This house was exactly what we were hoping for. It was easily accessible for my disabled parents - no steps, walk-in shower, and pool was easy to get in and out of. Plenty of space for our kids to play. The porch was shady and comfortable in all weather. We played board games and ate all of our meals out there. All of the furniture was sturdy, comfortable, and large enough for a family of 6. The decor was tasteful and everything was very clean.
The location is great - short drives to grocery stores, restaurants, playground/splash pad, and the beach. We went to the handicap ramp at beach access 40-D, which is a 9-min drive.
While we LOVED the house, there were some frustrating quirks that put a few wrinkles in our trip. The water pressure is very low and we could only run one shower at a time. If someone flushes the toilet while you are in the shower the water disappears to a trickle for awhile. So we basically had one bathroom for six people. In addition, the knob for the master shower doesn't work properly. It is very tricky to find the one random spot to turn the water on to (sort of) full blast and the water takes a very long time to heat up, so it's hard to tell when you've found it. And then it's hard to turn off. My husband was the only one who could consistently do it, so he had to turn the shower on/off for everyone!
The dryer only works on highest heat, set to the heaviest setting, with a small load. We washed two large loads on the last day of our trip and found cold, wet clothes at the end of multiple dryer cycles. We had to split our laundry into six small loads and get up in the night to finish.
Less important was that the ice maker wasn't working. There were two bags of ice in the freezer, which was plenty for us. The water filter in the fridge also needs replacing.
We weren't told that the pool guy was coming and we would need to get out for awhile. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem, but we had terrible weather for most of our trip and it was the last chance our family had to swim together before more storms. We asked him to come back another day, which we felt bad about, and he kindly did.
I appreciate a host who texts to check in with us after we've arrived and after we've left. We didn't contact them about our problems because most couldn't be quickly addressed during our trip. If I'd heard from them I would have told them about these issues privately. I hope they are fixed because we would love to come back!
