Summary: I can’t say enough good things about this place, it was perfect for our family of 5. Great location, neighborhood quiet and safe. A beautiful lime tree with so many limes for fresh limeade. Our children loved playing in the backyard and bonus room. It was so nice to have toys and basketball/soccer goal, balls, etc there to entertain the kids. I enjoyed the peloton in the bonus room for some exercise. The host, Sarah, was so communicative and helpful. They provided a pac n play that fit nicely in the walk in closet of the master bedroom for the baby. There was also a high chair provided so we didn’t have to bring one cross country. The beds were comfy, the kids loved the bunk beds. You can also see the Seaworld fireworks from the backyard every night. It truly was the perfect place for our family, will definitely look to stay here again when we visit again!
