Wow- on every level this property and owner Chris exceeded our expectations! The house was immaculate and filled with every amenity and goodie. No butler, but who needed one when everything was so fabulous! The bedrooms were nicely furnished with comfy beds and nice quality linens. The bathrooms were spotless and had hand soap and plenty of towels. For those of you new to VRBO, this is not usually the case. The sofa bed on GF was comfortable for my 6'5" 325 17 y/o to sleep in, cheerfully! Each bedroom and the family rooms - yes, rooms- had big smart tvs which were user friendly. The kitchen was very well equipped- did I mention my partner is a French chef? We cooked a ton of meals in the house and found the kitchen equipped with nearly everything we needed. I say "nearly everything" only bc we were traveling with my giant son along with two serious athletes in their early 20s, my adult daughter, and then my squeeze and I. In an ideal world, a large stock pot to boil pasta, etc. would be nice but we were able to make it work just fine with complete set of cookware provided. Note- really nice quality- and we are picky about cookware (see French chef above...)
The hosts provide a deck of cards and some games for our enjoyment which was nice. I forgot to bring the Rummikub for our trip. Ordered one from Amazon, who because the house is so new (like still super sparkly) jerked me around for 5 days. I hope that the game arrived sometime after we left for the next guests to enjoy. I mention Amazon and the delivery issue in case you forget your Scrabble game...
The outdoor goodies provided were such a treat! It was so nice to not have to pack beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach cooler (and sand toys). Never used the wagons BC our guys were too cool, but it's there. The kayaks and paddleboards were a huge hit and a ton of fun. (life jackets inc.). Intercoastal and beach are super close. Outdoor shower is great, spigots on side of house and outside front door were clutch! Owner provided garage access via app and clicker, door locked w/ code all handy for extra adults. Laundry is huge with new huge W/D. Hosts gave dish and laundry pods to last the week- nice touch! Didn't try cornhole/firepit but look nice. Can't wait to come back! Best VRBO ever for us!
