We had a great time at the house. The house all the essentials (maybe except shampoo / conditioner, but there's plenty of hand soap). Rooms are nice and cozy, linen is soft. Plenty of storage, and you don't even need to bring much as washer and dryer are right there (just bring the detergent).We cooked most of our meals, both at the kitchen and on the grill, very convenient.Private pool is such a luxury, both adults and kids had a great time there.The house is literally steps from the beach (close enough to go home from the beach to use the bathroom and come right back). You have to cross a road, but it's a slow road, mostly with golf carts bring people to and from the beach. This road also has a bike lane, which is amazing for biking, running, etc. There's a bike rental closer to the bridge.We were at the house first week of August, and got some rains, which was nice to cool down a little. Even without the rain, we had quite a few very warm and cloudy days, which was perfect for the beach - warm enough to stay in a wet swimsuit, and playing freely in the sand without hiding under a tent from the sun. Most of the days it was quite windy, and the waves were high - nice for splashing, but not really for a long calm swimming (like you would get in Tampa).The house is closer to the further end of the island, which is mostly residential, so you won't walk to a cafe or ice cream. There's plenty of cafe's closer to the bridge and right after the bridge. Highly recommend!
