Our family found this to be a lovely escape during the pandemic. It was clean and easy to find in a quiet neighborhood. There is a gas station nearby, but otherwise it is a healthy 20 minutes to restaurants, grocery stores, Walmart, etc.
Here are things that we really appreciated:
*nice south facing pool and large patio with a hot tub, plenty of loungers, and a covered table for six which enabled us to eat outside, regardless of weather conditions. LOVED THIS!
*There was a large pond at the back of the property with a resident alligator
*well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer
*quiet bedrooms with nice bedding
*game room with pool, ping pong, and air hockey
*tv in family room was large and clear - great for movie nights
*The owner was responsive!
Early in our trip I contacted the owner about the bikes, couch, and blinds. (Side note: these items didn't ruin our vacation by any means, but if I was the owner, I would want someone to tell me about these items.)
*We were a little disappointed that bikes were in the listing and in the photos, but there was a sign saying that they were off limits due to insurance reasons. This is fine, but then the bikes really should be removed from the listing.
*The couch was really comfortable for watching movies, but the fabric (vegan leather?) is literally shedding tiny bits all over. It may just be well loved and is ready for retirement.
*Many of the vertical blinds have been repaired, but some of the them would have a panel or two that wouldn't pivot.
*There was an air hockey table, but no pucks. We contacted the manager, but she didn't know where they were, either. We ordered some from Amazon and donated them to the game room.
*The pool screen had some tears. The owner said that it was common for that to happen and he would call for repairs once we were gone.
It is understandable that because of travel restrictions, the owner hasn't been able to visit the property. The only thing this house didn't have that we looked for was a grill. (Owner said they are illegal in the pool area.) This house was lovely and we were very comfortable. In my opinion, if there were new blinds, a new couch, and fluffy new white towels, this house would definitely be worth the price.
