This place rates a 5 for location. It has the beautiful bay views and is very short walk to the gulf side to enjoy the beach. Central location to everything. The place was clean in all the main areas; however could use a deep spring cleaning for under furniture, corners, on top of cabinets, decor up high. There are a few items needing maintenance as well..i.e. boards/nails sticking up, light bulbs needing replacing, broken hinges on blinds/doors in sitting room, broken lamp base...nothing major - just needs some TLC. Unfortunately they are building and repairing houses around this home, which made for a few very noisy days. We escaped to the beach when it got unbearable. Great place for 2-4 people and dogs. We loved that the deck which went around 3 sides of the house had gates to allow the dogs to roam freely when we were out on the deck. They had all the bare necessities covered hand soap, dish soap, sponges, dishwasher pods, laundry soap, towels, bedding, pots, pans, dishes, glasses, utensils. Please note there are little to no condiments, spices, coffee as some places provide - no worries - just be aware so you can bring your own. Again best location - other than the noise - and a few additional touches could really add to a stay here. We would rent here again.
