This home exceeded our expectations. It was exactly as described and actually even better in person. We were a family of 12, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house was spotless clean, bedrooms were spacious, beds and linens were exceptionally comfortable, and the house was incredibly well equipped with everything we needed and more.The outdoor area was the highlight. The pool was fantastic, the canal views were stunning, and the included activities made our stay even more enjoyable. The kayaks were a must, and the fishing rods were a huge hit with both adults and children. We also loved the billiards table, foosball table, and pool toys.A couple of minor suggestions: offering a greater variety of pillows would be appreciated, and guests with limited mobility should note that there are many stairs throughout the property. This is shown in the listing, so it wasn't a surprise or an issue for us, but it's worth considering.The only aspect that could be improved is the booking experience. After booking through VRBO, we were asked to pay through another website, which felt concerning since VRBO advises against off-platform payments. The pre-arrival communication also focused heavily on payment reminders and house rules. A warmer, more welcoming tone would make a much better first impression. That said, once everything was confirmed, communication was excellent, and the property itself was outstanding. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.
