| Just want to say we had a fantastic time staying at this villa. A real home form home expirience. The area is quiet and around an hour to south beach but is nearer to the Keys. You will definetly need a car to get around. The owner Joe is next door and to hand when you need him and you literally just have to take yourself and your clothes and the villa provides everything you need including your toothbrush and all toiletries.The BBQ was fantastic which meant that the men did all the cooking!! Last but not least the villa has a very big pool which kept the kids amused all day. If i have the opportunity again i will go back to this villa. |

We did not want to leave!!!
From the moment we arrived at this lovely holiday house we felt very much at home.
Joe, the owner lives next door, was very helpful and available anytime in case of problems or questions.
The house is spacious, clean and nicely furnished. We loved the big pool within the private garden and had a dip every day. There are sunloungers and plenty of chairs, no need to bring your own beach towels, everything is there-from suncream to shampoo, even mosquito spray.
The kitchen is well equipped, we especially loved the smoothie maker to make cocktails to sip by the pool in the sunshine!
The neighbourhood is quiet, the supermarket just a short drive away. There is plenty of shopping in the area, Miami Beach and the Everglades are within 1 hours drive. Don't miss to visit the Floria Keys, which are a group of island in the south. Key West is 3.5 hours by car and absolutely worth a visit. In the house there is a lot more information about what to do and where to go.
Thanks again Joe, we had a great holiday and would definetely recommend your place to others!

| This property is a great location for those who would like to see the Miami area or just hang out at the house around the pool. The kitchen has everything you need to make all your meals and plenty of room for everyone to join in. The lay out of the home is great giving everyone the space the might need. It is great having Joe next door as he is just a phone call away to assist you with any advice you may want about local attractions and or directions. The pool is so nice to come home to after a long day of site seeing. Just bring your bathing suit and clothes because everything elss is supplied! Thanks Joe! We gals had a truly great time! We will be back! |

Hi Joe,
Sorry for just getting around to visiting your guest book. We had a wonderful time at your lovely place in August this year. My children and grand children did not want to leave so after one week. We thoroughly enjoyed everything, especially the pool and the washer and dryer. Your place was so clean just the way we keep ours at home. We plan to return in again this summer. As soon as we know the exact dates, we will finalize our stay. Thanks for your hospility and that of your lovely wife. You both made our stay very memorable.

The kids loved the pool & the yard, the adults loved the patio, grill & all of the comforts of home. Joe has thought of everything from toiletries, to dishes, spices & paper products. The house is well maintained & kept very clean for a reasonable rent. Joe was so helpful to us navigating the area, anything you need is not far away. Enjoy! |

We stayed in this house for 5 days recently while attending a family wedding
in Miami. The owner, who lives nearby, is friendly and helpful. The location
was ideal for us. More important, the house itself was well-equipped and
quite comfortable for five people. We particularly liked the fact that there
were a number of separate spaces inside (with TVs!)and out that allowed a
sense of privacy for each of us. We would definitely recommend this home to
friends and family who plan to visit South Florida.
Again, thanks for everything!

Hello from Finland
We lived in feb. - march 2005 two weeks in this vacation home and we were very satisfied. The house was nice and everything worked fine. We swam in the pool and enjoyed very much of the yard too. It was nice to sit and enjoy the sun. The neighbourhood was safe so we can recommend this vacation home.
