We had a great stay at Virginia’s house! The bed was great and the kitchen was fully equipped. I especially liked having such a large grass area for throwing a ball for my dog. Very comfortable furniture and a cheerful decor! Thank you, Virginia!
House was wonderful, very comfortable beds, beautiful back yard where we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast and coffee in the mornings. Very close to great restaurants and the water. The weekend we were there, the downtown was having the art show downtown! We had a great time and will be back!
The stay and home was great. There was a little hiccup with the key box code, but was quickly corrected. I would definitely stay at this location again.
Comfortable home. Enjoyed our stay. I am sure the listing said something about it but the home does not have a dishwasher, so be prepared to handwash...haha. Everything else was great. Would rent again.ThanksNick
The house was very spacious and well equipped. Everything worked. The location was nice for us in a quiet neighborhood. And the carport is a nice bonus.
Charming home in great location. Very close to downtown and all the shops and restaurants. Home is very spacious, clean, and well appointed. Had everything we needed! Would definitely return!
We stayed at "The Osceola" house for 3 weeks. It was convenient to our purpose there (Cleveland Clinic Docs) and was the best base camp for exploring the area. We had a couple of friends and family visit who also loved the house and the area. The property and yard are beautiful, the neighborhood and private park are gorgeous and the owner is a great communicator.
VERY NICE VRBO! Hope to return someday!
Great old Florida home in established neighborhood
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale and this home brought back such great memories. Very nice and comfortable home which I would come back to again. Great communication with owners who are fantastic. This area is still one of my favorite area in my home state!
Nice roomy house with comfortable furniture…decorated nicely. 2 bathrooms. There’s a nice patio in the backyard and nice porch on the front of the house. Everything you need. A little far to downtown…took us about 20 minutes to walk there.
The house was as advertised. We had a slight problem with one of the toilets, so I sent a message to them. In five minutes, they replied that they would be over to fix it. It was fixed before an hour was up, and David was on his way. Quiet setting in a residential neighborhood. .

Ok spot - needs updating
This house is in a good location. It is very outdated on the inside. There are a lot of rules surrounding check out, e.g. the host insisted paper towels and toilet paper are replaced. They also asked for a picture of my id sent to their personal cell phone. Overall it is too expensive for the quality of the rental and the hassle of checkin and check out.
This home mostly worked out very well for us with our 3 adult children and a dog. We enjoyed walking around the lovely neighborhood - to the waterfront on two sides just a few blocks away. The open spaces of the living room, office and kitchen are generous and comfortable. We were dismayed to learn foldout mattress must be blown up. We didn’t see any directions for this which is odd considering all of the other helpful messages provided by the homeowner.
Very welcoming host. The house was perfect for our needs and in a great location. The neighborhood was so cute, close to downtown and in a central location making it easy to get around.
Beautiful home! All the amenities! Home away from home! Virginia was easy to communicate with and very responsive! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and hope to visit again next year!! Quiet street, quiet neighborhood, lovely backyard. Perfect office area to stay connected with work when needed. Comfortable beds and sitting areas. Love this home!!
