The house back when it was built must have been fabulous in the 90's for it needs a gob of tlc for what it commands in an evening rental, especially when you can only heat the "heated pool, by using hot tub", by the second to the last day pool was "tolerable to get into" without doing a "polar plunge". Stayed in the rental Dec 21-29. and needed the full stay to warm the pool by using hot tub for the heater, as directed by the property manager. Carpeting: disgusting dirty, was told its cleaned 2x a year but at the level of dirt and puke staining in bedroom/family room areas made me question. Chipped, peeling paint in many rooms. The house def needs a freshening. This isn't "my first big house w pool rental" and was "one of the worst" for the buck. Now the house's location on the beach, beautiful. How the house was seated on its' lot, that was beautiful too. Restaurants in the local area were "good food" did some breakfast and dinner places. Not too far from stores, parks and the like. Uber allowed some to get to and from airport. This would be a fantastic piece of property of rental if it was refreshed, bug control used and a bit more or the "rug cleaning"...my socks were black within minutes each day, so it's either the tile floors or the carpeting. When we arrived "old guests" stockpiles of shells and what not were left by the pool area and then on the deck by the Gulf of Mexico. Bring EVERYTHING for this is a "minimalist place", make sure to bring everything.

We enjoyed our stay and Andrew was an amazing host. He responded to any issues promptly and communication was 5 star.

We wanted to get away for my mothers 81st Birthday and this was the prefect choice for a beach gateway. The house is big enough for for a family of eight. It is very peaceful and loved that the beach is right there. We hope we can come back soon. Thank you Andrew.

Andrew was the property manager. He helped make our stay so special. I want to send a special blessing his way. He took care of everything we needed and was helpful with every question we had. This home is spacious and beautiful. If you are looking for a home share with your most precious loved ones, this is the place.

What a wonderful stay our family had at this beautiful beach house. Right on a fantastic beach with a swimming pool, large house had plenty of room for everyone. We grilled out on the patio, overlooking the beach. Collected seashells, watched the sunset with beautiful colors. Our host Andrew was great. Also a great cleaning lady, Shelly. We hated to leave. But are already making plans for another stay.

Hard to find property in main road as driveway is not paved. Property is gated in front. Property is older home with plenty of areas to renovate and replace. Expected more modern appliances and newer more comfortable beds for price per night we paid. Cockroaches were noted on kitchen cabinets so learned hard way not to leave pizza box with pizza on counter at room temperature. Lizards were in upstairs room on carpets and downstairs, some dried up. Enjoyed a close stay to beach with direct access to sand in backyard but I was expecting more bang for the buck with this rental.

Pro: Location. Cons: House is ill-maintained and surface “cleaned” when it is apparently clear upon entering that the house needs a good deep cleaning, as well as some repairs/updates. Below are the significant things we found during our brief stay. Roaches and Ants found throughout house. Hot tub did not heat up. Pool dirty; did not filter properly. Pool lights did not work. Had to request 11 lightbulbs for inoperable outside/patio lighting. Stained towels and bedsheets. Carpets extremely stained and worn. Kitchen was dirty. Stale pieces of bread left in cabinets. Hand Soap bottles in bathrooms refilled with water. Alcohol cans left in beach chairs from prior guests. With such a beautiful location, it is a shame the house is not well-kept, warm or inviting. I understand not putting a lot of money into a rental but this was just too far below basic standards and general upkeep. I wish this property the best and am still thankful for the stay.

I could not get the dishwasher to work, therefore the dishes did not get cleaned. There was no hair dryer. May I suggest trimming the grass in the back so that the ocean is visible from inside. Also, have a rake accessible to clean the beach area from dried seaweed and such. We did enjoy our stay very much.
