Overall, we had a great stay! The place was as described! Tons of room, huge kitchen, lots of TVs. We are incredibly low maintenance and are basically pleased with a clean, warm bed and a place that allows our dog. We were bummed that the dog was not allowed on any of the furniture and spent a lot of the time on the floor/screened in porch with her haha.
The host was communicative and responsive. He was prompt to respond with an issue we had with the smoke detector and the pool code.
My biggest issue with the location is that I was unprepared for how remote the area is. I was looking for somewhere less traveled and it is definitely that. I do not mean this as a negative to the host or house, simply a warning to someone traveling with small kids. The tall grass trails leading to the beach are teeming with wildlife and we were greeted by a cottonmouth on one of our trips down. Now, I’m from the sticks in Kentucky, so critters do not normally scare me, but I was thankful that the two youngest kids were not with us because they would have definitely been excitedly leading the way and met the snake first. Additionally, this area has black bears and alligators. Pretty awesome, but might be something to consider when traveling with dogs and kids.
The beach is great but not necessarily the type for lounging and having kids playing on. A ton of natural vegetation and critters. Again, not a negative overall! Just something to consider when visiting. 😊
