"Both the home and the surrounding yard were gorgeous and immaculately maintained. Access to the property was easy in our small vehicle and the host made the check in procedure smooth and pleasant. The home was spotless, cool and comfortable. The icing on the cake was definitely the deck with a beautiful view of the Gulf (zero obstructions and a mere stone throw away) plenty of sun or shade and comfortable / functional patio furniture. We rate it a 10 on a 10 with our only regret being we did not have longer to stay. We definitely plan to return."
