Everything was great. Our only issue had nothing to do with the home, we were stuck in the Atlanta airport for 30 hours and didn’t get to stay at the home on our first night. The house itself was very nice and relaxing!

Potential Paradise

Architecture of home amazing! We understand how hurricanes can take a toll on properties though home cleanliness has nothing to do with a hurricane. Daytime living areas clean and decorated nicely. Bathrooms dirty, felt as though some sheets not changed for our stay. Dust bunnies in bedrooms, and one bedroom smelled like dog. Arm of living room chair broken, should probably be repaired before a guest is injured. Owner promptly sent manager to attend to the leaking dishwasher. Owner promptly attended to a question we had with the pool that turned out to be no concern. When owner told about cleanliness of house a verbal apology was given though issues were not addressed while we were there. Enjoyed the use of fishing poles in the garage and the BBQ! Loved seeing nature and animals in the area!

Had a wonderful time at this property! Absolutely beautiful house. Huge! Great lanai. Really nice view of the canal but also very private. Garage was stuffed full of things to use. Coolers, shell sifters, bikes, etc. Already planning next trip but will bring more people to fill the house. Owners were great to work with!! All thumbs up for us on this property!!

Relaxed November stay in South Gulf Cove

This is a comfortable, well-equipped property with a warm outdoor pool. Towels and bedding were generously supplied and various bicycles and beach items were available. Some of the fittings and equipment are dated, but generally function ok. The owners are very welcoming and were responsive to the feedback we provided on a couple of issues. It should be noted that we visited not long after Hurricanes Helene and Milton passed through and that the owners and the region as a whole were still in a clean-up/recovery phase.

Extra accommodations for our family gathering.

I rented the property for our son and his 4 children because we did not have room for everyone to sleep at our home. We live nearby, so they had their meals at our place. They were pleased with the accommodations. Linda was quick to respond to my questions and made the process seamless. Very happy with our choice.
