When we stayed for a week at 4616 Gulf Blvd., the house had lots of needed repairs. The stove/oven and hot tub did not work. We knew this in advance and purchased a toaster/oven prior to going. One of the refrigerators didn't cool as it should. The pool and surrounding area was covered in bird poop, the tiles around pool were broken, the step-down area into the garage was flooded and not draining so that our shoes got drenched each time we went into garage to get car. Unfortunately, it rained nearly every day, and rained into one of the bedrooms leaving the floor wet.
That said, on the day we left, the gas company was at the house prepared to repair the stove/oven. The refrigerator was repaired while we were there. A cleaning crew came in to clean up the pool and the area around the pool (but with returning birds it might not stay clean). We were told that repairs would be made to the leaking bedroom window and wall.
Our requests for help with the problems were met with quick replies and promises to get all repaired. We felt like nearly everything would be repaired and clean for the next guests.
The house, itself, is so spacious that our family of 16 was very comfortable (with one exception - one of the beds, second floor in the front of the house was extremely LUMPY. It was so lumpy that we couldn't use it for anyone to sleep on. I don't think a child could have slept on it. There seemed to be a cavity in the middle of that mattress. We had to double up where we hadn't planned on doubling up.
And, we failed to report that problem with so many other more important problems.)
The house is right on the beach with a wonderful view of the ocean.
The small pool is on the street side of the house - not on the ocean side. There are a few things in the garage that you could take to the beach like boogie boards, but we had our own chairs/boogie boards, etc. and would not have had enough had we relied on their provisions.
I have hesitated to give a good rating because when we were there, it was below average. If everything got repaired, the rating could easily go up to above average or excellent.
Hoping I have explained in such a way as to encourage the next guests to call ahead to check on the repairs before making reservations.
