I had not rented a property before an I was quite anxious about paying ahead of time, but there is no need to worry here. Everything worked like clockwork. We had local contacts for help if needed! The pool is absolutely fantastic...perfect temperature. We swam all day, all week. The living room furniture is super comfortable there is a "great room" open concept kitchen, livingroom and dining area. The backyard is very tropical and there is an amazing swing to sit in that elevates your feet (like a reclining chair) and is right on the edge of the bay. The only thing to note is that the rental contract states that you can't turn the thermostat lower than 75 degrees...it got very hot at night, especially upstairs and you can't turn it to be cooler, according to the rental agreement. It was not a game changer for us, but unused to such a warm house at night, it was a bit uncomfortable. I consider this place to be a very nice value for money and definately worth the money...it made for a lovely week for the family. I would check the house before buying supplies, as people may have left things that you can use (Saran wrap, gabage bags, napkins, etc.). They have a lot for you to use, such as beach towels, blankets, laundry detergent, etc. You really can come with only a few things packed! The pool also has a super shallow end, so if you have toddlers, you could have them spash around in it safely(as long as you guarded the drop off). Really the nicest pool I have been in. Hot tub was fantastic as well.
