Everything was great! The house was roomy for our group of 5 adults and 5 kids. Everything you'd need is there! Of course the pool was a big hit with the kids (no boring rainy days when you have an indoor pool!) and the hot tub was a hit with the adults. There's a ping pong table and plenty of pool toys and games. A big plus is the washer and dryer. No going to a laundromat. The beds were comfortable and linens were clean. We recommend it for more reasons too numerous to mention. It was the perfect vacation place to stay!

We appreciated the large size of the property and the location. Unfortunately, first impressions are extremely important. The entry into the home was through the garage. It didn't greet us with the atmosphere of the high price per night we paid. Let's just say it wasn't vacation-like...including the fact that the floor drain was backed up and there was a bit of standing dirty water. There was a screened gazebo that looked inviting until we noticed one of the screens covered with what looked like spider webs . The inside stair rail wasn't very sturdy and the spindles are far apart enough that a child could fall through. It was a little difficult to find wood for the firepit. There were some logs that must have been from trees on the property. Someone noticed poison ivy on the property. Burning logs that have had contact with poison ivy can be dangerous to anyone breathing the smoke. The POOL- walking into the pool room it looked like the picture - YAY! It was advertised as a heated pool - but the heater wasn't working. When we contacted someone, they were responsive and understanding. However, the bottom line is- it couldn't be repaired in time for any of us to swim . Not one of the six adults and one child swam in the pool because the pool temperature was too chilly. If the we could have used the pool, we could have overlooked most of the issues and would not have asked for a refund. The refund we requested was due simply for the fact that we rented the home for the indoor heated pool and we couldn't swim at the temperature we were promised. The refund we did receive did not reflect the fact that what we did get was simply a four bedroom house.

Watery Escape
Great location to access Warren Dunes and the St. Joe's river. Throw the pool in on top and the dolphin in each comes out

A home away from home
Everyone loved this property, from the one year old to the 67 year old! The pool more than met our expectations as it was large, clean and loads of fun! The location was great as we were able to spend some time at the dunes and sometime in the pool. We would definitely consider going back and thought it would be a fun winter getaway as well.

Great Family Vacation!
This was a perfect little getaway for our family. The kids loved the pool. The kitchen was well stocked, which we greatly appreciated since we ate in most of the trip. It's not an inexpensive rental, but worth the splurge if you can do it!

Family fun
We had a great stay. The property manager, Tara, was very responsive. One non-emergent issue arose and a maintenance person arrived within an hour or two (very prompt and courteous) . Towels galore for the pool, pool toys, bubbly hot tub. The safety gate blocks the pool but not the hot tub. Lots of seating inside and in pool area. Comfy reclining chairs around the pool. We packed a portable speaker for music. We were not able to experience the outdoors amenities due to rain and snow. Plenty of areas for sleeping. The mattresses were so so and barely enough pillows if you have a larger group. Lots of showers for post-pool rinsing/showering. A great escape for a few days of indoor swimming and hot tubing during rain and snow and cold.
