The house was perfect! Comfortable & well located. The strict checkin time was the only frustrating thing. Standing on the hot porch with bags and groceries after a long drive at 3:45 pm and the code doesn’t work until 4:01 while Sun is beaming on us.

Thumbs up

We enjoyed the Canal of a good time. The house was clean and comfortable. It’s a cozy house perfect for a family vacation. The location is good. We rented a golf cart which made it very easy and quick to get to a lot of places. The deck area was very nice and relaxing. The communication with the rental company was good. I didn’t need anything in the kitchen. Pretty much everything needed was there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Overall not bad. These are suggestions for the property. A full matching set of cookware would be nice. The kitchen is not safe. There isn’t a vent for cooking, microwave below stove top. I would remodel kitchen to prevent accidents with those staying on the property.

Would recommend adding additional light along walking paths and driveway at night which can be a bit tricky to navigate at night. As it near many beach accesses it is very difficult to find parking to accommodate your golf cart.
