It appears as though this must be a new rental, which in some ways is great, and others not as great. The flooring and furniture all appeared new, and were very nice. One major downside is that the kitchen was not well stocked at all. The occupancy is for 12; however, there is not kitchenware for 12. We only had 10 people and it felt like we were always washing dishes in order to eat. We bought paper plates and plastic cups, but there weren't enough bowls or flatware either. There wasn't a colander, and since we made spaghetti, mac and cheese, and other noodle dishes this was a huge pain. There was a grill, but the only spatula and cooking utensils were rubber, so we had to go buy grilling tools in order to cook out (we did leave these...). There were also limited pots and pans, no large pots or pans, and no baking/roasting pans. The pool was great, not very big, but the kids loved it and the adults used it way more than anticipated.The living room only has seating for 5, and was not large enough for everyone to spend time together. The dining room which is attached to the living room only has 6 chairs and a few stools, but the chairs and stools were not comfortable for hanging out together. It was nice that they were metal for eating lunch in bathing suits though. The listing shows the floorplan as having two living rooms, but the one on the ground floor is really a screened in porch and not a living room.A huge upside for our kids is the proximity to Painter's Ice Cream. It was just a short walk. We rent golf carts, so the distance to the beach was not an issue, but if you're walking, especially with kids and beach gear it is quite a hike.We had a few issues when we arrived (hole in the wall in the bathroom, handrail not attached on the bottom, trash not removed from the property and no empty outdoor trash cans, and missing linens), but these were either remedied or noted by the rental company very quickly. We love Garden City Real
