We had an amazing week at Cocohut! It was me, my wife, our three kids (10, 7, 5), and my father-in-law (62). The house was nearly perfect on the inside. The beds were all very comfortable and everything was incredibly clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear, and we enjoyed cooking all our meals at the house. The internet worked well and the smart TV in the living room was great. When it wasn't too muggy, we enjoyed a few meals on the screened in porch, which was lovely. Ray, the homeowner, sent us the most detailed welcome packet that we've ever received from a VRBO host, and his guidance was so helpful in knowing what was provided with the house and what we needed to bring.
The location of the house was amazing. Initially, we were concerned about the walk from the house down to the beach, but it was not a problem and in fact, we ended up liking the separation. The house came with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas, and the kids found lots of sand toys to play with. The beach was the least crowded we've ever been to in Florida, and there were plenty of times when we had the whole beach to ourselves. The water was generally calm, but on the days with bigger waves, we walked down to the south end of the island where there was a more protected beach on the bay side. Maybe the best part of the beach were the shark's teeth. Our crew collected over 1000 during our stay! We did encounter some sargassum, but not enough to ruin our time on the beach.
