We enjoyed our stay.The property is nice and clean. Kitchen is pretty stocked up with dishes. Very close to beach and shops ( all in walking distance). Washer and dryer inside is a big plus.Could totally use new blinds on windows for a better privacy! Also the outside gate door lock is rusted and broken.

I was very impressed with the response time and results that I received from any questions, clarification, and/or requests that I sent to GCVR. Their client service was excellent from the quoting process to checkout to planning for the following year. I highly recommend GCVR to anyone who is planning to spend time in Florida
