Our recent visit to this property was spectacular. We were three couples looking for a change of scenery for a small getaway from home; the property was perfect for us. The home is even better than pictured.
Host, Tim, was wonderful in communicating, as was Ingrid, the property manager. Tim was extremely professional in answering my questions and concerns prior to booking.
Highlights:
1. Spacious, well-laid out design. Rooms are nicely sized, and lay-out provides privacy, especially if traveling with couples.
2. The decor is beautiful, furniture is classic, and much thought was clearly put into the choices. Decor is show-case worthy, yet comfortable in every aspect.
3. Home is well-maintained, and feels new in every aspect. Nothing shabby or dingy is in the home. You have the spaciousness of a home, and the feel of a high-end hotel.
4. The host has clearly placed information regarding the home and the area, which was appreciated.
5. The pool and spa were well maintained. The spa heats up quickly, and gets nicely hot.
6. The view of the lake from the pool area and from the main rooms of the home is simply beautiful.
7. Supermarkets nearby. 25 minutes drive to Sanibel. Neighborhood is very quiet and residential.
8. There are 4 bedrooms; each are nicely decorated and arranged:
A. Master bedroom/bathroom = WOW! Beautifully appointed with an amazing bathroom and walk-through double shower. Beautiful view of the lake, and is on the opposite side of the home from the other 3 bedrooms.
B. Bedroom 2 - King sized bed with en suite bathroom that opens to pool area. Beautiful view of the lake.
C. Bedroom 3 - Located down the hall from the second bedroom. Twin beds, nice sized room. Bathroom is not en suite, but is immediately next to the bedroom. The bathroom is quite large, and beautifully decorated. The bathroom is between bedrooms 2 and 3, thus giving each room more privacy. No lake view from this room, but the decor is really lovely.
D. Bedroom 4 - Located on the opposite end of the house from rooms 2 and 3. It has twin beds that can be converted into a king. (I slept in the converted bed, and it was surprisingly comfortable.) The room has an en suite bathroom. While it is smaller than the other bedrooms and does not have the lake view, it was cozy, and the privacy was really quite nice.
House was great for a quiet get away. All of our group loved the home, and it is worthy of full 5 stars!
