There's nothing negative to say about this house, so I'll concentrate on the positive. It was spotlessly clean which, considering the cleaning fee charged, we expected.

It is impressively well appointed. Two generous bedrooms (one queen and one king), each with private bath (sufficient towels and linens), and a den outfitted with a good desk and a sofa. All rooms have a TV. Living room has a DVD player. All of the remotes are clearly labelled (i.e. how to set them for TV, Roku or DVD) but one of the remotes had been misplaced, causing quite a bit of confusion. I recommend that they provide a sheet summarizing the remotes one should expect to find and use.

The wifi worked well. There is plenty of seating everywhere (e.g. tables, sofas, chairs, stools, deck lounges). There is also ample available counter (baths and kitchen) and closet space. It doesn't look empty and it doesn't look cluttered either: artwork on the walls and on tables, display cases actually displaying things.

The kitchen contains everything one would expect of a rental in this price range: all appliances, including microwave, toaster, blender and coffee maker; lots of pots/pans; tons of dishes, flatware and drinkware (including large mugs). Cooking knives are adequate and there was even a corkscrew.

I chose this house primarily for its location and its pool. Neither disappointed. The pool was spotlessly clean, a delicious temperature (on the warm side, which is how I prefer it) and properly chemicalized (yes, I know that's not a word). It really is a ten minute drive to everything. Except for a weekend party house on the other side of the canal and perhaps a quarter of a mile upstream, it was VERY quiet.

Nice touches: BIG washer and dryer, fresh flowers on the table in the kitchen. Starter stuff included dish detergent, dishwasher pellets, soap pellets for the washer, sponge, paper towel, bar soap in the baths and toilet paper. The lights had bulbs with sufficient wattage (YAY!); I could actually see to read in bed.

Note that the house has two shower stalls, one very large, but no bathtub. If the garbage bins are in the garage, I recommend that you take them outside to minimize the opportunity for odors to seep into the house.

Area tips: We were at Jungle Hut beach every day. Small and relatively quiet (especially weekdays) with bath and shower facilities (no restaurants or bars). It was all we needed and we went to no other beach. Out of space; no more tips possible.
