Family-friendly, Pier On Intercoastal Waterway, Large Screened-in Porch

We had a great family vacation. The property was big enough. Loved the pier for those who fished. Hot tub was nice touch especially for the achy bones on the morning.

This is an amazing property, beautifully maintained and well equipped for a family. Awesome kitchen and game room. Definitely a must stay. The hosts were extremely helpful and made sure we had a nice vacation. Definitely booking again. One of the best experiences we have had in this area.

House was as advertised. Great location, wonderful fishing right off the dock. Water was is no-wake at this point so it's a great place to bring a boat and tie up. Owners were responsive, though they had repairs and services to be made while we were at the facility and those were interruptions and/or threats to interrupt privacy that one expects when vacationing. Communicate with them prior to check-in to ensure you know if and when they expect people at the house while you are there. They definitely did their best to make sure the experience was great.

I am writing this review with mixed feelings. Overall my family enjoyed our vacation. The house is attractive. The owner’s son was pleasant; but I was disappointed by the owner's lack of concern for things that were important to my family. On Saturday, I sent a text about a broken toilet seat/elevator/fan/light. The handyman came Monday; fixed the seat on toilet #1 and handle on toilet #2 but said that water might keep running since a part was needed; the other broken items required approval by the owner. The handyman never came back & the toilet kept running. Later, an elevator repairman came. After he left, the elevator still did not work. I sent another text explaining that a family member was disabled & had difficulty with stairs (I didn’t think I had to mention my 77-year-old mother & my sister-in-law with bad knees would also need a working elevator). Another repairman came on Wednesday. This repairman said the elevator manufacturer went out of business; to fix it would be very expensive. After he left, the elevator still did not work. I sent another text to the owner’s son. The elevator remained broken our entire stay. My ailing family members had to painfully climb stairs to participate in this long awaited and possibly only family reunion. One evening the refrigerator was 59 degrees. We quickly rushed the food to the refrigerator in the garage & wondered if everything had spoiled. I read in the owner’s notebook that the refrigerator would not stay cold if overfilled. We did not overfill. I did not bother reporting the faulty refrigerator since the owner apparently already knew. After our vacation, I sent an email to the owner describing our disappointment. He replied NOT with an apology or an offer for a refund; rather he accused us of having 8 additional people (as reported by neighbors), which is completely untrue. If the owner would have greeted us, done a walk-thru or stopped by to see if everything was OK, he would have seen that we had not exceeded the number of people that was discussed. If you will have elderly or disabled guests, be warned that if the elevator remains broken, there is no way to get to the main living area except by the use of stairs. Read an earlier review by renter who commented that the elevator was broken during their stay. I wish the owner would think more about his renters & warn of the broken elevator since families like mine might count on it & he should replace the refrigerator before someone gets sick.
