First, let’s talk about the location. The house is on a beautiful, quiet street, right off 395 and close to the beach. The BEST part of all - the beach access for this house led to one of the least populated areas along the beach There were times that I joked with the kids that I paid an extra $50K for a private beach vacation. It’s easy to get to Publix, so you don’t have to buy everything you might need in one giant shop ( and end up with lots of leftovers to throw out). There’s a 5 min walk to the beach (we timed it). The path was a bit challenging if you’re carrying a large or heavy items as it was as a little narrow and had trees crossing in different directions. That said, it wasn’t a big deal. You can always drop tents, big coolers and chairs at the end of the road across from the beach, have your strong peeps carry them right across road, drive right back to the house and join them a few minutes later.
Now for the house. We really loved it. It was super cute! We had 9, but you could sleep up to 12 people in beds. There’s a private apartment space that was perfect for our daughter and her fiancé . There was a private room in the back of the downstairs where we put the loud snoring uncle. Having a pool was nice after a day in the salty ocean and for a night swim. The kitchen was very well appointed. Though a bit small, it was no problem. There was always hot water for showers and the beach chairs and toys were great! Thank you for hosting us Amy!
