I gave 4 stars based on location - but would rate house a 3.
If you are looking for a quiet retreat without a crowd, this is the place for you. There was one family next to us, and then nobody in either direction for a thousand yards. There are water views from every window and side of the house. I caught some excellent fish including two huge red fish, some black tip and sandbar sharks, stingrays and tons of cat of catfish.
The house had everything we needed but has issues that should be addressed. The bed in the master is uncomfortable and very noisy - every time you roll over it squeaks. The vertical blinds in the master are horrible and missing at least 1 blind - which is bad because the neighbors can see in and is difficult to keep light out. The sink in the guest bath is impossible to use, the spout is about 1 inch from the back of the sink and the water dribbles out of it. Finally, the furniture is not adequate for the living area. There is one couch and two wicker chairs which is not nearly enough for a house that claims to sleep 15. There is seating in the loft, but for the main living area it needs more. The kitchen table is big enough to seat a lot. We only had 4 of us, so sleeping was not an issue. However, there is no way 15 people can sleep comfortably in this house(listed as sleeping 15). There are 3 bedrooms that can each sleep 2. There are futons upstairs in the loft and two chairs I presume they are counting that people can sleep in. The maximum number of people that could sleep in beds in a room is only 6 (2 in master and 2 in each bedroom. That leaves 9 they claim can sleep in the loft - beware if you have a large crowd sleeping will be a challenge.
One final note, if you are accustomed to the crystal clear waters of Panama City or Destin, beware as the water at this beach is much cloudier and not very clear. It's extremely shallow (2-3 feet deep) for several hundred yards which I presume keeps the water cloudier. Furthermore, the beach was covered in grass and sea weed that washed up.
Positives: Location, quiet, fishing, peaceful, well stocked kitchen, outdoor shower, nice outdoor furniture and deck, parking
Negatives: water clarity, furniture, limited dining options, splinters from handrails, have to clean when leaving or you will be charged, hose to wash feet had holes they tried to tape - was inoperative so I bought my own - this is a cheap fix & not sure why the owner thought taping a hose was the right approach?
