Large house with lots of room to entertain as well as spread out for alone time. Beds are so comfy!
Two families and Grandpa stayed in this practically on the beach home. A very short walk to beach access was awesome. Closer than we were expecting! Great shelling, but we must have come during jelly season because a lot were on the beach and hardly anyone went into the water.
Groceries, liquor, etc. were all a short car/bike ride away on the island. Great food options, but GrubHub and Door Dashers left a lot to be desired.
Why not 5 stars?
1. The house is LOUD. The door hinges all need a good spray of WD40. The AC is on the roof (as expected), but it's loud. The fridge is big and great, but runs loud too.
2. The complimentary bikes were locked up. Just inconvenient to message property manager for the code. And the method of getting into the locked house was inconvenient (garage, then interior code instead of direct front door lock access).
3. The trash was full when we got there, but we didnt know it until a few days later. Per instructions we had to message the property manager who promised to get it picked up. It never was, so some trash had to stay in the house when we left.
4. Wish there were complimentary beach towels. We wouldnt want to waste suitcase space to pack them, and we felt bad at the possibility of just throwing them away at the end of our stay.
Overall all the above are minor, would definitely come back! It was Florida without the craziness of Florida.
