We traveled with 2 older dogs and wanted a house with a pool. This was the perfect set up for dogs. A big fenced back yard, hard surface floors, they even had a dog/baby gate to block off an area if you wanted - this was great as our oldest has sight/hearing issues and we could keep him in one area of the home.
One item i was not a fan, but my husband loved - was the shaded pool. Im a fan of the sun, and i had to chase the sun when using the pool. My husband who typically lives in the shade when we go to the beach loved every minute in the perfectly shaded pool. The Live Oaks are huge in this yard, creating a lot of shade.
We did have a problem fridge, which the host knew about and had a temporary fridge in the home until the brand new fridge arrived during our stay. Thats just something that happens - and it was handled in a professional manner. The property manager gets an A+ for communication on this.
The home is older, in great shape, but could use a few updates and fix what ever is causing the mold smell in the hall as well as deep clean the corners, curtains and tops of stationary items in the primary bedroom. There was a lot of old dust webs that require a deep clean. (we all get them in our home, but for some reason they were in abundance during our stay)
Would i return to this home - yes
Would i recommend it - yes. The location was quiet, the walk to the beach easy. The proximity to the Stores/Restaurants was good. (walkable for some)
