Suited our needs, especially having two bathrooms! The bbq was an added bonus as we enjoyed grilling twice. Amenities were as stated.Unfortunately, the AC was inoperable…was “frozen” and did not cool house. Owner was prompt in trying to address problem and offered fans, but fans in Florida just move hot air around. Tech arrived to repair, but we already had two out of three nights of uncomfortable sleep…too bad! Temps were not in 90s nor too humid otherwise we could not have remained.Cute house overall and close to beach. Yard could use some TLC to make it more appealing/ useable.
