Great house! Loved waking up to dolphins. Stairs to beach were a little rough. Sofas and chairs were very comfy. Beds were very stiff. Not used to that is all. There was lots of extras in the kitchen! The only thing I would say is it was very small and hard to cook for 20 people without being in each other’s way constantly!

Great house in a great location. Double refrigerators and dishwashers were so helpful. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and utensils. Comforters and bedding could use an update.

perfect house with amazing view

Perfect house for us with an amazing view. Loved the main floor and the elevator came in handy for older members in the group. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs. We did a lot of cooking. Loved having two refrigerators! One of the dishwashers was not able to be used. We got by! Main rooms furnishings were perfect. Most bedding was comfortable. Being the end of the season a few bedspreads needed to be repaired. Decking game room grills pool area were well used and enjoyed. Location to the pier shopping restaurants was wonderful. Beach was perfect. We are coming back next year!

Bedrooms and living space was just what we needed! The kitchen had everything we needed! Our only complaint is the pool light did not work and the previous people didn’t take the trash to to curb which caused us to have an overflow of trash.
