Property not available
The same day of our stay we were moved to a different property on a canal. This specific home was still under repairs and was not available. It looked like it was being remodeled and the owner over committed to when it would be ready. We had to settle for a property that was available the same day rather what we booked months in advance.

Spacious and steps from private beach
The house has great bones. Steps to private beach and that was wonderful! So nice that all of the rooms had their own bathroom and shower except one. Our family of 9 had plenty of space if we needed it and we were able to cozy up in living room and at dinner table. Didn't really utilize deck because not enough outdoor chairs since some we're broken. The grill needs TLC we couldn't use it. The pictures are not current. Cleaning staff needs to pay attention to details and the couch needs a good deep cleaning. The rooms were spacious beds were comfy but the house wasn't set up/staged for guests. 3 of the beds had sheets and a thin blanket, no comforters. Updates and attention to detail is in order. Plenty of bath and wash towels were provided for all of our guests but no beach towels. Prepare to bring EVERYTHING you need to cook and daily use. I had to buy a large cookie sheet, several paper towels rolls, toilet paper, detergent, dish soap, dishwasher pods (dishwasher did not clean well). In hind site, not worth the price of the stay with all that I had to provide on top of it all.

Property review
Nice property. I would suggest a covering for a window in one of the downstairs bedrooms. We were there during a lightning storm. The window is high above a bed. It looked like at some point there had been a shade on that odd shaped window.

Awesome view. Very Spacious. Great Kitchen!
It has an amazing view. Plenty of space for the 14. Short distance to the Beach. Great space for cooking and plenty of room for comfortable dining. Refrigerator is not as large as accustomed. No icemaker or water. Only big issue is all the toilets are very low to the floor. Difficult for older folks and no bars to lift up.

Great, other than the bugs
The property was great, and so was the management. We did find bugs and most of our luggage is still in the car because we are afraid to bring the bugs in. The toilets worked sometimes
