This duplex served its purpose for the week. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space for four people. Kitchen was stocked for a small meal, washer/dryer work quickly, does have only a regular coffee pot (just an FYI for future guests) and dishwasher was a nice bonus. AC and heat work… yes, we had to use both. The home could use a little TLC. The floor is buckling in a couple places and the wood is splintering so be careful if you walk barefoot. Plenty adequate if you only intend to sleep! We would stay again.

We chose this place for the screened porch for our dogs. All of us loved spending time there and watching the wild life on the Canal. No alligators were observed! The kitchen was adequately equiped with items to make simple meals. I brought my crockpot. I appreciated the gate on the front porch also which kept the dogs from bolting down the stairs. Check in was easy! House was clean and smelled clean. Neighborhood was safe; we walked the dogs at night. Furniture was very comfortable as were the beds. The only drawback was carrying the dogs up and down the stairs but the younger kids helped with that. We really enjoyed the location and accomodations and would rent again.

Was not clean . Tubs would not drain . Porch lights were out, stairs very dark . Grill dirty , 2 burners on stove did not work , kitchen not fully equipped to cook . Blinds broke and dirty . Washer would not spin water out of clothes. AC went out Sat . We contacted owner and she scheduled a technician. We checked breakers , unplugged a few things and plugged them back in , 1 hour later AC restated, so technician was canceled .AC went out Sunday . Shonda again scheduled technician. They could not be scheduled until 5-9 pm, making where we went all day without AC. At that point we were frustrated and voiced this to Shonda . She was hateful and had no empathy that we would go all day without AC. Technician arrived , AC kept feeezing up due to cleanliness of filter . We did take pictures upon leaving since Shonda was so hateful . Beds comfortable Great location for walking to shops and beach

Great location! You can walk to the beach, souvenir shops, ice cream shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. It’s also easy to drive and park close to the beach. Grocery stores and amusement parks are very close by. Quiet neighborhood and ample parking. Easy check in process. We had a group of 7 and did need to get paper plates and cups as there’s not many dishes available.

Great and convenient location for larger groups

We had family and friends coming in for a special occassion and rented both sides of the duplex. It worked out well for the size of the group and proximity to the beach and stores, restaurants and attractions. The home itself is older and a little weathered with minimal amenities and supplies but it is more than adequate and we enjoyed the affordability relative to other properties near the beach with similar capacity. Kids fished in the canal, we grilled using the charcoal grills and had a good time.
