Comforts of home
My husband and I got to experience our first trial of snow birding which we just completed from mid January to mid March in this nice residential home. The pictures were legit. We had all the comforts of home with a bonus of a pool. As needs arose such as the coffee pot biting the dust, the management company was always quick to respond with that and propane for the grill and fire table when it went empty. We appreciated that the king bed was super comfortable as was the huge sectional. We also were pleased that the tvs offered all the apps we are used to. We enjoyed the morning walks in the neighborhood and surrounding. Our mini poodle loved the big fenced in back yard where she chased lil salamanders here and there. We got to use all the quality beach equipment quite a few times. We were close to everything we needed especially the airport which was a God send as my husband flew back and forth to keep our Ohio business running.
