Great property and very equipped with everything you could think of ! Chris was very prompt on communication and helpful with everything that we required for the stay at their property. The yard is great for dogs and the pool was fun for the kids. They also have a little extra room that we hung out in with the cool light system. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Everything was great!!Very good location close to Publix, Danny’s pizza, Walmart only a few miles away.They allowed pets so I was able to bring our small dog instead of boarding him. Back yard was fenced so we weren’t worried about dog or kids.Hoping to go back in a few months.The owner also texted us to make sure we were all set.
