Great escape

The family couldn’t stop commenting on how perfect and wonderful the place was. Other than golfing there was no need to go anywhere else. The pool area was perfect for fun and much needed relaxation. We would definitely stay again!

The Grotto

The house is very nice. The backyard/pool area is outstanding. The best outdoor living space that we have stayed in for Spring Break. Private area, but close enough to things that you can get to everything quickly. Highly recommend.

We had the time of our lives here for a guys weekend getaway. Jennifer’s property was exactly what we hoped it would be and more. The pictures don’t do it justice. What really stood out is when the little things popped up like having issues with the lock code, questions about the AC upstairs, etc Jennifer was incredibly responsive. She’s an A host. I have extended family that loves to travel and I’d absolutely recommend we look at this place in the future. Thank you for such an amazing weekend, Jennifer.

Amazing Home

We had an amazing stay! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The yard was our favorite part of the house. We spent almost the entire time outside playing the various of games that were provided for us at the house. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to enjoy some outside time while on vacation.

Incredible!

This place is heaven on earth. Oasis is the right word. The house is incredible and well equipped and the pool is out of this world. Do be warned that with the pool heated plus the sun, it was hovering around 94 degrees the whole time. We really enjoyed it in the evenings but it was too hot during the day. Kitchen was lovely. Communicating with the host was fast and easy! I hope to return someday!

Go to the Grotto!

The home and its many outdoor features (outdoor bar/lounges, grotto, lazy river, hot tub, basketball court, tree-lined acreage, etc.) along with plenty of indoor areas for gathering, game playing, etc., offered many options for both a fun-filled vacation getaway. The hosts were exactly what VRBO renters desire: great communication as well as a comfortable, well-appointed home.

We loved our stay. Lots of space, the pool area is amazing as described. Not too far of a drive to Downtown Tampa, but has the feeling of being far away from the city. Jennifer is great with communication. You will not be disappointed

We had a great vacation and found the property to be everything that is stated and more. Our host was fantastic and fast in answering the few questions we had. The location was beautiful and very private even though we were 30 minutes or less from all the sites we wanted to visit. The pool is as amazing as it looks! I personally loved the fishpond which was a surprise to me. Thank you for a great vacation!

Great home

This was a great property. The backyard is of course the main draw, as it should be for anyone getting getting away from colder temperatures trying to enjoy a little r&r. The house itself was also wonderful and was perfect spot for our golf trip. Lots of space and plenty to do. Would stay here again.

The pool is amazing! It makes the place! We had a group of 12 and others join to swim during the day and people had a hard time leaving the pool. The temperature was perfect, the grotto was awesome, and the waterfall was icing on the cake. Jen was very accommodating and always super responsive. The house had everything you would need and plenty of room to hang out. We enjoyed the entertainment room and visiting the neighbor pig. It was a peaceful house and beautiful as well. The only reason we wouldn’t give this place five stars is the comfort of the beds. The beds were very firm and the one sofa bed mattress was difficult to pull out and felt like there was no padding left on the mattress. Other than that, we had a great time, had plenty of room and were happy dogs were welcome as well.
