The home was great except, being a fisherman there wasn't a fish cleaning station on the dock. The pool was advertised as having a screen enclosure. Trip was shorter then expected.

Owner needs to do some work.

We recived no check-in message from the owner. There was no message stating where the key would be placed. I tried to call the owner twice and I left a voicemail. I never recived a call back. I was talking with a Vrbo agent when one of my daughters happened to find the hidden key. We would have had to spend money on a hotel since we could not get ahold of the owner. Upon entering the home it was very dirty. Window unit is filty. Ants crawling all over the counter and floor in kitchen. Vent for furnace filter is filthy. Windows in bedroom had to be covered by towels because there are no blinds. Skimmed the pool and once the kids got in, the dirt kicked up and was so cloudy. Daughter then scraped her head on the pool and had to go to the emergency room to get staples. There was a lizard in the bathroom and a cockroach in the smaller bedroom. The light in the main bedroom is hanging b the wires so we did not run the ceiling fan. Definitely a huge fire hazard. This place needs to be off Vrbo until some serious works gets done.

Best VRBO stay ever

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The property was everything described and more. The owners thought of everything. The property was clean, maintained, very well supplied, and in a friendly community with access to anything you might decide you needed within 10 minutes. We really needed a getaway from life stress, and found it here. The owners could not have been more helpful or accommodating before and during our stay. Would recommend for adults or families 100%.

Spacious home

The owners are very responsive. Anything we needed they promptly responded and resolved. The 2 bedrooms are very large, one has bunl beds in it with another large pull out bed in living area. Lots of different areas to hang out with family. The pool was plenty big for our size family. Some pool toys available and we also bought some extras at the local dollar store. Everyone loved sitting and fishing off the covered dock. The owners left lots of snacks and goodies for the family which was super sweet. We would definitely stay again

Fishing Vacation

Barb, our host is awesome. When we arrived we were met by a delivery of groceries, fruit, snacks for the kids, water. That was a pleasant surprise. This is our second stay at Taylor Creek. We will definitely come back again. There have been some improvements made to the property since our first visit. There were 5 adults and 2 children. We had ample room for all. The home had everything we needed for our stay. The only thing we missed was the fish cleaning station that was on the dock for our first trip. Many thanks to Barb for providing us a great place to stay. Thanks, The Corkern’s

Nice place, great host

This property was very quaint and nice. It was clean and very well appointed. The snacks waiting at the front door were a very nice touch. Made us feel at home without an immediate trip to the store. There were a few quirky / negatives. First, the pool is very nice but is not heated. We were there in late April and specifically searched for a house with a pool but it was simply too cold for us to want to swim. Others may be fine. Another big plus for us when choosing this house was that it had two king beds. There were two couples in our party and that sleeping configuration was important to us. The downside was that the second king room was a converted porch area off of the living room and it had glass doors with no curtains so there was zero privacy in that bedroom and the mattress on that king was exceptionally hard. All in all it was a very nice property. Brand new deck and plenty of fishing gear as well as patio furniture to enjoy the space. Would definitely rent again.

We loved this place! It was our first experience with VRB0 and it exceeded our expectations. There have been updates to the exterior that made it even better than the photos. The house is very spacious and well equipped. It isn't fancy but it has everything you need. The host was very easy to deal with. The covered dock area was just beautiful and we fished with the fishing poles that were supplied. The chairs at the dock were very comfortable and it was very peacefull watching the pelicans, herons, turtles and other birds. The beds and bedding were not plush but were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked,as were the bathrooms, towels, bedding. There is just one tv in the hiuse, in the living room, but it was very big and crystal clear. Just a note, that thr pool is no longer covered and doesnt have the slide anymore. But the liner and fencing looks brand new and it was very clean. We didnt use it though, as we didnt have time and it isnt heated. The beehive play structure in the photos is also not there. The only thing lacking in the house were mirrors (none in the 2 bedrooms, or out in the living area, and no clocks in the 2 bedrooms or living room, and no magnifying mirror, but who needs mirrrors and clocks on vacation anyway!! Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would book again in a hearbeat!

Can’t wait to come back!

This was the perfect vacation! Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) we could need was provided for us with the stay. Barbara even provided a snack basket just for us. She was quick to respond with any questions/needs we had. Truly the perfect spot for a quiet family vacation. We loved the added bonus of the pool and the covered dock on the canal for the kids to fish from was a very popular spot. We are already looking into dates due next year!

Taylor Creek Property

The unit was as described online and fit our needs perfectly. The thoughtfulness of extra toiletries that may have been forgotten and the dish full of snacks waiting on the table was a great touch. There were small issues that we could easily address and discussed with Barbara afterwards for her information. We would defiantly rent here again should the need arise.

Fantastic Fishing

We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend this experience to anyone who loves to fish. We caught more fish here than on Lake Okeechobee and enjoyed every moment of our time here. The home was clean and Barbara was extremely easy to contact and responded quickly. The pool was wonderful. There were upgrades happening on the property but did not take away from the stay. Note: Publix is near by look it up it’s way better than Walmart, we failed to do so and found it on last day there.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Iderosa

My husband is a mechanical engineer working on equipment that goes into space, and he is also a church pastor. We run a small, Christian school, food and clothing pantry, thrift store, and benevolence program for people in the Glades communities. Our church is small, but we give out over 500 boxes of food every week in our small town of Pahokee, FL. I am the principal of our school and earned my bachelor's and master's degree in New Jersey. We both grew up at the shore - he is from CT and I am from NJ - and we love the water.

My husband and I have guardianship of three grandchildren, ages 17, 15, and 10, and we have seven grown children; one is a professor in technical theater at a local university, and one of our daughters is an elementary school teacher in Palm Beach County. Our blended family began 20 years ago with two boys and five girls.

In the past, we have rented other places along the eastern seaboard with our children and had wonderful times with them. We always had fun, and we are here to help you have fun in Okeechobee. We live 30 minutes away from the property and have a son who lives in Okeechobee; so, if there is ever an issue, we are right there to get it taken care of quickly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We will get back to you quickly.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home for our retirement (but not sure we will ever do so). Even so, our grandchildren enjoy the pool and the water - fishing and boating - as well as playing on their phone (ugh!). It is relaxing to get away from it all. And, since we are not able to use it on a regular basis, we thought we could share it with others who are in need of a peaceful place to relax as well as enjoy the scenery. It's a great place to write a book! The neighborhood is quiet (except for our grandchildren) but filled with friendly people. Lots of the neighbors are only down during season. We like it because we can get here in 30 minutes and not have to spend hours traveling with children who continually eat, need to go to the bathroom, and want to know, "Are we there yet?"

What makes this property unique

We both grew up on the water, so this is a place we can afford. We love the pool. We love fishing off the dock. We love the ambience of the water. It is even a nice place when it rains because we can go out to the screened porch, play games, and not even get wet! We love having the whole city of Okeechobee just three minutes away from the house yet not feeling like we are in the city. Of course, Okeechobee is not crowded like Miami, but for people who like to be outdoors, this is a great place to vacation. Rent a pontoon boat; take a ride on an airboat; have a captain take you out fishing; visit Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee about 45 minutes away; take a day trip to Orlando and enjoy all its amenities. Certain times of the year, you can watch a rodeo in person, wait for Santa Claus to come down the street, or visit the thrift stores and craft stores all over the area.
