Manage Your Expectations
Good: The house is near public beach access, within walking distance. There is easy access to the main road. The neighborhood was quiet with very little vehicle traffic, making it safe to walk. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean.
Bad: Upon our arrival, we found that there were no washcloths in any of the bathrooms. After searching and not finding any, I reached out to the host. Her response was,
“Hello Elizabeth! Good morning, we don’t provide wash clothes, I understand if this is important to you so I’m trying to send you a pack of washcloths but the sooner I can get them for you would be tomorrow, please feel free to buy some for your stay and send me the ticket, I’ll be happy to pay it for so you can have a comfortable stay ;)”
It may just be me (it’s not), but washcloths are BASIC linens. Even Motel 6 and Super 8 provide washcloths. To her credit, she did reimburse us for the cost of the washcloths.
The furniture in the main living/gathering area sits very low to the ground, making it very difficult to stand up from. It was also very uncomfortable once seated.
The most comfortable seating was a sofa located in the Florida room/enclosed patio. Unfortunately, the A/C unit in the wall did not work (outside temps were in the mid-to-high 90s, sooooo, there’s that).
For the money it cost us to rent this place, the overall experience was disappointing. We will not book this rental again.

Super helpful host!
Host was extremely quick to respond with recommendations on restaurants and things to do
In the area. Home has plenty of areas to separate yourself if you need privacy and a ping pong table for those rainy days.
