The beach access is far from the house in my opinion. Even if you drive a golf cart down there is no parking at your private access. Still have to walk a good bit and carry all your items. When taking kids that’s a lot of items! Kitchen was not stocked well with silverware. Some nights we would have to wash a fork when someone was down for another to use it. Our occupancy was 8. Getting in and out of the gates to the house was a pain. The driveway only fit two cars comfortably. We had to squish the cars in and still hung on the sidewalk some. Which is not allowed. We had two small cars and one small suv. Even if you rent the golf cart you have to pull all the cars in and out all day to be able to park it in the garage. We had an issue with the golf cart. Which happens! After the hassle of even using it just the one day we decided to get our money back. No where else to park it but in the garage. And no way in the garage without moving cars. Cars are not allowed in the garage. The air went out in the house for a day in a half and was fixed as promptly as could be. Things happen. But, this house was not convenient for our family at all.
