Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay so much.Some of the cookware and dishes were not too clean. Like the dish washer mayh not have cleaned well maybe. But not a problem as they were easy to wash. Might have enjoyed a blit more hot water when everyone came in at the same time but again not a big deal.Thanks so much we had a wonderful time with the family.

This one is hard to review. The location is epic. The floors felts like it was a beach itself. We adjusted by putting on shoes. The showers were wet with hot water. We cooked well. The kitchen was well equipped - the best equipped I’ve ever seen at a STR. The cleaning crew needs to slow down and do a deep dive clean. If you don’t believe me, look behind the master bed or the TV in the den. The moisture will always be tough as it is as close to the beach as possible. Great location. House need a terrific de-humidifier. I would go back and I would know what I’m getting. I would take a floor cleaner to get it right when we got there.
