Florida Vacation Homes

“My original booking was cancelled by the host just two days before check-in. When I went to rebook a different spot, I saw this exact same house relisted under a different property manager, so I booked it again for my check-in day. Come check-in time, I received zero instructions or access codes. I called the new property manager, who claimed they didn't manage the house. I called the old property manager, who also said they didn't manage it. Two hours after check-in, someone finally texted me the entry code. No other communication or apology was ever sent. The house itself is fine—good location, nice layout, but very bare-minimum amenities and the kitchen wasn't entirely clean. However, the booking and check-in process was a logistical nightmare. Proceed with caution.”

“I would not recommend this place. The air conditioning did not work during our stay, and the temperatures inside the condo ranged from 81 to 93 degrees. The heat was unbearable, especially with family members, including babies, staying with us while we celebrated my son's graduation. Despite reporting the issue immediately, there was little to no assistance provided. We were told to make do with fans, but the condo remained extremely hot throughout our stay. The conditions became so uncomfortable that we were unable to fully enjoy our trip and even had to change our plans because of the excessive heat. What has been most disappointing is the lack of communication and follow-up. I have been trying to get answers regarding this horrible experience and a promised refund, but no one has responded or provided any updates. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience, and I am extremely disappointed with how the situation has been handled.”

“The house was ok. This would have been a decent stay, in regards to house, cleanliness, pool and location. However the management (host) was pretty off. When we arrived we had barely checked in and settled in when a maintenance guy arrived to finish his route. He chnaged several light bulbs and performed other maintenance tasked inside the house and outside. He was a very sweet person but it did interfere with our stay somewhat. We would have let it go and never mentioned it, had we not run into other issues with this host. We asked for a two night extension that was granted and a price was quoted. This price was raised by ~ $100 without explanation or apology. We kindly asked them to honor the previous quote and got no reply. This truly tainted our stay and I would have rated 3.5 stars if I could. I would not stay here again due to the unresponsive host.”

“We reported dirty bedding with photos within minutes of arrival, but the host ignored our concerns. I ultimately had to go to Walmart and buy new bedding so my family could sleep without someone’s hairs and filth on the sheets. We also discovered a clogged toilet that continuously filled with water, likely caused before check-in, and received no assistance from the host. We plunged it and cleaned it. In addition, the AC is locked at 72°F, making the upstairs bedrooms quite warm at night, and the fans were dusty. Had the host taken responsibility and addressed these issues, I would not be leaving this review. The property needs a better cleaning crew and more responsive management.”

“The pool lights did not work and we had a bunch of children with us. They came out to fix it, and it still didn’t work. So the kids couldn’t get in the pool at night because it was too dark. We had hair on our bed and stains on our sheets.”

“We were well satisfied with the property. I wasn’t a fan of the check-in process, why did we have to use a third person software why not just email? It is your property so you can do as you like just my opinion.”

“I usually don’t write reviews however I don’t want anyone to fall into any pitfalls This house did not have any hot water on arrival I contacted maintenance and they told be no one can come and I should shower elsewhere until the guy can arrive. Bathroom didn’t have any lights, the place smelled and as well as they don’t let you lower AC lower than 72 so you will have a muggy sweaty room. There is a lot more I can write however enough said”

“There were several concerns that impacted our overall experience: • There was trash outside the home when we arrived, which set an unfortunate first impression. • The carpet throughout the home was excessively stained and appeared unclean. • The stove did not function properly — burners were inconsistent in heating, which caused food to stick and burn, leading us to eat out more often than planned. • Kitchen items (utensils, pots, pans, toaster, coffee maker, and other appliances) are quite outdated and could benefit from upgrades. the stove oven also had a crack in the glass as well! • The TVs, aside from the movie room, are very small and not aligned with the standard”

“This house is not at all a good place to vacation specially with the fees . The house itself was incredibly dirty , and unsanitary. There was trash left from previous visitors on the grill and the grill was not cleaned. The sheets were very stained and unwashed , bugs were on them .The tubs had hair on the drain and the shower curtains had dirt and stains. The dishes were all dirty not a single usable one. The sink had a very pungent sewage smell. We had to do all the cleaning ourselves in order to be able to stay , we washed the sheets and dishes multiple times. The only accurate thing was the view. We reached out immediately and were ignored by vacansa and then air bnb tried to help and they told them they had sent help which they never did. This ruined our trip and would not recommended this place.”

“The house was very comfortable, with great location in town. We asked at booking if the hot tub worked. It was definitely a general response not even answering the question. At check of course we couldn’t figure out to turn on the hot tub and the porch was not lit. We tried to contact house owners with no response. Finally midday of our second day of three the owner called had no idea how to turn it on. They said someone would call us and be out to fix it. No calls no communication. Disappointed”
