"Nice home, great location. The distance to the private entrance on Spooky Lane was decent. Might be hard a really hot, sunny day for older folks or if you're taking a bunch of stuff, but get some bike..."

Nice home, great location. The distance to the private entrance on Spooky Lane was decent. Might be hard a really hot, sunny day for older folks or if you're taking a bunch of stuff, but get some bikes or rent a golf cart and you're set. There are a few restaurants also within walking distance or quick ride.I loved sitting out on the back deck that overlooked the lake, laden with lily pads. We saw a great white heron four mornings & some occasional deer. At night the frogs serenaded us--and one night the house across the lake (in a different neighborhood got pretty noisy (yelling and loud singing and music). But other than that, the neighborhood was pretty quiet and peaceful.The kitchen was well-stocked, offering lots of cooking utensils--pots and pans, bowls, dishes, plenty of glassware, etc. I love this because we do like to cook our breakfasts and most dinners during a long stay. I've been in places before that barely had pan to cook eggs. Really my only two suggestions: 1. Clean under the beds and nightstands. I dropped something on the floor by the bed and happened to catch a look under the bed--nasty with a thick layer of dust & dirt. Under the nightstand I found same, plus a crumpled receipt that wasn't mine.2. Add some more colorful decor/pictures. We had friends staying in a house a few doors down and it was so bright and beachy.

Our stay was great! The open living space was lovely, and the bedrooms were super comfy. It was mostly clean, though we found a bit of gunk on the staircase, some used soap in the showers, and a excess of sand in one of the beds (but hey, it's the beach!). The kitchen had everything we needed, but we had to buy extra toilet paper and dishwasher pods. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the beach was just a 10-minute walk away, depending on how much we were lugging!

The house was beautiful and the neighborhood quaint. The beach access was close enough to walk and not as crowded as public access points. The only downside was that the master bedroom is on the East side of the house, which means we were awake as soon as the sun came up. A bit of a bummer when you want to sleep in on vacation. But, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again if given the opportunity.

Our family loved this vacation. The house was beautiful and very clean. We rented bicycles to ride to the beach each day and to get coffee & ice cream. One evening when we were eating dinner on the back porch, we saw four deer come out of the woods on the other side of the pond. The neighborhood was very nice. My kids enjoyed the pools. Everything was convenient. We go to Florida each summer, and this may have been my favorite vacation. The owner was also quick replying to my two emails answering my questions before our vacation. I highly recommend staying here and would love to come back.
