It is all about location with this property! Quiet neighborhood for walking the dogs but with a quick walk we were at Stop 1 of the hop on- hop off trolley. It was perfect for our needs. It is an older historic home so the rooms are naturally smallish but for just two couples it was perfect. The interior of the home was clean and tidy as was the pool area. The pool was cold on arrival but we quickly figured out how to start the heater and took advantage of not just the pool but the fire pit. Wifi was excellent but if you are traveling with children there is just one television in the main sitting area. Carefully look at the floor plan as the bedrooms are "train car" style and the middle bedroom is interior with no window. We were glad to not have to use it! We all said we would absolutely stay again.
Super cute themed decor!

The property was in a very nice, central location. It was close to everything we wanted to do & the neighborhood was great. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the description of the property and the responsiveness of the host was where my review dropped. It took over 24hrs to get a response. The pool was NOT heated (as advertised and the main reason we booked this house instead of another) & no communication at all to let us know a tech was coming by early in the morning. The rooms were just that: rooms with a bed. No closet, no storage for any of our clothes or toiletries. The kitchen had plenty of plates & cups, but only one oversized mixing bowl. No food storage containers for those of us who like to cook for our families. I was hesitant to write any of this bc I have never left anything but 5 stars on any if the other properties we have visited, but I also have never experienced the lack of communication or lack of basic storage that this property offered. I just want others to know what they're getting into before they rent as I read reviews and none mentioned these issues. We only stayed a few days, but a week or longer would have been uncomfortable.

Located in the perfect area! Walk or short drive to nearly everything! Trolley tour and old jail and old merchantile right on the corner. Pool was a big plus after a day of sight seeing! Grilled steaks one night and burgers another. Back porch was our hangout, loved the screened in porch and pool! Final night of our stay we enjoyed a nice fire in the fire ring. Nothing but good times!

Very cute quaint older house. Pictures don't give accurate details of exactly how house actually is. Main bedroom bed is a little hard, and oddly set up. The pool was dirty with stuff coming thru the netting above, but that was understandable with all the rain and storms. The house could use a little better cleaning as when we got there one of the bathroom rugs was soaked and the counters hadn't been wiped and the silverware and knives were dirty.Overall, we enjoyed the house And it took care of our shelter needs while on vacation.

Lovely older house

The house was located on a quaint tree lined street close to the fountain of youth. The bedrooms did not have TV. The water pressure in the second bathroom was low so everyone used the master shower. Plenty of space and overall good place to stay

Relaxing spot so close to everything

We were surprised how quiet this spot was considering how close it was to major tourist spots, the Old Town Trolley hub and the Fountain of Youth. After a long day of sightseeing, it was perfect to come back to a pool the kids could play in. The back porch is so relaxing to enjoy morning coffee and read. We loved walking around the corner each day to beautiful Magnolia Ave with the gorgeous trees draping over the road and peacocks everywhere!

We went as a delayed Christmas with family. The location allowed us ti walk everywhere. The only negative was ir was too cold to enjoy the pool and patio area. We did have to get a Hulu account on order to watch a football game in rhe evening, the home doesn't offer much on the way of tv.

Small but quaint property

We didn’t end up staying the full time because the property just wasn’t what we needed. There is only one television in the living room and it only has streaming services available…although it’s possible that it’s just that we couldn’t figure the cable out. The house is very cute, but smaller than the pictures make it seem. Perfect for a young family, but doesn’t really work with teenage boys. Brittany was very quick to respond and we didn’t have any problems, it just wasn’t right for us. Do note that though it says two full baths, one bathroom has a tub with a sprayer but you can’t stand up to take a shower. Other than that, it’s cute. No complaints, just wasn’t for us.
