5 Star House and 5 Star Service!
Review Submitted: August 9, 2009

Driving into Olde Cypress is rather like entering a set from Stepford Wives ! The grounds are groomed to perfection and each home is picture book perfect.
When we arrived at the house we were not disappointed it really is as good as it looks if not better. Ours was a last minute booking and throughout Jack, the owner, was more than helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble.
The house is beautifully and tastefully furnished and very well equipped. Having the computer and internet access made it easy to plan trips and keep in touch and there was plenty to see and do all an easy drive from the house.
We are experienced renters, having owned property in Florida ourselves and having rented homes all over the world, but this is probably one of the nicest homes we have stayed in.
It was particularly nice to find the house so generously and well stocked with the necessities such as soap, toilet paper, dish washing powder, cleaning materials and kitchen basics like oil and herbs etc. We replaced anything we used up but it meant that we did not have to stock up just to get started.
The great choice of herbs and spices and huge gas BBQ meant we had many great suppers in by the pool. The beds were superb and the linens all top quality. Having a courtyard design the lanai and pool area was completely private and there was the bonus of a lovely sunny terrace with views across the lake to the golf course from the rear of the house - great for morning coffee or sun bathing.
While there you have access to golf, a great gym, outdoor pool, tennis courts and the club house - all part of the Olde Cypress Estate. Sunday brunch at the club is a must!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend the house - and its owner to anyone wanting a luxurious home in a beautiful area. The only thing we could fault was that we found the house quite dark but this keeps it cool and private.
This house was set up as a home not a holiday rental and it shows. If you book you are not getting a rental home you are getting ' Home rental ' Thanks Jack !
