We spent Thanksgiving week at this house with 6 adults and 3 young children and it was a wonderful experience. The 3 levels allowed each family to have their own space yet the living/dining area on the 3rd floor was large enough for all of us to eat and engage in activities together. If you have a toddler, keep in mind that the staircases are open.
The pool was a hit with the grandkids however it was not working when we arrived. It was determined the heater needed to be replaced so we lost about 3 days of swim time, but the Ocean Reef folks were very gracious about making it right financially. The pool is a nice size, with easy access for older folks with a nice spa area. Bring your own pool toys; there were a couple boogie boards and beach chairs, but no noodles or such.
The house is located in a nice residential area just a 5 min walk to the beach. Five cars can easily park off street. Only 5 min to the Publix and 10 to the Walmart.
The beds were comfortable with nice linens (tho we had "crumbs" in one upon arrival). Good water pressure in the showers with ample and nice towels. Elevator worked great.
The kitchen had a nice convection oven and gas cooktop. The refrigerator was large with chilled water and an icemaker with an additional ice maker under-counter.
If you plan to eat out most of the time this kitchen is well appointed. Lots of plates, silverware, cereal bowls and large matched set of wine glasses. If you plan to cook a lot while you are there (we did, including Thanksgiving dinner) you should know that like all rentals it lacks a good, non-stick fry pan, tho there were adequate other size pots and pans, bakeware and colanders. No juice glasses and only a small # of mismatched water glasses. Salt and pepper shakers were the only condiments. Sooo, bring your own coffee filters, dish soap, dish scrubbers, pot holders and dish towels...they provide a couple, but not enough if you cook a lot. They did provide paper towels, trash bags, DW soap and ample TP.
We would definitely choose this rental again if coming the this area with a large group. It is uniquely suited for multiple families, is well maintained, and the rental agency was responsive during business hours. And it was a great off-season value!
