Sixteen of us stayed at the beautiful Sand Simeon this week, and it is a wonderful home. There was plenty of room inside and out for relaxing and entertaining. The kids had a blast in the pool, which never felt crowded despite the number of people. The kitchen was very accommodating, although be aware there were a few items, like a griddle for pancakes, that surprisingly weren't there. Wasn't a big deal though!
The pluses were how comfortable the beds were (we all slept wonderfully!!); the extra refrigerators were awesome and the ice maker was a beast cranking out ice; the layout of the house is so well done, especially for those with kids; and the proximity to the house to the main pool and fitness center was nice.
I would have given this beautifully decorated house five stars, but there were several things that bothered me: none of the audio around the pool worked, despite a technician coming to take a look; there's no outdoor seating on the first or second floor balconies, which would have been a nice place to eat or sit out of the sun; and I was a little disappointed that the house didn't come with any extras like discounted golf, beach chairs or bikes. It also didn't come with a single roll of toilet paper in any of the bathrooms, which was annoying before we went shopping.
Overall, these are minor annoyances and seven days at this beautiful house were just what me and my family needed to have fun, relax and unwind.
