. night we noticed immediately it was now freezing. The Thermostat read 65 degrees and continued to decrease. When finally reaching the AC guy, my fiancé was advised to climb on the ladder in the garage to turn on/off for 2 nights until the unit was replaced on Friday. They took the entire day Friday to replace the unit and we could not comfortably access parts of the home. We advised 48 hours prior to arrival to heat pool for night time enjoyment which they verbally obliged. It was not done and the owners had the audacity to provide instructions on how we could do it (they were in AZ). What do we know about pool controls? We couldn’t figure it out and it took the AC guy to turn it on Friday, 4 days into our trip. Due to multiple screens missing on pool cage which were not shown in the ad on VRBO - lots of insects consistently fell from above into the pool, we had to constantly remove them if we were ever to utilize the pool. Not to mention the bites we had all over our body when we left. Screens missing from the outside door to lanai could allow for access from wild life/intruders etc. Pool deck area filthy upon arrival, owner advised housekeeping unavailable due to her having surgery. We had to clean it. Vacation should be a time for enjoyment, this wasn't. ##### Rudolph B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaclyn N.
