Great house!

We loved the location and the house worked great for two families with 5 kids! The ride to the beach was easy on bikes.

We loved the house--inside. It was beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen could use some updates with pots, pans, good knives and such (if you are a "foodie" and like to cook some dinners in--this is not the kitchen for you). The main TV was large, but we could never get "normal" Live TV to work properly. We did get it to work in the bedrooms, so we made that work. Because we had reached out to the owners about beach chairs weeks earlier and got no response, we didn't bother to ask about the TV. Overall, the updated inside was spacious and clean. We did battle keeping it that way--due to the yard. Read on.... The outside could use some help. We have dogs and the unmulched dirt yard made keeping their paws clean problematic. The lack of sidewalks also made it tough to walk them--due to traffic on our way to the bike path. The back deck was tiny, and could use a major overhaul--due to the dirt backyard, the deck was pretty filthy so we never even used it. The community pool was small for the neighborhood, totally shaded and always packed. We also didn't use that--for all of those reasons. We also had some odd maintenance interruptions--they came twice while we were there to fix a hook, but didn't fix it either time. Just seemed odd (and they asked if they could have our leftover alcohol--so strange!). It felt like we were being watched. Like I said, the inside of this house was awesome.....but if you like to venture outside on vacation, maybe keep looking.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as expected. We did notice when we walked around barefoot our feet were very dirty even the first night we arrived. The house is one mile from the beach access but the walk was shaded and nice. We rented bikes one day and rode all the way to harbor town which took 25 minutes. The location of the house is easy to get to the grocery store (Publix). The beds were comfortable and everything else was clean. Oh and the The washer was extremely loud when running! The Neighborhood was quiet. Saw Lots of wildlife. Raccoons an owl and deer at night From the back porch. There was a small alligator in the ditch too! Fun to see! We would stay here again!
