One Stop Shop

Comforts of home-two refrigerators, two stoves, a dishwasher and washer/dryer! Plenty of room for a family to stretch out…dock is loaded with fish, manatees and we even saw pods of dolphins and a sting ray swam by! For those who have Shipt, Target delivers! The neighborhood is quiet, clean and very well kept! You can tour it with the golf cart that’s provided! The Tranquility Villa exceeded our expectations and it will exceed yours too! The host was very responsive and accommodating! Look no farther, this is the place for you!

Amazing place to stay

This property listing is very underrated. The property manager is very easy going and easy to get a hold of. They have anything you could think of needing there. The hot tub is the size of a small pool and you can’t beat the sunset views.

A Hidden Gem

The home exceeded all expectations. Very open floor plan with plenty of room. It is much larger than pictures shown. Home is well equipped for whatever you need. We have rented many properties over the years & this is by far the most well equipped. Very quiet & private, screened porch was used daily. Definitely will return. The ease of working with the host is the best we’ve encountered.
