Nice home. Only one TV tho. None in the bdrms. Would've liked that. Has beach chairs but they are old and not in good shape. Lots of towels and beach towels. All in all a good place.

Quiet neighborhood beautifully landscaped
This is a great place for relatively short stays. We found that oven cooking utensils were lacking and the mattresses on all three beds were either lumpy, sagging or too hard for our 3 month stay. We and our family tried all of the bedsThe location is good and the neighborhood is quiet.

Our stay was excellent!
The property was everything the listing stated it was and more. This home was perfect for the 6 of us to stay at, ages ranging from 14-78. It’s close to everything and the beaches alike. Highly recommended

Nice getaway
This is a very nice and clean house. We were pleased with everything and have no complaints! However, a few things that you didn’t have that WE would have found beneficial include: 1)Have a TV in the master bedroom 2) Include a couple of lounger chairs for the back patio. 3) A full length mirror would have been very nice for a final check before our evening events. ;)
We would definitely recommend this house and will rent it again on our next trip to FL!
