First Choice Florida Vacation Rentals

This was our second year with the Beachcomber rental through agents … More Cindy and Marty. We didn’t know what to expect last year with our first snowbird rental experience and had some issues with the property that were readily rectified by Cindy. We knew what to expect this year and upon arrival found the property to be in better shape than last year and Cindy also had the owners add the “Sports Package” to the Direct TV. What we and Cindy didn’t expect is that a long awaited one day roof “repair” would turn into a four day complete roof tear-off. We understood the dilemma for a rental agent trying to book a property a year in advance and also trying to get any specific time commitment from a roofer subsequent to dealing with two hurricane seasons. We were the unlucky ones this time and just made do. Cindy was committed to getting us compensated for our “lost” four days and convinced the owners to offer us a fair restitution. We’re coming back next year confident that no roof work will be needed! We really enjoy working with Cindy and Marty.

Stayed at Carpe Diem beach house. House was beautiful, literally … More 100 steps from the beach, nice pool for younger kids to play in, plenty of space for the family to spread out in. House also had several beach items and "convenience items in the kitchen" so we didn't have to run out immediately for supplies. Would highly recommend First Choice Florida Vacation Rentals and Carpe Diem beach house. We will definitely return!!
