Very nice place! Loved it

We had a great time at the dock of the bay. Great location and beautiful views. We enjoyed fishing and swimming. Beds were comfortable and the view from living room was exceptional. Dock area was large and very well lit which was great. The pool and lawn maintenance overall could be improved. With that being said we all enjoyed ourselves and we will be back again

Let me start by saying while we enjoyed our time in the house there were a few things that could have been improved on. The first thing we saw upon entering the house was part of a recliner not being able to close due to damage. Next is the first bathroom was an issue. The tank cover was upside down and backward. Tank wasn't filling. My husband discovered the water had been shut off. He turned it on but it was a slow dribble so he turned it back off. It left us with one toilet for 6 people. I called the number given and reported the problem but never saw any worker or repair.Instructions for the security system should have been left so those of us who have never used one could properly use it. Always the 3 remotes for one tv could have had Instructions or labels.We also noticed a bee or wasp nest on the side of the house. No knowledge of trash pick up means the trash cans outside were full when we arrived. There were also cosmetic items that need attention. Walking up to the stairs where is a huge opening with insulation hanging out. The frame inside the front door needs repaired/painting. Also a bundle of wire coming out of the ceiling. Curtains in bedrooms didn't cover windows or move to open and exit onto the balcony. Outside lights, by pool didn't work or we couldn't find a switch. The solar lights on stairs didn't work and soAgain we did enjoy the house with the fabulous view and comfortable beds. Would I rent the house again, not unless all issues were resolved.

Overall day was good and location was good for fishing and watching beautiful sunsets. The weather was not great so we did not use the pool. The house needs some work, and needs to be exterminated. I don’t think it is worth the money that they charge. The pier lights did not, other than under the boat slip. One of the faucets in the master bath did not work. Upon arriving, while unloading, I noticed the ceiling was cut out, and there was pipes exposed under the master bath. I saw a couple of roaches in the kitchen, along with ants. The lockbox was a little bit confusing. There is a lock box at the bottom of the stairs, but that is not the one with the keys. I spent several minutes trying to get it open, only to realize after further inspection, that the lockbox containing the keys, was further up the stairs.
