The home had plenty of room for our group and location was great! We had a fantastic trip! There are a few things that need to be addressed. The mattress in al the beds were awful and hard!! We took turns sleeping on the sofa which wasmore comfortable.Also, some outside furniture that was showing in pictures is. o longer there and there is NO grill.

Great Property!

We loved our stay here! The description for the property was accurate, and it is in a perfect location! It is a short walk to the beach, and it is close to many other enjoyable activites. It is fairly priced, especially considering we stayed here for 9 days. Overall, we would definitely stay at this property again!

Don't trust the pictures! The outside is un-usable. No table, no grill, one lonely old plastic chair & a swing that is unsafe because of the rusting chain. Inside not much better. No stoppers in any of the sinks except for bottle caps someone had used to fill a bathroom sink. If you drop a ring it is headed to the gulf. Floor vents rusty and bent. Don't work bare footed are you may need a tetanus shot. Curtain by dining table kept falling down. Some of the blinds were broken and didn't work. Only one small broken three drawer dresser. If you are over 6 feet tall you will have a problem getting into the very small corner shower. Nail heads sticking up on the deck and upper walk way. No ice maker! Kitchen cabinet door broken. Couch blocking door to a bedroom. But it does allow pets.
