My husband and I took my parents (in their 80's), plus 4 more family members for a much needed beach getaway. My parents were able to take their 7 lb 15 year old "furbaby", so that was a blessing. The house was 2 houses from the Pass, which was a great view, except the water rushing out from the pass is darker lagoon water and has a fairly strong current, so I would guard children. The layout of the house is wonderful . . . 3 BR, 3 1/2 baths downstairs and 1 K BR, nice master bath with living space upstairs. All beds were pretty comfortable, though the upstairs K was too firm for our liking. Large well equipped kitchen! Beachside decks were very nice. Chairs on the deck are okay, not real comfortable. While this house is very nice, several things were undesirable. . . the house greatly needs painting (at least touch up) inside and out, especially inside! Walls, woodwork and kitchen cabinets are in rough shape, just look dirty, broken blinds, large glass dining table had rather sharp corners and after my 83 year old dad's chair collapsed with him (and he is not heavy at all), we checked all the chairs because a couple of arms were missing or broken and screws loose on some legs, we discovered 5 of the six had cracks in the legs, ready to break. Needless to say, we didn't sit in them again. The bottom step coming up from parking area to the deck was also missing, a fall hazard. I called our first day to report it ~ never fixed. The second morning of our 5 night stay, we had a terrible storm, rain flooded the parking area underneath with about 6+ inches of water that did not drain out until the next morning. Lightening hit either the house or right at the house, knocking out power (which we got back on via the inside and outside breaker boxes), it blew out 3 TVs that had to be replaced, and my dad's Camry, in the standing water, was affected by the powerful lightening strike, knocking out all his electrical, gauges and AC. He was able to drive it home (after we spoke to Toyota), but is now having it repaired at a mighty cost. Hopefully insurance will be involved. The weather certainly is not anyone's fault, but when I called to report the issues, I was told that the standing water had been an ongoing issue, even getting almost knee deep. No cable or internet for our remaining 4/5 days which was a problem for us. And some of the "extra fees" are ridiculous,, so be aware.
