Welcome to Florida!

Our beautiful subtropical climate sometimes brings palmetto bugs, mosquitoes, ants, spiders or other small wildlife (squirrels, birds, raccoons, etc.). We maintain professional pest control regularly.
If you see a bug, simply let us know or evict it yourself; we’ll retreat the property if needed.
To help prevent visitors: keep doors closed and don’t leave food or crumbs out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Do NOT stay here! We arrived at VRBO at 4:00 pm as stated. A lady was trying to clean the property and said the property manager went out to buy a new tv since the tv was smashed. This place is unkept with broken cracked ceramic tile, filthy dirty grout, no curtains on the bedroom window, and no way acceptable for guests. The cluttered yard is far from desirable too. We had reserved the property for 16 nights, but refused to stay there even one night. It is in a questionable neighborhood.

This property is in a questionable neighborhood.

It’s a low end property. The only plus is the price…
