The house is large & beautiful & the location was great - on the intercoastal & just a short walk to beach. Our family of 11 had plenty of space. We loved being able to fish off the dock & use our paddleboards & the double kayak provided right from the backyard. Beach toys, wagon & strollers provided a plus for us.On the downside, there is really no outdoor space ( I asked ahead of time for pictures of the backyard & no pictures were sent - he just commented that there was no fence between backyard & water so toddlers should be supervised). Very small space in back, with only a few dirty chairs. Decks off the 2nd & 3rd floor were nice, but 3rd floor could use more than 2 chairs. Could be a lot nicer with some outdoor space & seating. Prior to our check in, we had asked if we could store some things in the garage for a few hours so we would have room for picking up family from the airport & were told yes, but when trying to set up time convenient to owner, my message was never answered so we just had to show up & were clearly not expected. We also had to clean the kayak before using. When we arrived at the house, there was a sheet and a shirt laying on the master bed & an indent on the bed like someone had been laying there. The home could have been cleaner. The owner had a stove delivered while we were there, so the installer, the owner, his wife & daughter all showed up & were in the house for over 2 hours in the middle of the day while we had 2 babies trying to nap.
