We saw dolphins swimming in the lake, which was amazing! The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking from the deck. The kitchen was well-stocked with what we needed and had a number of spices, which was handy. There were plenty of beach towels and the fact that the doorwalls were double panel sliders that slid back to multiple 10' wide openings was a really unique and exotic feature that we enjoyed, since we didn't need to use the A/C in December.We did have an issue with no pool heat for the first half of our stay. The mgt company did get it fixed part way through our stay. The beds were also quite hard for our liking and seem like they could benefit from mattress pads. Overall, the house was a great rental for us, mainly due to the pool area and lakefront. ##### Bill S.
