There were plenty of kitchen utensils. But the kitchen was very short on baking pans and large cookware. There were no large pots or baking pans. It seems like someone would have thought a 7 bedroom house with need some large cookware for the families that come to stay there.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that the kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, but we sincerely apologize for the absence of larger cookware and baking pans during your stay, especially in a spacious 7-bedroom home where we understand families often like to prepare meals together. Your comments are very valuable, and we will be sure to pass them along to our local team to help improve the kitchen amenities for future guests. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us enhance the experience for families and groups. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide an even better stay.
The house was just the right size for the 9 people in our family. There were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple/individual. The kitchen was stocked with the basics. A couple extra kitchen towels and dishrags would be nice since we stayed 5 nights and did a lot of dishes. The internet did have issues, but we were warned ahead that this may happen. Eventually, we got it to work. Access to the beach was nice and the deck got a lot of use during our stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful getaway in the future.
We had a total of 13 people and had plenty of room. House was clean and well stocked and property management very responsive. We would stay at this property again.
The house is large with a great outdoor deck off the living area that we used every day. The deck furniture is very nice also. Sunrise and sunset views were beautiful.

Great vacation
Beautiful home..Beautiful view. Lots of room. Highly recommend
This is directly on the beach. Can`t ask for closer to the beach than this. You can easily walk back and forth to get your drinks or food and come back. Excellent pricing for this type of value.
Great place. Fantastic rooms and layout. Only one complaint and its really just a comment, the grill is terrible and some hot pads would be appreciated. Otherwise ihigh marks across the board.
Excellent place to stay. A family vacation with 16 people, enough room and having all the bathrooms was beneficial. Beach was absolutely gorgeous. Would highly recommend. We did have to purchase some kitchen hand towels and dish cloths. Also brought our own extra silverware as there would not have been enough.
We enjoyed all of our meals on the back porch. The view was amazing. We also enjoyed being steps away from the Gulf.
The carpet has seen better days. Also, the siding from the house next door was peeling off, flapping in the wind, and blowing onto this property.
Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay.

Wonderful house and Location
House really was nice and you can’t beat the view and location. However, we never did get the two non-working toilets upstairs to work unless manually flushed with the tank lid off even tho it was reported on Monday and Wednesday of our start

Our local operations manager has been made aware of your concern, and they are working on it. We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
This home was perfect for our annual family vacation. 16 of us ages 8 months-65 years old had a blast. The home is exactly as listed and large and beautiful. And the beach is right there. No need to tow things back and fourth. We set up in the morning and went back and fourth with ease. Communication with the property manager was amazing.
