Atomic age gem
Depending on your age group, this darling house will remind you of your grandma or great grandma’s super cute childhood home. Size and location are perfect for events at Florida Southern College, such as parent weekend. Some minor maintenance and cleanliness issues, but if you squint you won’t notice them. Kitchen is equipped with every appliance you could imagine, including an original working mechanical push button electric stovetop. But no measuring cups, so don’t try baking anything precisely. Lots of sheets and towels and blankets. Gorgeous screened in patio and large yard if you like to spend time outside.

Cute but needs better overall maintenance
Honestly, overall we appreciated the attempt this property gave. We didn't end up using the kitchen, but it appeared fairly well stocked. The beds and couches were comfortable, and the shampoo/conditioner was a nice plus. The location was perfect for our needs, and we enjoyed being so close to the lake. There were some concerning things that made me feel that the management company who runs this, although being very responsive online, appears to be fairly hands-off with the property. Laundry/bedding that seemed not quite clean, Many of the lights/light switches didn't work, and the washing machine was dirty. There walls that needed repainted, patio in disrepair, shower mats that felt slimy when wet, a sink that backed up with little use and an overall odor of mold made this stay less than ideal. We enjoyed the theme that the property is going for, but it was a little lackluster. It seemed that perhaps it had been vacant for a while, with no one really attending to the property.

Could have been better . . .
First, I will say the property manager was very nice. She purchased a nice grill so we could cook out, as well as a coffee pot, albeit only a four-cup maker, since we don’t use cold press coffee. I will also say that all of us range in age from 68 to 76, on fixed incomes, and expected a little more quality for the price. The house is cute, but it definitely needs some updating and upkeep when you’re paying $1,000+ for the week. Living space: The living room was HOT until my 68-year-old brother fixed the vent and allowed the cold air from the air conditioner to get through. The furniture in the living room and TV room is really uncomfortable, so I ended up in bed reading due to pain. The sectional sofa in the living room should have been in the TV room to allow the family to be in the same room to enjoy TV together. Bathroom: The lighting in the guest bath is terrible. I am tall and ended up standing at the window in the bedroom for the sunlight to put on make-up. The light in the dark, little shower was not working, and there was nothing to help avoid slipping in the shower/tub. It’s especially dangerous for seniors, which we all are. Bedrooms: There are zero dressers or bedside tables in the bedrooms, only little slats of wood mounted on the walls on each side of the beds, without even enough space for to charge your cell phones, clocks, iPads, etc. One of the closets in the bedrooms was locked for, “. . . storing cleaning supplies,” so the closets had to be shared. In the main bedroom, the louvre closet door wasn’t even mounted. Screened porch: Yes, there is a screened porch, which would’ve been nice, but there is no real lighting to be able to enjoy using the porch in the evening when it got cooler outside, but it definitely needs a ceiling fan. It is, after all, Florida.

If you need to be by Florida Southern College this house is a quaint 1960s style house. Very nice and cozy.

Overall It was a nice stay!
We had a good time and it was a good place for the kids to run around. The only recommendations I have is maybe another tv or 2 and maybe a few extra towels/ wash cloths. The owner was very responsive and took care of any problems we had quickly. The surprise pizza was a very nice gesture. I would definitely stay there in the future.
