Very nice property
We had a great stay at this property. It was clean and very comfortable and spacious for our family of four. We really enjoyed the screened in porch for our morning breakfast and hanging out in the evening. There were a few small issues….2nd bath shower handle was very hard to turn, and there weren’t any laundry detergent or extra trash bags in the property. Would have been nice to have these little extras like we have had with other properties. Overall, it was a very nice house and we had a great time.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one
I could rant on the aggravation I experienced here for a while but I’ll keep it simple. This house is lipstick on a pig. Advertised dryer doesn’t work. Hot water is inconsistent and there’s a lot of wear and tear that is glossed over in the photos and description. On top of that, the owner/manager is unresponsive. With all the other options on HHI, save the frustration and just keep looking.

Exactly as Advertised!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything in the home was exactly as described. This property is directly next to the swimming pool -- very convenient. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The home is modern, clean, and was actually more spacious than it appeared in photos.
It is a short drive to the beach in Shipyard. (The beach is too far to walk.) The rental comes with a beach parking pass. We went to the beach each day we stayed and only had to park in the overflow parking once when arriving at 2 PM (peak time). When we arrived earlier in the day or later in the day, parking up close was no problem. There is a golf cart to bring you to the beach from overflow parking if you time it right. The beach itself is perfect. Couldn't ask for a better beach!
We loved walking the paths around the ponds in Shipyard spotting alligators. We were safe and kept our distance, of course. Not being from this area, we found this a treat to view these beautiful creatures. Shipyard itself is very peaceful and quiet. Many families and bicycles. There is a gate with a staff member who will check your parking pass each time you enter the property. It did take some time to learn our way around as it all looked the same at first. By the third day, we had the streets figured out.
This is a five star property for us. We would not hesitate to book it again. There are a few things I will mention just to state it so future guests can make the best choice for their family.
*The sunroom is fantastic, and we loved it. We had all of our meals out there, and the kids would curl up on the couch at night and watch movies. However, do be aware that it is not air conditioned.
*The third bedroom with the double bed and twin bed have very thin mattresses. You can feel the bed frame through the mattress. Kids sleep well anywhere, so it wasn't an issue for them. I wouldn't have wanted to sleep there as an adult.
*You can hear pool noise from the home during the day. Again, we have kids and sometimes, it was our kids making the pool noise, so it wasn't an issue. Be aware of the close pool proximity if you are a daytime napper or don't want to hear kids.
*The house is stocked only with starter supplies (as it does say in the description). If you are here for 3+ days, you'll need to pick up tp, shampoo, etc. The kitchen is stocked with basic supplies. Nothing beyond that. There are no beach toys or other beach supplies.
*The dining room chairs are bar height.

Beautiful Home!
This rental home was even more beautiful in person. The layout was ideal. The biggest attraction for us was the huge screened in porch that included both a dining area, and a sitting area with couch and chairs. The recent remodel lives up to the hype - bathrooms and kitchen were top notch. Small improvements include having a dish pan to wash pans in, and replace all the cheap plastic glassware with regular glass for drinking beverages and wine. The fire table was out of propane. Some of the ceiling fans/lights did not work. It is one of the most attractive places we have stayed at in Shipyard and we loved the location. Would definitely return!

Wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend
This house was a total delight for six of us, all adult family, who stayed for five nights over the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. The house is completely up to date, with a great kitchen, wonderful living and bedroom spaces, and a fantastic porch. We loved everything about this little vacation home. Minutes to the beach by bike, and beautiful surrounding lagoon is fun to watch birds. It is definitely a "happy place".
