Best asset is the backyard, with plenty of lounging space, comfortable outdoor grill/fire pit area. House itself needs updating in spots (unfinished in areas: closet, bathroom, broken bench swing in backyard), cleaning supplies, washcloths for bathrooms, and extra blankets for beds. Be aware of maintenance crew having access to garage area frequently (noisy at times when garage door opens).
Lack of communication was not there. Had to contact Vrbo directly because host would not respond to get my key code to get in door. House was nice and stay was nice. Just not from host!
Nice Property - Property Manager Communication Lacking
The property was beautiful and as described. The property manager was extremely difficult to get ahold of, I was required to send 4 follow ups at certain points. I also had to call VRBO to have them reach out to the property manager.
Would recommend if you're looking for a large property, it's a bit of a drive from most places though. You will have difficulty recieving responses from the property manager leading up to the booked date though.
Outdoor setup is great!! Fantastic for a group. Pool, fire pit, dock, and pergola area was great for our group to relax throughout the day. Inside was very spacious and nice. Great communication with Aaron before and during stay. Would recommend addition blankets as we had 15 staying but overall great property and would recommend to all and would definitely stay again! Thank you glam homes!!
We had a good stay and everything was good. A few suggestions: 1) the interior could use a paint job as there are a lot of marks/scuffs on the walls 2) it would be nice for you to make washcloths (and not just hand towels and body towels) available and 3) the knives could use sharpening.
For a large family gathering of 8 adults and 7 children (infant to 5 1/2 years), this property was perfect!
We spent most of our time in the heated pool, eating outdoors, and going to Greynolds Park with the kids.
Sleeping accomodations suited our family needs. We made one room into the kids' room by lining up the twin beds and cot.
The family had a memorable time together!
We encountered some issues with a couple of the appliances, which were promptly replaced within 24 hrs.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
First off I wanna start off by saying the owner of this property is a great guy, easy to communicate with and willing to please his guests. I can fully understand having private security for such an awesome house is necessary when renting to strangers, however, not once, not twice but 3 times I was contacted by security for an issue we were not causing. The security team itself needs to be upgraded because they make mistakes that could have easily caused the landlord to terminate my stay. Apparently thereâs another house listed on same block owned by the same owner. Whatever they were doing in that house like having noise or more than 3 cars in driveway or more than the amount of people allowed in the house I WOULD RECEIVE THE CALL! Yes human error is possible but 3 times? Different nights? While on an ultimate vacation that I spent well over 10k on???? Security was the only thing about this house that needs upgrading. Other than that they still get 5 stars from me because the house itself is everything! It served its purpose. The beds a little small, or I could just be a little big, either way Iâm just glad I wasnât in the room with the 2 twins. Thereâs also 2 pull out cots for larger groups like mine. Bring a fire stick⊠the back yard should have been where I slept but it is florida and you are on a lake. âŠ. The backyard is definitely why I didnât mind paying. I feel like I got a deal! Not too much to complain about with this house. 2 mins from Publix and cvs the house is on a busy street in a Great neighborhood. Pool table and the pool were no tbh awesome. Washer and dryer. And yes you can swim and kayak in the lake with equipment at the house. Multiple spots in the backyard to just simply chill out, Especially after the sun does itâs thing.
Top Unmatched Backyard with Incredible Lakefront View!!!
Unmatched backyard , there's an incredible lakefront view ! Good location! 10 Minutes away from the beach and 5 minutes away to the Aventura Mall shopping.
There are many funs never ends in this beautiful house. My kids were enjoying in the swimming pool and kayaking in the backyard lake. We spent most of time in this amazing villa rather than going out. The fantastic waterfront is perfect to spend the time relaxing and enjoying of the views.
The host is super friendly. He would meet our satisfactions once we requested. I definitely will choose this villa for the next trip.
Our only complaint was as a home that sleeps 10- there are only 4 poolside side chairs. The outside dining set was not very usable due to chairs that were likely assembled incorrectly or just super uncomfortable. Poolside stone/tile was very uneven and would be dangerous for a toddler or an elderly person. Hot water in the showers was a problem. We had a problem with the master bedroom door locking us out but management sent someone very quickly to replace the door knob. Very clean and spacious just needs a little work. Add some outdoor seating and fix the brickwork pool surround and I would give it 5 stars.
Everything was as pictured. If there was an issue Aaron was sure to get it taken care of. We had a great time; the week went too quickly. The backyard is very relaxing!
I wanted to write a review once we landed home in NY but this couldn't wait I wanted to make sure NO ONE BOOKS THIS DISASTER of a vacation and goes through this terrible experience we did with the host!
I'm not sure why the host would even rent this property if his whole goal is to Torture us daily.
We are all 38+ years old (not young kids) all busy professionals who got together to enjoy a few days in Florida to celebrate a birthday. Every day this host tormented us on anything and everything. Firstly, he himself made a noise complaint and called security on us. When security arrived they told us they had no idea why they were asked to come and acknowledged that we were quite and respectful. They apologized and left. Secondly, he controls the air conditioner temperature. If you need to lower or raise you have to call him. Thirdly, there are cameras watching you in an enclosed backyard.
The most troubling part of this experience is that we agreed to a late checkout. We agreed to 4pm checkout. The night before when we could no longer change our flights he texted us that he wants us out by 10am...it gets better at 9am his cleaning crew arrived and almost broke the door down by banging on the door. We had no where to go. Our flight was at 8pm. Wait The Best Partttt we loaded the fridge with food to take with us THE CLEANING CREW STARTED COOKING OUR FOOD making eggs and bagels for themselves eating our food without asking while we were still there . TRUST ME THE PICTURES MEAN NOTHING IT WILL BE THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE!! HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND
Beautiful property, was a perfect stay for a group of 11 guys.
Pictures donât do the property or home justice. Itâs beautiful. Went with a group of 11 of my closest friends (ages 25-30) in order to see Miami and we ended up staying at the house during most of our stay because it gave us no reason to leave. Would definitely recommend staying here!
