The pet area was perfect, our little dog was safe and happy and there was just enough area for her to run around in the fenced patio area. It was also a wonderful spot for my husband and me to sit and relax while the kids/teens were comfortable inside. The house was clean and comfortable, and smelled and felt great. The smell of a place is important to me, and here, though it smelled clean and fresh, there was no overpowering smell of cleaner or air freshener to aggravate our allergies. Even though this is a densely populated neighborhood, it was super quiet and peaceful, even sitting outside on the little patio. The beds were comfy, and the pillows were perfect - not just for show, they were actually comfy! Beckie had the kitchen stocked with bottled water, coffee and creamers, and even made a special effort to welcome and say happy birthday to my youngest, who was very impressed that "the lady knew my favorite candy!" The furniture had USB ports downstairs and upstairs so we never had to worry about where to charge our devices. It's a small thing because most people have charging cubes, but it was so nice to be able to just plug into the table or the bedside lamp instead of searching for a wall plug and possibly moving furniture to find one. I feel so lucky that we found such a great weekend stay for such a low price. Thank you so much, Beckie! You will be our "go-to" whenever we are in the Ft. Walton area from now on.
