For the first time we planned a month-long vacation and we spent it at Shell Point in this home. We had such a nice time! Barry's home is an older mobile home. He has completed many upgrades and improvements. We found it to be clean inside, spacious and the furniture and beds quite comfortable. We had read the reviews prior to our booking and arriving, noting most were very complimentary. One person complained about the beds. My husband and I both have had back issues and we sleep on a thick, hybrid mattress on an adjustable bed at home so I had some concerns about spending a month away from our own bed! I needn't have worried. The beds were very comfortable. The pillows were also fine - not high end; but comfortable. Linens good quality. Both bathrooms have been done over. The showers have great pressure (I'm picky when having to wash my hair!). There is shelving for your own bath items and overall plenty of room. The towels seemed newer and of very good quality.
I had also read a review from just prior to our arrival regarding the age of the kitchen and its cleanliness. I found the kitchen to be overall clean - a couple of more hidden spots needed attention and I communicated that to Barry who was always highly responsive. The description includes a coffee maker. But there is also a Keurig that we liked even more! Pots and pans were in good condition and various sizes. I did purchase some stemless wine/multipurpose glasses, a larger size non-stick fry pan, a double set of covered mixing/storage bowls and a small set of sharper knives. If we were only staying a week or so I would have made do with the plentiful dishes and cookware already there; but for a month I felt we would need these. I communicated the purchases to Barry just as an FYI. I did not expect to be reimbursed but he did so anyway!
Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved the screened porch! On windy days or between trips to the pool or beach we would sit out there, sometimes watch TV on this porch and just relax!
We are so appreciative of being able to bring our dog. He spent so much time out on that porch too! Loved just sitting and people, fish and animal watching!
Another feature we made the most of was the dock as we brought our 17.5" fishing boat down. My husband loved exploring the canals fishing and we so enjoyed sunset cruises!
We used the golf carts for trips to the beach or pool and so appreciated not only the carts; but also the beach chairs!
