This is a beautiful spacious house! The pictures and description of the property do not give it justice. Looks like a typical property management owned property: they did not know what the house had to offer and what needed major attention. Nevertheless, management was wonderful in timely resolution of issues. Thank you! There were so many other little things however, but we wanted to enjoy our vacation and not constantly have to contact management. Surely, they will address them on their own time, and future renters will have no issues on their long awaited and well-deserved vacations.
The biggest bummer and shock was the pool condition upon our arrival. It was a green swamp! Management was informed, and we were finally able to use it by the end of our 2nd day there. We do hope to get some compensation. Looks like the place was vacant for some time, drove by earlier, but early check-in request was denied "guests checking out."
This property has an elevator! Main reason for our booking: we have a wheelchair-bound teen. Important for senior citizens too as the house has 3 story worth of stairs.
Planning info:
Lower level: 2 twin beds, a partition, and a sofa bed. No bathroom on lower level. This floor has access to garage, pool, and extra full fridge. Garage had a car seat, beach chairs, and beach and pool toys galore! And, had a caddy to haul stuff to the beach! Yay!
Second floor: 3 bedrooms and laundry: huge master (playpen in closet), and 2 guest rooms, all rooms had their own bathrooms. No twin beds on this floor. Now has a new washing machine because the old one was not working properly.
Third floor (Very top): family room, kitchen and 2 more bedrooms: a bunk bed on this floor, and a playpen. The kitchen is fully stocked but needs a grater and/or garlic press. There is no garbage disposal. Beautiful relaxing views off the patio.
There are no screens on the windows and doors. AC worked wonderfully.
Sound system is very iffy, not all speakers work and not all areas. In the family room the TV can shut off on its own & audio can either disappear or throw a deafening clap. Be careful. Needs attention per techy guy in our group.
You only get small soap for toiletries, so make sure to pack/buy shampoo & conditioner etc. Walmart and Publix were a short 10 min drive.
Overall, a beautiful house with great potential for amazing family time! Note, beach access upon crossing the road is a bar scene, walk a little further for quieter beach if desired.
