The salted water pool was nice for the kids. The kitchen had more than enough utensils. The location is great for sightseeing and the beaches. While the place itself was fine, we found several of the host's house rules to be overly restrictive. There were notes all around the house about doing this and not doing that. It took away the feeling of staying at a house. The Central AC was controlled by the host. We tried lowering it. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. What threw us off was the requirement to wash and dry the towels and the linens. The check out time was 11 AM. We had to wake up really early to wash, dry and fold the linens and the towels. For the price tag, we were not expecting to do housework during the last day of the vacation.

The house was great except for a lot of stairs and not being able to lower the AC temperature to a more comfortable setting and limited towels and wash cloths and soap and bathroom tissues. Overall rating of 90 out of 100.

We had a wonderful stay! The pool and outdoor area was by far the favorite of our teenagers! The kitchen is fabulous, and we were able to all sit together for meals. The host was very quick to respond to any of our questions.

This is an older house that is well maintained. The deck and pool area is screened in, which helps keep the pool clean and the bugs out. There is a large kitchen and dining room so cooking meals and dining in is no problem. The beds were all comfortable. The homes in the area are all on large lots.
