Nice house...but they had a hurricane
Pros: The house is wonderful. Very modern, clean, and it seemed new or newly renovated. We also rented the boat shown in the picture (there is a boating company associated with the property but the boat DOES NOT come with the property, it was $200/day. But the boat was the best part of the vacation! My kids loved it! Spa worked great too and heated fast, it had great lighting and jets!
Cons: There was a house going up next door, but since it was over the Christmas weekend, we didn't have to deal with much noise. We have stayed in Florida many times and we always make sure to make a heated pool because cold weather tends to follow us. We tried for 3 days to heat the pool and it never reached above the air temp. I called the property manager and she told us "oh everyone is having a problem with it and it's nothing they can do as long as the a heater is running in the back of the house." Then when
We went to check out, the individual told us they had a very abnormal cold spell and the heated pools on their properties turned off as a safety mechanism when the air temp drops below 50...so we wasted 3 days trying to heat a pool that didn't have a chance to heat?! Plus, they charge 0.19 cents per watt of electricity when we checked out and take it out of the security deposit (didn't mention that in the description) so our electric bill was very high because of all the attempts made to waste electrify to heat a pool that didn't heat 😤🤯. Plus, the screen that covered the pool was mostly gone, which allowed the ducks to come in and drink the pool water and poop everywhere. The first thing we did was clean up duck poop from the deck so my crew wouldn't step in it and track it into the house. There was a lot of houses with a lot of damage to their properties, docks recked, screens gone, fences demolished, still trying to recover from the hurricane. The neighbor was smart and put up snick fencing to keep the ducks away, didn't look the greatest, but it kept the ducks out!
Overall, nice house, quiet property when the construction workers were not there, boat was great, the hot tub worked great, but the pool was a huge disappointment. We have never heard an excuse for not being able to heat a pool such as the temp being too cold. It wasn't an issues for the spa that was steaming. So as long as the weather is good, hopefully future guests will enjoy it
