Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This house was very nice to stay in. Any maintenance issues were fixed right away with great communication with management. I will say that the listing is correct that they only provide starter supplies. If you are staying more than a few days you’ll need more detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags than are provided. Also, bath towels were hard to find enough for everyone. I’m not sure there were 16 bath towels. We were washing them just to be able to share them. We brought our own beach towels for the boat and trips to the beach. All-in-all, it was a beautiful place and great location for our family of 16 to stay. The view and access to the water were perfect. We rented a boat and went to Crab Island and played in the pool when the tropical storm grounded us to the house.
