I was thinking of renting again, and realized I never left a review last year. The house is gorgeous. Lots of open space, but quiet nooks too. The house is set up so there could be multiple groups doing separate things, yet not really secluded from each other. The downstairs rooms flow. You can see each other & still somewhat participate in a conversation yet have separate groups. There is a room with a pool table and large sectional. This room opens to one with a long table for meals/games/puzzles/chatting, which opens to an eat-in kitchen table & kitchen. This is open to a small sitting area with a couple of conversation chairs. This is all open to yet another sitting area with sectional couch overlooking the pool area. It has a nice big table to play games on. A bar area is to the side of this room. Ice maker and tools to make a cocktail (minus the booze) is there. All of these social rooms look out onto the water. The windows (and sliding glass doors) are so huge the view is hardly interrupted. Same for the upstairs- tons of windows. Beautiful, breezy lanai upstairs. There’s a very nice lounge/gaming area upstairs. Gaming systems and games included. Great for kids.
I stayed in bedroom downstairs because had to use walker at the time. Couldn’t use stairs. There’s no view from that bedroom (only bedroom without view)but we were only there long enough to sleep so no biggie. From the perspective of the handicapped, the whole first floor is easily navigated with a walker. Should b for a w/c too. We bought a small portable shower chair, that easily fit in the big walk-in shower. There are only 2 small steps total into front of house. No steps to back patio. Disappointed there was no rail to get in pool. There are a couple steps descending into water (they can also be used as pool seats). Could manage with help.
Bedrooms and bathrooms all had storage space so didn’t have to live out of suitcase. We easily ran out of towels so next time I’ll bring extra. Kitchen was well-equipped but lots of room for your own stuff too. Awesome grill. Plenty of sturdy tables/furniture outside. Pool toys included. Loved the pool basketball hoop. We saw lots of dolphins every day. We rented golf cart. It’s legal to drive up to 45mph I think? Used it for easy parking wherever we wanted to go. We got a couple looks on a certain busy road, but it was legal & too handy to care. There were only a couple places we used Uber. Management so nice, with 24/7 help.
