Great and convenient location for larger groups

We had family and friends coming in for a special occassion and rented both sides of the duplex. It worked out well for the size of the group and proximity to the beach and stores, restaurants and attractions. The home itself is older and a little weathered with minimal amenities and supplies but it is more than adequate and we enjoyed the affordability relative to other properties near the beach with similar capacity. Kids fished in the canal, we grilled using the charcoal grills and had a good time.

Just “ok”

The home was fairly clean, but really needed some maintenance. The main thing is absolutely no privacy in the living room at night. There’s a big sliding glass door with a 100% see through sheer covering it. It faces the street and anyone can see in. Overall it was just ok.
