Background: My wife and I chaperoned a trip with 5 teenagers who were going to SuperCon in Miami Beach, Friday to Sunday. This house was 45 minutes away from the venue and a fantastic bargain.
Pros: Revitali is a fantastic host; very quick to communicate and works hard to solve problems. The backyard faces a lake and is beautiful. The neighborhood is quiet, is convenient to both 95 and the Turnpike. Quick access to grocery store. The house slept the 8 of us comfortably. The Little Cuban Cafe is about 2 miles away and is a phenomenal spot for breakfast and Cuban coffee.
Cons: The water heater and the air conditioner had problems upon our arrival, with water on the floor in the bedroom and bathroom. Revitali got a repairman out to the house, but he was there until well after 11 pm on our first night and we had to mop up water, as well as sweep up after the repairman. Despite this, we did not have hot water the next day, as there was an electrical problem with the new water heater, so a repairman had to come out the next day as well. On the upside, there's a brand new water heater in the unit and it works great now. We did get nice hot showers Saturday night and Sunday morning. Also, our initial impression of the neighborhood concerned us, as several houses nearby had residents evicted from them and all their belongings on the street. As my wife and I were responsible for 3 kids who were not ours on this trip, we were a little worried. The worries were for naught, as we had no problems. Also the kitchen has limited cooking utensils: no mixing bowls, measuring spoons, or measuring cups. If you are going to be cooking in the home, be aware. The coffee maker had some issues as well. The coffee wouldnt drip into the pot unless you held the pot up a couple of centimeters by hand.
On the whole, the house suited our needs and was a good value.
