We are a large family, & traveled with 7 adults + 2 kids. We also entertain friends when in the area. My objective is to rent a clean home, with good beds & plenty of seating. This house had almost all of the above! It was clean - as a couple previous reviews we also found cockroaches when we checked in (more than an acceptable amount even for Florida). I immediately sent an email to the owners and they coordinated with the mgt company to have the exterminator out within hours of my email.
The beds are ok - they have visibly had plenty of people sleeping in them because they are worn & have dips in them but we stilll got a decent night sleep.
We seem to rent houses with plenty of bedrooms but they are sadly missing proper seating for the number of people it will sleep. This is definitely NOT the situation here.
I was thrilled with LOTS of choices -
8 around the kitchen island
6 around the dinning room table
10 at the outdoor tables on the lanai
There's plenty of couches to watch t.v., read books & talk. The game room was a great addition for us to spread out and enjoy games. We very much appreciated that all of the equipment works & is fully usable!!
WARNING if you are staying here - INTERNET & CELLULAR DATA is BAD!! We have Verizon and unfortunately, we had NO cellular service while in the home or the immediate area around the house. The wifi was furnished and it was ok but it was spotty most of the week, causing us to miss phone calls and not be able to always get text messages.
This isn't all bad when you're on vacation but it really was a bit of a hassle. I had to go down the street to take a client call and to help them troubleshoot their needs.
We reset the modem and it seemed to help the wifi but just beware - there is NO Verizon service here, AT ALL!!
Since we visited in January, we paid for the heated pool. At least 1/2 our group used it every day. The heat was perfect. We quickly learned to start the timer on the hot tub jets as soon as we walked in the door, then change and grab a drink before getting in. This allowed it to heat up to a nice temp. We easily fit 4-5 adults in the hot tub, comfortably.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and appreciate the attention to detail of the owners and their quick responses when we contact them.
