The living area was open and spacious. Living area was neat and clean. It looked like there had been some damage to the screened in porch area and underside of home from recent hurricanes that had not been fixed yet, so the porch area doors did not close properly, but had no effect on the living area, just cosmetic fixes that needed to be complete. The place is quiet and remote, so it took around 30 min to get to a grocery store.The coffee pot quit working one morning, but the property manager had a new one delivered to us within minutes!

Our views were spectacular and my husband could fish from the beach all day long, undisturbed if he chose to. The house was extremely clean and had great views of the water! It is very comfortable and has great decks outside to observe all the wildlife (we especially enjoyed seeing the porpoises (or was it dolphins - we still debated that). The kitchen had everything you need to cook meals and we took advantage of that. Josh was available anytime we called to answer questions and that was very much appreciated.
