The neighborhood is clean, safe, and quiet. Although near the airport, we only heard the planes when we were outside. It was never bothersome. The house had everything you could want and then some. Very clean. A cleaning service was provided halfway through our 4-week stay, which we greatly appreciated. We had a few very minor problems that were immediately corrected by the owner. She could not have been more responsive. This is a great house for a dog, because of the lanai and the neighborhood. Several excellent restaurants and take-out places are within easy walking distance, so you don't need to worry about food ever. The pool is only heated by the sun, so not really warm enough to swim in Jan-Feb. The beach was a ten minute ride, as was most everything, very convenient location. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely return.
