Pest disclosure
We pride ourselves on a spotless home. Every stay starts with a full professional clean, and the property gets regular pest control. But this is South Florida, and the locals like to drop by. You may spot a little lizard sunning on the patio, a few ants after a rainstorm, or the occasional palmetto bug. They live outdoors here year round and can wander into even the cleanest homes. It is not a sign of an unclean stay, just a small part of Florida living.

The location was perfect close to great restaurants, shops, and attractions, yet still peaceful and relaxing. I especially loved how quiet the area was at night. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. The host went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and even gave me great local recommendations. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and truly welcoming place to stay. It made my trip unforgettable!

Thank you Juan for sharing your beautiful air b and b with us. The pool “oasis” was delightful with all of the tropical plants and landscaping. The kitchen had every appliance that we needed. The living area was furnished perfectly. We enjoyed playing games on the incredibly cool dining room table. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was convenient to the grocery stores. We felt very at home in your delightful house. Hats off to Pierre your co-host who helped us whenever we needed him! We will definitely stay here again if there is availability. Thanks again!
