Beautiful!

The house was very nice and located very close to the beach. Had beach towels for use & an outdoor shower for rinsing off. There is a lot of mosquitoes so be aware of that fact . The beds need better mattresses but other than that it was an amazing house!

Had a great stay

We enjoyed our stay here. While we had a few minor issues such as an electronic lock misbehaving and an unmowed lawn, the management company Silver Sands was very responsive and took care of everything super quick. The home was well-outfitted and the grill was fantastic. We really appreciated the extra refrigerator to hold drinks.

A few issues

Started with not having the code to enter, unable to contact property manager to get in. The house could have been cleaner. We ran out of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap and dishwasher detergent, we stayed 5 nights.The outdoor grills were unusable due to rust. The couch recliner was falling apart.

Sandy Paws and Salty Kisses

Upon arrival I was given two door codes so that was confusing. As we entered the property we noticed that the group before had not taken the trash out and left cigarette butts outside by the pool. The pool had sand caked to the bottom and grass all over the top. We called to have them come back and change the bedding because it was so sandy and definitely not clean. I had to call VRBO to get ahold of the actual rental group in PORT A because their phone number was not working. The neighbors next door said the house they were renting from the same group was also dirty upon their arrival. Pros- easy to get to, good layout. Cons- did not have tvs in all rooms as advertised, was dirty upon arrival, could not get ahold of management to deal with issues. If I was staying in this house again I would definitely bring my own bedding and cleaning gear. Also be prepared to clean the pool.

Congrats to the Grad

Really enjoyed the house! We were a party of 11, with 5 young adults celebrating the graduate, 2 teens and 4 parents. It had a large Blackstone that we cooked 6 onions and 13 pounds of fajita meat in just minutes. It quickly cooked 4 pounds of sausage and 3 pounds of bacon. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and Marguerita machine. The fridge has regular crushed ice and tennis ball size ice machine. The liquor store is about 100 feet from the house. Has a golf cart cross over 361 at Howard. Just go through the parking lot by the liquor store. About 7-8 minutes from beach in golf cart. Pool was really nice, but got green and cloudy after the rain and maintenance could not be called got 2-3 days. The back yard does butt up to the nature preserve, so be sure to bring mosquito spray. Bring extra trash bags and toilet paper. There was no laundry supplies, so bring your own. The washer and dryer worked, but were on their last leg. Checkout out is at 10 instead of the customary 11. We never ran out of hot water and the downstairs shower came in very handy. Overall we loved the house and it fit our needs.
