Our multi-generational family spent a wonderful week in this home. The home is one floor, and all the showers were walk-in, making this a great rental for groups with seniors. The highlight of this home is the enclosed pool and spa, where we spent most of our time. Plenty of seating for outdoor dining, a clean grill, and a huge swimming pool. The house is on a canal, and the dock offers picture worthy views of the sunset.
The kitchen was well appointed with everything a group needs to prepare meals and included a cabinet with spices. There were plenty of cabinets for food storage and countertop space for food prep.
Property manager was very responsive and easy to communicate with through the app and by text. Check -in and check -out process was simple and overall our stay was wonderful.
Two things to note when considering renting this property, based on our experience. First, there was a significant ant problem for the duration of our stay. The ants were in the primary bathroom and in the kitchen. Property manager dropped off some ant killer liquid with instructions on using it; it did help, but didn't entirely address the issue. It was explained that this is common during dry periods when the ants seek moisture. We did our best to manage it, but it really felt like our responsibility to take care of their ant problem during our vacation, which was not pleasant. Also, you have to be so vigilant to not leave any speck of food out, which is not easy with a group. Second, the home is equipped with a safety feature for all doors leading to the pool area. This requires users to press a button before opening the door, and opening/closing the door within 10 seconds before an alarm sounds. This is a great safety feature for groups with children. It is also challenging to make sure not to set off the alarm every time we opened the door, especially when carrying meals from the kitchen or multiple people exiting at one time. It also meant we couldn't have the sliding door open for true indoor/outdoor living when the temps cooled in the evening. Not a complaint, but helpful to know when considering renting this home.
