First, I will say that communication between the property host is great. Easy to check in and check out. However, the description does NOT match what you actually get. I would not describe the house as luxurious or elegant. It is cute and nestled into a jungle type feel with all of the plants surrounding the property. But once inside there is a moldy scent that they tried to cover up with plug ins everywhere. The walls are covered in marks which I dismissed at first thinking it was just marks however upon further examination the walls aren't only marked up but dirty in areas. There is a water spot on the ceiling above the bar/counter area. The oversized kitchen is the only accurate description but this is not a chefs dream. It lacks a lot of basic cooking needs and most of the dishes like plates, glasses utensils are mismatched etc. A few of the basic cooking items needed were not there and it made it difficult to make even the easiest of meals. The bedrooms were fine but the comforter in the master bedroom was visibly dirty, I don't think it had been washed in awhile and the shower has a screw in the drain sticking up that I had to make sure I didn't step on for fear it would slice my foot. The beds are rock hard. When we went outside onto the deck area to view the pool below we couldn't even go down the stairs without dodging huge spider webs. My husband had to find a broom stick to remove them all. The pool was really cold. Overall, I would not recommend.

Parking was good. Check-in easy. Neighborhood is great and 15” from beach depending on traffic.. Layout was good, sleeping situation as described. Kitchen was disappointing as it was not adequately equipped for even basic meal prep. The area by the garage was Covered in plywood very unsightly. We could not determine what the strange smell outside was, either coming from under the house or the area behind the house .?Had asked for pool heater to remain on and yet it was not and had to be restarted resulting in cold pool, While those in the neighborhood had water warm enough to swim.This was our first VRBO rental. Standards There was a Toaster oven, but no toaster, even after 3 communications . No complimentary starter pack of coffee found in economy hotels.

Pool was disappointing, cold even after heat was turned on. One of the reasons we selected the house. Kitchen wasn’t stocked with as much cookware as we’ve experienced in previously rented homes. It was clean, in a great neighborhood.

Excellent house, wonderful large pool, bright and clean home, good parking, everything worked perfectly, the air conditioner kept the place cool. The location is great—only about a mile and a half from Target, Walmart, and other stores, as well as close to the beaches. I definitely recommend this property! Check-in and check-out were very easy and smooth. I highly recommend it and plan to return to this home next year.

Friends get-away
It was a good location, close to stores. The pool is very nice. The home is nice but a little outdated. The kitchen is large and spacious for many to occupy. The downfall was, we were a group of 6 adults and ran out of some essential paper supplies. When I asked for more supplies I was told that "Gulf Coast properties are "self-catering accommodations". I never heard of this before & wasn't sure if that was mentioned in the description on VRBO, however, once you run out of the starter set they give you, it's the guest's responsibility to replenish them during their stay. Myself and my guests weren't too happy. Other than that, the house was ok. We will not be returning.

Pleasant vacation
My wife and I stayed for a total of four nights. The property is located in a really nice and safe area, close to just about anything and everything you could possibly want. The house is very spacious and appeared sorta stark. It's clearly used as just a rental. Nothing on the walls, extremely uncomfortable living room furniture and the master bed was like sleeping on a park bench. The pool was really nice, and plenty of deck chairs to relax in. Both the house and kitchen were nicely supplied. Drawback...would have to be the cleanliness of the property. Excellent communications with management.We are considering returning in late summer.

great place to stay
We had a great stay . Check is was easy. The place is very clean and well stocked although I would suggest maybe more trash bags, especially for a three day stay there was only one television in the entire home just an fyi for anyone who has smaller children I would highly recommend the grill being replaced other than that I have no complaints. the pool was great and the beds were very comfortable
