The location was very convenient for scuba diving. The RV was clean and in good condition.
We could not find our Lot number which prevented our check-in. This was infuriating after a long drive from PA to FL. Getting someone on the phone with Expedia and Vrbo to resolve this simple issue was a very poor experience. This is a problem with Expedia and Vrbo, not the RV owner/host.
First thing my friend went to wash her hands at the kitchen sink and the handle wasnât even attached. Contacted the host and she just said you can get the water to work. We will fix it after you leave. They have a big cockroach problem and contacted host and she said thatâs what you get down in Florida and she would let pest control know. Ran out of toilet paper and paper towels. Told she has no way of getting some to us until after we are gone. Told to purchase ourselves and we would be reimbursed 30. I have not seen that reimbursement. I absolutely HATE to have to give a bad review but I would want to know what I was getting into before I paid all that money. Just trying to help someone else.
I brought the kids down for spring break. The location was perfect. The home was well maintained. We really enjoyed our trip. The community pool and hammocks were awesome on morning walk. I got to see some manatees.
Check in was a little bit of a problem. No site address was sent with the arrival information and we arrived after 4pm. The office closed at 4pm. Security handles checkin after 4 and had a tough time finding the unit. Other than that the place was great and the campground facility was very good also. We enjoyed our stay very much with lots of great places to eat nearby.
Very confined area. Difficult to find. Many roaches, insects. Be careful booking with these people!! Many things at this place are broken or halfway glued together and they are pretending that theyâre not! The stairs that lead up to the house? They have hand knobs on them that are held together with small wire instead of more permanent fasteners. My son almost fell off the stairs when one came loose when he held onto it for support walking up the stairs!
The âmasterâ bed is permanently slammed down at the feet and metal parts of the bed frame stick out and always hit your shins!
Then, as if thatâs not enough, they charge you extra saying that YOU broke their stuff (the handrail) when it was set up to be dangerous and fall off! Very underhanded hosts.
The best part about this property is the location. If you donât have a boat, Iâm not sure what you would do here. The mobile home was well kept and the outdoor porch space was very nice. The property manager was excellent and responsive. Fair warning though, people staying in this park like to party. We were woken up at 5am on Sunday from extremely loud music that went on for 3 hours. People also often drove by late at night playing loud music. This is not the owners fault!!! We still had a lovely time taking our boat out and making a few meals in the trailer.
Marlene was exceptional. We reported problem with Wi-Fi & tv as well as kitchen air conditioning and she contacted us back right away. However the kitchen ac never worked . She said bedroom ac should cool entire unit. It did not for us making the sitting area warm in the afternoon. The futon / sofas were uncomfortable! We play all day but like to relax in the evenings. We could not find a comfort level . My husband looked like a giant on a kids sofa. We enjoyed the golf cart & the screened porch. It has a nice out door grill but only 2 pots making it difficult to prepare a full meal easily. Again the place is clean & well maintained but we were just too warm & uncomfortable inside. We also regret that we didnât choose a place with cable tv - streaming tv for us is difficult & only fire tv channels & free apps are available. In the future we want a place with cable for sure. Enjoyed the keys & the campground but will look for something else next time. Again Marlene is great and she tried to walk us through kitchen ac but it would never cool. She sent us a new fire stick for local news .
We loved our stay at Calusa. The property was very clean, well stocked, more private than other homes in the same area. Very quiet street with no neighbors in front of you. It was the perfect location for us to go explore all of the Keys. The Calusa staff was always friendly and helpful. The property manager was exceptional and was always quick to reply to us. They were also extremely accommodating when we had to reschedule our trip. Communication was the best we'd ever had with a vacation rental. There are endless things to do in the Keys!! We can't wait to come back this winter with my folks. Highly recommend.
Everything was great. Really only good sleeping accommodations for 2. Nice Queen size bed. 2 small fold down couches for others, not very comfortable. Nice bath with full size shower. Only bummer was fridge. Smelled like fish badly. Suggest separate freezer for guests to store Chum and fish.
My wife and I stayed here during our first time to the keys. We were disappointed to find out that the outdoor pool was out of commission during the entire length of our stay- which was one of the main reasons we booked Calusa. The RV is perfect for 2 adults. It lacked some of the basic essentials needed for staying a length of time; but overall a great place to stay!
We stayed here as a central location to south Florida and the keys.
The full size shower was great and had great water pressure!! The sleeping situation however was less than ideal. The âcouchesâ to sleep on are about 1 foot too short for the average 5â6 human and were horribly uncomfortable. The bed in the âmasterâ was okay but on wheels so moved constantly, so unable to sleep 2 people there.
We didnât use the kitchen at all to cook or prepare food so canât speak to that area.
We ended up leaving a day early to be closer to our airport and to get some decent sleep. That said, the camp ground was quiet and clean and the golf cart was great fun to drive around the camp grounds!
If you are a small party of 1 or 2 people this place could work good for you! Squeezing 4 full size humans into this place wasnât ideal however. Lol. Live and learn!
Love it, had a great time. The AC roof unit was very loud, so I shut it off at bedtime. Very clean unit(except for the dishes, probably from nobody using them. Definitely recommend, campground/ marina is awesome.
It was located right on the water where we saw manatees DAILY!! The best part was relaxing in the hammocks on the water while reading a book. So relaxing.
