My husband, dog and myself stayed for a month and really enjoyed this house. Lovely touches include a plush robe, steamer, soaps and shampoo, blow dryer etc. Lots of extra linens, towels. Well-stocked kitchen, including 2 coffee makers, keurig coffee pods and regular coffee. Frig had filtered water and ice. Every weekend is a flea market and we got some great buys there. The Keys is very pet friendly and many bars and restaurants are pet-friendly. Host was very responsive .
