The views of the bay were breathtaking! The house was nice, beds were comfortable and it’s not far from restaurants and the hustle & bustle of the beach traffic. My family & I enjoyed our stay.

Disappointing

The home was ok . The master bedroom and the kitchen seemed to had a spill not cleaned properly . The satellite and internet only worked”now trying to be generous “maybe 1 hour on a 4 night stay . Mostly, the upkeep of the grounds is nonexistent. Garbage and debris everywhere . Also the lot is overgrown unbelievably !

Disappointed

Based on the website the house looked great. Upon arriving at house the first thing you see is the property is in a mess. You can’t use any of the property other than under the house. There are broken boards with nails and screws all along the back. Trees down and debris left all around the house making the property totally unusable. The floor plan of the house was great and there was plenty of room for everyone. That is the ONLY good things I can say about that. The cable/satellite didn’t work on any of the bedroom tvs, and worked sporadically in the living room. Told maintenance man Brandon when he came out to fix the door handle that fell off in my hand while trying to shut the back door. He checked it out and said the satellite company would have to come out and fix it and he would let them know. Never saw them. All of the carpeting on the stairs and upstairs rooms was stained. There was one stair the carpeting was detached and if not careful it would slip when you stepped on it. The rug in the living room was VERY stained and dirty. Several air vents clearly had mold around them. Most of the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. We just washed them before we used them. They need to hire a new cleaning service because the one they are using is sloppy and lazy. For the price we paid on rental really expected better. 10/10 Will NEVER RECOMMEND this rental company.

Disappointed

For the amount of money we paid to stay here I'm disappointed. The carpet on the stairs was nasty. The outside of the house had algae. The back and sides of the property was overgrown. We did see an alegator in the bay which concerned me with how overgrown the backyard was. The boat dock made for a nad view. Again, with the price we paid the property and boat dock should have been in better condition.

Had a good time at the beach and staying at your property we were pretty close to everything. We were able to see dolphins off the balcony a couple of times which the kids really enjoyed.
