Summer vacation is important to everyone, especially our group! We spend a great deal of time looking for the "perfect place" with great water access for boating, tubing and floating. If the water is the only thing that matters to you, you will be happy with this rental. The pier is in really poor condition. In fact, my husband stepped on a weak board and fell through!!! The pier was repaired, however a number of other "weak" boards were marked so we wouldn't get hurt on them. The pier needs some serious attention.
The home is advertised as a 4 bedroom, but it is actually a 3 bedroom. There is a 4th bed at the top of the stairs and curtains are used to provide privacy. If your group is fine with this, you will have no problems. If anyone in your group is tall, the upstairs will not work for you. My husband is over 6 feet and the ceiling fans could have easily given him a haircut!! (just be aware of the that).
The house has potential, but many things need some real tender loving care. The dryer is missing the on off knob. There is a sign on the dryer that says "turn gently" with a needle nose pliers to suffice as the knob. There was an ant invasion in the bathroom off the kitchen. We treated the ants during our stay, but it was not pleasant having ants marching across the kitchen counters during the day. Our first pot of coffee was found covering the kitchen floor, because of a leaking coffee pot. We had to purchase our own coffee maker for the stay. The home was not clean on arrival. Thank goodness, we brought supplies and cleaned as we moved in. The neighbors on each side of the rental property were super nice and welcoming!! However, there were renters a few homes down the street who brought their children over to play in the sand and use the swing on our property. This didn't settle well with our dog. Despite our requests for them to leave, they told us that "they knew the owners and it was alright......sorry, not while we are renting!" I wish I could give this place a better review, but given the time we took to find the right place for our 2016 family vacation, we were not impressed. The weather was perfect! The water was clear and great for floating, tubing and swimming. And of course, the company was excellent as always!! Sorry, Kraig, the house was a disappointment.
