Longggg overdue review.
I stayed at the Terrell house following landfall of Hurricane Hellene up until Milton had cleared Florida. My company owners and several crewmembers stayed there for over a week. I can't speak to the price or ease of booking as I wasn't involved in that, but here is what I can say.
Outdoor appeal: This house is gorgeous on the outside and there is plenty of parking. The grass was kept up, the exterior was clean and the pictures of the porch do NOT do it justice. We spent every night on the porch cutting up after working before sunrise until the sun went down.
Indoor: The house has been fully renovated with some excellent choices of keeping the "old" or original stuff. The floors, steps, and railing seems to be original and it has stood the test of time. So neat to walk through. There is a sitting room to the left with modern furniture and a TV room to the right. Down the hall, there is a room to left which connects to the sitting room. To the right is a sweet bedroom with shower and separate tub. TV in every room so I wont add that each time. Further down the hall there is a secretary where we would drop our keys and paperwork. On the left is a fully functional kitchen. You can cook like you are at home! And we did. Across the hall is a a laundry room. This was a must as we did not know how long we may be. There is also a bathroom near the secretary just before the stairs but never used it. Continuing up those same stairs, there is 3 or 4 bedrooms. Im sure this i made clear in the listing and you are not relying on my review for this info. My room was the middle room. It had its own full bathroom. It was amazing.
Cleanliness: The house was clean from top to bottom. I usually can think of something "they" can do better on when its a hotel, but this place was spotless. They had detergent there for us to use in the laundry room, utensils and dinner ware in the kitchen, and WiFi for everyone! No funny smells, very neutral environment for those with sensitivity.
It is difficult to pass judgment on the area as we were not from around there but we had no problems with neighbors. In fact, there is a nice lady nearest to the dollar general who spoke with me for a while on my way. She was so kind and here son was very polite. In fact, on my walk back, they gave us a gift for helping with the disaster relief. I will never forget them. The young man liked football and was a Bucs fan, GO BUCS!!
There isn't anybody too close to the house. We never saw the nearest neighbor. As I mentioned, there is a Dollar General in eyeshot if the trees weren't there. Which was convenient for the toiletries we forgot and the DEF fluid we needed for our truck. There is a couple gas stations nearby. One down the road about a quarter mile that's older and I am not sure if the gas pumps work but they do have beef jerky and Bud Light(no Busch Light though). Then toward the highway about 3 miles away there are 2 other gas stations. Go to the one just across the highway for breakfast, it was GREAT!
Lastly, while I did not book or pay for this place, I did have interaction with management. I accidentally left my laptop in my room. I had it slid under the bed which is a force of habit. I do this to prevent me landing something on top of it forgetting its around. I hadn't even realized when I got home. The owner of my company asked if any of us had left a laptop, and I gasped! I then realized it was my machine. He gave me managements number and they were just happy to get it back to me. I apologized and offered to pay but they declined! Now, I dont know if you have ever left something behind, especially something like a laptop, but unfortunately they usually do not return. In this case, not only did they return it but footed the bill. I know it was between $30 to $50 dollars but still, they did not have to do this. However, they insisted. I literally cannot say enough about this place.
On the fence? Just pull the trigger. This place and the management are UNBELIEVABLE!
