My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at your place! It was a very last minute trip, and we're SO glad it worked out!
The house is in a great little neighborhood, just a short walk to the beach. We even walked our dog around awhile and it felt almost like we were cruising our home turf. The road was quite busy at times, but only because it was in such a great location. Head one direction to the beach, & the other to get back on the highway and anywhere you needed, quickly, including Pier Park!
The house is well laid out, cute, comfy and so functional. We enjoyed the nice and open kitchen layout & the trays by the couches were perfect for meals, drinks, or to sit a book or computer on while relaxing. Our small dog liked to keep an eye out from the covered front porch or perch on either couch to see out the living room windows. The fenced yard was a nice size for us and our dog, with big and beautiful, bright flowering bushes along the back.
The house was well stocked with everything we needed, every essential item you could want in the kitchen, charcoal for the grill, wood for the firepit out back, all kinds of fun beach gear, an abundance of extra towels...even the toilet paper, paper towels, bathroom and dish soaps were of nice quality. The washer/dryer right off the kitchen and the outdoor shower were so convenient!
The only minor note was that the beds had a bit of sand here and there on the comforters mostly and also on the floors (all understandable, of course) and some of the towels we found still wet in the dryer. I think the cleaning person was just in a huge hurry. The house was booked back-to-back, and it really wasn't a big deal at all. Otherwise everything was quite clean.
The condition of some of the place was just a bit worn with time and general wear and tear, also some lightbulbs missing or needing replaced, and the yard was a little overgrown, but it was nothing that interfered with a wonderful stay! We took note of these things just in case, knowing it was that way when we got there. We just like to ensure we don't damage or hurt anything, as we really strive to take care and leave things as nice as we found them.
We SO appreciate you fitting us in last minute amidst an ultra-tight schedule, and again, it really was a blast! We would really love to come back, and the sooner the better!! Thank you for sharing your sweet piece of paradise with us!
