The place could use a little TLC. As mentioned in other reviews, the carpet is heavily stained, screens are ripped on the patio, and the bathroom and bedroom doors are difficult to open and close. However, aside from the carpet stains, it was clean and had all the basics covered. We brought our boat and used the dedicated dock. At night, we boated to the Freezer (in the next canal over) and to the Monkey Bar, about 3-5 minutes away at idle speed. We didn't have any problems, and did not need to communicate with the owner; all the info we needed was in the instructions. It is a great location, and we would rent there again, though it would be nice if some of the maintenance items were addressed.
