The housekeeper, Lovee, was from the "resort" across the street, she was watching TV, the Simpsons to be exact, when we arrived at 3pm. I mistakenly thought check in was 3pm, it was 4 pm. She shut the door in my face and told me to come back at 4pm. When we returned at 4pm she was still watching TV and was bold enough to leave an envelope for a tip. She arrived on our departure day at 10am, my contract said check out was 11am, and told me that "the next guests are here and you need to leave." I went to the office at the "resort" across the street who was very nice and agreeable. She stated that we could leave by 11am and apologized for Lovee's behavior.
The house itself was ok. The toilet in the master bath doesn't flush right, the dishwasher was super loud. The beds are ok. The décor was ok. And --- the yard was full of weeds and stickers. Walking 'across the street' to the "resort" and the beach was easy enough. However, the pictures seemed to suggest to us that the pergola, hammock, grill, etc is in the back yard when it is actually a picture of the 'resort' across the street. I use quotes in referring to 'resort' because there is an old kettle type grill and another grill that is similar to one you purchase at Walmart. The beach is well groomed, if you don't mind the earth mover and trucks going back and forth moving large pipes - watch your children.
I have rented houses from VRBO and Home Away several times and usually the house has a notebook or some kind of info on the house, local restaurants, etc. Not here.
We did our usual housekeeping before we left, took out the trash, started the dishwasher, stripped the beds and swept the floor.
Rating the house itself - 3 stars
Rating the interaction with staff - minus 3 stars
Rating the accuracy of the pictures you see - 2 stars (FYI there were no pictures of the actual house on the website when I booked. That's why I thought the outdoor pics were associated with the house itself.)
I would recommend the house itself if you don't mind walking across a very busy street to get to the beach.
The house is about a mile from shopping and restaurants.
I, however, will be looking at different properties next time we come to Florida.
