It was clean, there was good seating for visiting, the kitchen was well supplied with dishes, glasses etc., but no food items other than salt and pepper. There was a Keurig coffee system and some pods and creamer. There were gator items everywhere including one very creepy picture in the master bedroom. The door to the bathroom in the back of the house wouldn't close completely. The master bedroom bed didn't have a top sheet, and only one bed pillow had a pillowcase. For the price, location and number of bedrooms and baths it was perfect for our purposes. ##### Terry P.
