We enjoyed our stay at Tropic Like it’s Hot. We had four couples with teens. There was plenty of room. The home was located in great area. It’s just steps from the beach. It was very clean. The teens enjoyed the pool which can be heated or not. We had problems with the AC but luckily it didn’t get real hot before maintenance visited. The following day the breaker tripped upstairs but maintenance came immediately and fixed it. We will definitely come back and stay at Tripic Like it’s Hot.

Gulf Coast 70.3 trip
We came in for the half Ironman, the house is right next to both sides of run course and the end of the bike leg. It was very convenient to all things we needed (food, groceries etc) and it was nice to relax by the pool! Overall very happy with the house and its location

Overall good place to stay.
We liked the location. Was short walk to a great beach. We had 13 people so size was good. The bunk room and living room upstairs is great for kids, but probably kids 10 and under. Bunks were twins and room is small. All 4 bathrooms are nice size and adult bedrooms had great beds.
The property has definitely experienced some wear for being 'new'. Pictures are a bit misleading when it comes to size of living rooms and pool so some creative (smart) photography happening there.
Appliances are old and take a long time to do their job (washer/dryer and dishwasher). We had to call for ice maker and washer/dryer to be serviced. Internet (WiFi) did not work the entire time we were there. There was definitely not enough silverware, glasses, dishes, cooking pots/pans for a group of 13. We had to request them. Also not a lot of towels and rags supplied for showers or in the kitchen. We had to request them. The cleaning crew missed some areas in the bunk room and there were ants on food/crumbs under the beds that we cleaned up when we arrived. Property and landscaping could use a little TLC.
With that said, we did have a great time and the A/C worked great and it was nice having a small pool in back (although in July, it was very warm) but that is to be expected.

Vacation 2023
The house was dirty, and ants in every room. The stove and oven were so dirty we couldn’t cook. The pool was dirty our entire stay. The walls are dirty and have places where sheet rock was fixed but never finished. It worth the price for sure, in my opinion.

Vacation
Upon on arrival, the inside of the house had not been cleaned as it should have been. There was rice still in the cabinets, the floors had not been cleaned, maybe only swept. The pool was dirty.
Other than that I really enjoyed our house. It was fairly quiet except another family moved in next door and played very loud music. It was not rented by the same company so the only thing we could do was call non-emergency police line and notify but we just left it alone.

Spacious modern house with some issues
House was modern, clean, and well suited for large groups. It is difficult to use for remote work because it has very slow WiFi (Hughesnet satellite) with slow downloads and uploads which couldn't even be measured. The pool may be useable in warm weather but isn't heated (and in fairness wasn't advertised as such). And the house immediately next door is apparently rented by the day and had several very large groups during our one-week stay. They partied all night (3-4 am) and ran around all the adjacent properties.
