The house was perfect for what we wanted. The pool was great, as well as the dock. However, the yard needs some serious maintenance. The mosquito’s were unbearable. The brush all needs cut back and sprayed. I realize we are on the water, but spraying and cutting back the brush would be so helpful. Nothing like spending tons of money, that even walking to the car is an attack. My poor grandkids. I would also like to add, upgrade your grills. The one has a hole in the bottom, needs to go in trash, and the smoker is barely hanging on. You also need better pool loungers. The swings are nice but not super useful. I will say the house overall was clean and would go back if they made these changes.

Overall the house has great view and location is decent. There could be some updates made to the i terror and exterior of the property. The house did have a smell when we arrived which I very quickly found the source. Something was left in the disposal and gnats had accumulated inside the kitchen sink. I would have thought the cleaning service between rentals would have cleaned that to ensure something like that wouldn’t have happened. The sinks in bathrooms worked poorly. Drainage in sinks and showers weren’t great. The pool area was like a forgotten asset. No lounge chairs at all and very poorly designed with no furniture or landscaping. Just think for the price being charged, the house should have these updates to add value.

Overall day was good and location was good for fishing and watching beautiful sunsets. The weather was not great so we did not use the pool. The house needs some work, and needs to be exterminated. I don’t think it is worth the money that they charge. The pier lights did not, other than under the boat slip. One of the faucets in the master bath did not work. Upon arriving, while unloading, I noticed the ceiling was cut out, and there was pipes exposed under the master bath. I saw a couple of roaches in the kitchen, along with ants. The lockbox was a little bit confusing. There is a lock box at the bottom of the stairs, but that is not the one with the keys. I spent several minutes trying to get it open, only to realize after further inspection, that the lockbox containing the keys, was further up the stairs.
