This stay was booked months ahead of initial stay, I explained in detail what the purpose of renting this home consisted of. The owner Jeff was VERY helpful although durning the short stay of 3 days I feel we spent quite a bit of time on the phone back and forth trying to get information for issues with the home. The first being given the wrong address and pulling up in front of somebodies house in the dead of night. After arriving at the correct home with Jeff on the phone with us we made it into the house and found that the back yard was completely pitch black dark with no outdoor sitting area available due to hurricane Matthew, the whole patio awning, lighting and tv area were dismantled, fans/lighting were removed and the canvas was left hanging/dirty from the frame. This area was a big deal to us due to the visiting family coming over and wanting that extra entertaining area. I totally understand the repair backup due to the storm but would have appreciated a heads up to what we walked into! The fire pit area was not as the photo showed but pretty run down with chairs knocked over and the area completely overgrown.

There is not a rental guide book available anywhere so there was a lot of guess work on how to leave the rental, where things are located, how to run the pool/spa area etc....without calling Jeff the owner. We had enough guys in our group that were able to pull the patio canvas in place after crawling up on top of the framing, we asked permission prior to doing this, I was really hoping that Jeff would have offered us a small cut in rent due to the help we gave him but this did not happen. The rental is very nice although the chocolate leather furniture as advertised is actually not in such great shape, the leather/material is literally falling apart. This home is chalk full of kids toys and accessories so if you have younger kids this place is like a disneyland for them. We were unable to figure out the child proof fencing that is supposed to wrap around the pool, so take caution with little ones around the pool area ! The location is very nice and close to the beach. A nice rental for families with little kids, just be prepared for the beautiful online photos not totally matching up to the actual home! An added note: the owner did have a couple handymen come over and repair the canvas and fans/ landscape people that mowed and blew quite loudly on our last day/why not prior to our arrival?
