Absolutely so fun!!! Amazing house in a great location and so many fun accommodations . The theme of the house was so cute and the top deck was lovely to view the fireworks from SeaWorld.

Plenty of space. Easy access to beach. Lots of games and beach equipment including bicycles. One bicycle needs repair...unable to use. Toilet on second floor needs handle repair. Blinds in kitchen not in good shape. Had a wonderful family experience. Very nice neighbor from Arizona. Oh yes...more forks needed!

I have very mixed feelings about this property. First of all, the location is absolutely amazing with ocean views from the top deck. There are also a lot of comfortable beds. There were, however, many things I didn’t like. It is so odd and confusing that I nicknamed it the “figure it out” house. After four days, I still never found the light switch for the master vanity nor did I figure out how to work the extremely outdated oven. I would normally contact the owner for help, but there were just so many things to figure out, I would have been asking every couple of minutes. The front door automatically locks behind you after 30 seconds. There is not a single window in the home that opens and many of the blinds are completely trashed. If you want to use the dinner table, you have to carry all the food up a flight of stairs from the kitchen. Lastly, I thought I’ve used cheap toilet paper before, but this was the absolute worst, cheapest toilet paper on the planet.
