Almost Heaven is very aptly described; really loved the place. LG Vacation Rentals, from the back-office staff to Terri on the island, were wonderfully responsive and helpful from start to finish. The house has a great open layout, with a combined living room / kitchen area that opens onto a large screened-in porch with a number of seating areas. You can see a bit of the Gulf from the house, and it’s a very short 2-3 min. walk to the beach. We had a boat, only a 5-6 min. walk to the dedicated dock space. Did not rent a golf cart, walked back and forth to beach and dock. LGVR has a. comprehensive binder that includes the island concierge who can help bring bags to the dock when you’re leaving. The bedrooms were very nicely done, everything clean and fresh, main bedroom with its own bath is separate from the other 2 bedrooms with shared bath. Everything you need in the kitchen, new fridge with icemaker, good pantry with essentials. Lots of beach towels. We did flip the couch around to face the main part of the room, opened the space up a bit (moved it back at the end of course; the couch has seen better days but we all loved it. =)
A very cool area we did not spend enough time in is the screened-in, open-air downstairs. Big hammock, a couple of seating areas, lots of chairs, floats, toys for the beach; grill and a fish-cleaning table/sink right outside the screened area.Huge thank-you to the LGVR staff, love the place, look forward to returning.
