Open door policy
Cute we entered without needing a code brought our stuff in I thought it was strange but as soon as we tried to lock it to go to meet family for dinner it said lock and it opened as soon as I touched the handle.
I tried to get in touch with the host her son called me and said don’t worry it’s a safe area. So….I would never sleep or leave my house unlocked and I am in a safe area. We will come in the morning to reprogram it. We just changed the battery and did not reprogram it properly.
That is unacceptable !! Who would stay in any room without a lock.
Vrbo said they would put us in another place on them but that never happened they put me on hold and dropped my call 2x.
Needless to say, I went and found other accommodations on my own and now I have to fight for the refund of the watermelon

Nothing like a watermelon!
The Watermelon was very cool and unique. When I saw it listed, I had to check it out. The photos they put up is exactly what it is. It's also got a private area just outside the watermelon with two chairs, a table and grill. I wasn't familiar with Largo before, but there's a lot of stuff and it's all close to the place. A truly unique experience. I would recommend.

My best friend and I had a magical experience in this little studio watermelon dome🤩 We truly didn’t want to leave the property! There was plenty of space for 2 of us to eat and lounge. No storage so you’ll live out of your luggage but we didn’t mind! The creativity of the property was just what we needed to compliment our beach days. It was quiet, felt safe, I think it could be included the little village of small rentals along with the watermelon! That would’ve made us pick this listing even quicker😄 We liked the community feel! We will absolutely be back 🍉

Tiny Home….Cute!
My husband and daughter (age 11) has a great stay at the Watermelon! It’s cute and cozy. If we had one wish it would be for a softer bed. Definitely would stay here again!
