Communication prior to our stay was a little frustratingly slow at times, I had a few questions and reached out through VRBO and it took a while to get a response, though we did eventually get responses.
The house was great, as expected. The pool heater was not working when we arrived, but I called and they sent someone very promptly and got it fixed. The Wifi was also not working when we first arrived, but that was resolved quickly as well.
The living/common space was a little smaller than we hoped, but it was good enough for a fairly large party (10 adults, 7 children) to enjoy (the 2 diningroom tables was so great - it was one of the key reasons we booked this house over alternatives). We did also let them know that the dryer was not working as expected - it would never stop if you put on the self-dry cycle - we accidentally ran a dryer load for like 10 hours overnight not realizing it would run continuously - yikes. Hopefully this gets resolved prior to another renter - as this is a fire risk. So - although things were fixed, it was probably more repair issues than you'd expect at your beach rental.
The dining needs (plates, cups, silverware) left a little to be desired - we needed plastic silverware to have enough. Though, there did seem to be pretty good coverage for cooking (pots, pans, knives, cutting board, etc). We were also fairly unimpressed with the quality of the sheets/towels - pretty cheap/worn fabric - but not bad enough that it was a serious issue - just...would have been nice to have nicer stuff.
The pool was great! Its a little small but was perfect for our group with lots of little kids. The heater was great, spending lots of time in there in November. The lounge area around the pool is very small - but this was something we really appreciated with lots of little kids, it was easy to bar access for to put everyone's mind at ease. There is a gate around the pool with a high latch to open it, we spent a lot of time in there! (it was a little expensive for this add on- being about $100/day, so not sure it was "worth it", but we definitely enjoyed it.
Lots of parking, Publix is 1 mile away, beach was excellent - overall it was a great stay!
