We stayed for 5 nights with my family of 5 and my parents. We loved a few things about the house, including the location, the set up, and the outdoor space. This place seems off the beaten path but takes only minutes to get to the beach! It is so quiet and serene! My husband and father loved fishing off the dock. We saw a gator the first day, and they caught lots of fish! We loved the balcony and the swings were a big hit for my kids! The house was set up nicely with a large family space for us to gather in the middle.
A few disappointments, were the front stairs and wall around the dock being broken and having caution tape. I feel that it is a safety issue and those things need to be fixed. One reason we chose this place specifically was the hot tub, which we were not able to use. That would have given this 5 stars and I could overlook the rest of the things if that was available.
Things were straightened and basics were done, but there were lots of dusty areas, things like walls and blinds made it feel like you didn't know what was actually clean. The appliances (stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer) were pretty outdated and could use a good cleaning. Closet doors were off the tracks, a kitchen chair was broken and I almost fell. The shower in one bathroom has no light, so I hung a flashlight in the shower.
Again, I felt like those things didn't really hinder our trip, we enjoyed our stay very much, I just would have liked to know the condition a little better before walking in. All in all, we had so much fun here, the beds were clean and comfortable, we loved that there were games and puzzles and fishing poles for the kids to use, A great place for us to gather and spend a week doing nothing with our family.
