Excellent location close to everything. Place is a bit tired.

Overall it’s located in a great location close to everything. The house is dated and the pool is not really inviting like in the photo we didn’t use it. . The yard is very buggy due to the “tropical look” of the property. The house was clean but full of salamanders. Property manager was nice and responsive.

Tropical Paradise!

I was here to shoot a TV show for Outdoor Channel. I’ve been to Florida many times for work and this is, by far, the coolest property we've rented. Very quiet, surrounded by giant greenery, pool and everthing as-described on the VRBO site. We'll be back!

Beautiful and Comfortable Oasis

My family and I stayed here for a week. We had a wonderful time. The house is very comfortable and very private. We travelled with my kids along with the grandparents and everybody had a bedroom with its own bathroom in their own “wing” of the house. Nobody heard the baby cry at night because all the bedrooms are so separated. The pool is a tropical oasis. There is a lot of foliage and it’s gorgeous. However, there are a lot of bugs as a result. Bring bug spray. The beds are very comfortable. Air conditioning works well. The house itself is a little dated from a decor perspective but it adds to the charm. Would definitely stay again. Also, we forgot something and Yvonne, the property manager, mailed it back for me. She went above and beyond.

Loved our stay -- perfect for our family of 5 adults

I affirmatively liked what others have termed the "somewhat dated" feel of the place. Everything was in good working order, and very comfortable. And it's not so standardly modern that it is stripped of character. Kitchen was well stocked. We used the grill and enjoyed making meals there. Would've loved the pool water to be cooler --but there's nothing hosts can do about the Florida heat! I can't think of anything to change. Thank you!

Best house for our trip

We originally had a trip set up in Fort Meyers for my 50th, but due to Hurricane Ian, the area was blown away and this was plan B. The house turned out Perfect! Each person had their own room, and the Beds were all so comfortable, the pool area was an oasis, and it rained, so we also had a great sitting area inside that was perfect for us women to sit and chat chat chat! It was close to downtown Delray. It was the perfect House for my 50th ! Thank you for the memories!!!!

An incredible sanctuary....

Unlike many travelers who are seeking a vacation spot, our two families were seeking a spot to evacuate from an incoming hurricane on the west coast of Florida where we live. Anyone who has experienced that knows the stress and urgency that accompanies that decision, and our hosts could not have been more understanding and accommodating. The property is exactly as it is displayed on the site, and was incredibly comfortable for the entire time we were there. I recommend this home for anyone looking to have a peaceful and spacious space to enjoy a vacation, and rest assured the management company and owner will ensure your visit is extraordinary. I feel blessed to have found this house last minute to give my family a space of tranquility, and I will forever be grateful for the kindness and attention we received from the management company.
