We had 4 21 year old girls and 2 26 year olds with my husband and me on this trip. We had no internet service for 5 days and hardly missed it! The landlord had games, DVDs, and books galore at the rental house. The landlord had really fast fiber optic internet service installed while we were still there so that should not be an issue for anyone else. Being on the bayside was wonderful because there were red flags on the gulfside on 6 of the 7 days we were there. We saw dolphins while we were in the water. There were lots of fish jumping right out of the water also. There’s also an oyster farm right out in the bay, which was really neat.

Home is in a great location. We enjoyed being able to alternate going to to bay or beach side. Lots of games available to play, kayaks to borrow, and roll a way beds. Sleeping arrangements accommodated our large family well. We had an issue with one shower having lots of mold and mildew but the washing machine was the biggest concern. The towels all smelled really bad when they became damp. This is probably because the door on the front loading machine wasn’t left open. We didn’t feel comfortable washing laundry in the machine with the mold all along the inside seal of the washer. The owners were quick to respond and sent someone to clean the shower and the standing water in the washing machine between the seal and tub; however, the mold couldn’t be removed without replacing the inside seal. This didn’t occur before we left so we weren’t able to wash anything. A washing machine/dryer is a big must for our large family when traveling on vacation so this was a disappointment. The owners are very responsive and did get the initial concerns addressed 3 days into our week long stay but that still didn’t allow us to wash laundry since the necessary repair wasn’t done. Other cleanliness issues included mold under the rims of sinks and in the kitchen sprayer as well as dirty skillets in cabinets. The pots/pans are needing replaced so they are difficult to clean when non stick coating has been scratched up. The home is in a nice location and maintained but housekeeping needs addressed

We enjoyed our stay at the Czech Mate! The house was clean and comfortable, we had close access to the gulf and bay, and the west end beach. Very quiet and calm.

We enjoyed the house and everything that was available. Only downside was due to the storm the road flooded and we couldn’t get out for several hours.

I can’t say enough great things about this location. The house was even nicer than the pictures. It was so easy to walk to either beach and made for a great vacation for our family. We typically went to the gulf side in the mornings and the sound side in the evenings to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. There were plenty of beach towels and bathroom towels. The beds were comfortable and the setup was great for our family. We also enjoyed the selection of board games. I can’t say enough great things! 10/10 recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful week at Czechmate. The pictures certainly didnt do justice to the property. The house was perfect with amazing views. The front and back porches were larger than anticipated. Communication with Joe and Cosette was so easy and they were quick to reply about check-in and all other info. Although, except for a couple quick messages to locate items, we didn't speak because the house was so well outfitted. We definitely look forward to returning to the island in general and Czechmate, specifically!
