Overall, this was a great house for my family.

I wish they had a welcome binder with area attractions and restaurants for people staying in the house to reference if they'd like to go out to eat, or different area attractions to check out and popular nearby beaches. Noticed the pool light was not working within the first two days and sent a message about it. Nobody ever came out to look at it or fix it, but they asked a few days later if someone had fixed it… then said they'd put in a maintenance request. The AC fan wasn't blowing properly one day when we got home, and they gave me instructions how to trouble shoot it when they could have had someone come look at it. They have pretty prompt response time to messages, but their action to correct issues needs major work IMO… especially when guests are in their home raising issues to them, rather than making them feel ignored and not important.

Worked great for our family's needs

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, spacious, and worked great for our needs. The open floor plan gave our family plenty of room to spread out, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. A few maintenance items kept this from being a five-star stay. Several of the pots and pans need replacing. The lanai had not been cleaned before our arrival, so we had to hose it down and sweep it before we could enjoy the pool. The outdoor grill was also unusable. The grease pan had fallen off, leaving grease all over the lanai, and the grill was extremely dirty. We reported it to Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals, but they explained the grill is not maintained by the management company and is provided as a courtesy and is used at guests' own risk. With better attention to the outdoor area and updated cookware, and an outdoor grill that was usable, this would easily be a five-star review.

We had a great stay at this home.

The layout worked perfectly for our group, which included my family, my sister, and my parents, and it gave us plenty of space to spend time together without feeling crowded. The pool and pool table were big highlights for us. They kept everyone entertained and made it easy to relax and enjoy the house without needing to go out all the time. There was also lots of seating both inside and outside, which made it easy for everyone to gather, hang out, and enjoy the space. The hosts were very responsive. Anytime we had a question or needed something, we received a quick reply by text and any small issues were handled right away. That made the whole stay feel easy and stress-free. Everything was comfortable and functional, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Overall, this was a great place for a family trip. We really enjoyed our time here and appreciated how easy the hosts made everything. We would definitely stay again.

Overall Great Stay

The home was true to the pictures and the stay overall was great. My kids and grandchildren really enjoyed the pool and the pool table. However there are a couple of upgrades that are needed. Stop buying teflon cookware. Most of the cookware was badly scratched and unuseable. Also, the water pressure needs attention in the showers. We had to call several times about the trash pickup, but the management team was unable cleared it out until our last day. Overflowing trash and Florida heat is not a kind thing. The pool was great and clean. The accommodations for my family were adequate.

Two issues on arrival. Extremely dirty pool deck - 5 days before cleaned One toilet working- 4 days before fix. Both very obvious issues which should have been dealt with prior to my arrival. The house in general is very tired with lots of cracked floor tiles. Generally tired. Once the issues were sorted, quite liveable. Good location, enjoyed our stay.

All was overall good

Overall all was good but if a family like ours with 4 children is staying there should be a bare minimum of supplies left for us. There was a roll of paper towel, 2 rolls of toilet paper, 4 dishwasher pods. We are expected to strip the beds and start the laundry but no laundry detergent left for us. Propane gas tank at property was basically empty, we had to get a new one to be able to use the grill.
