First off the home is absolutely beautiful and clean inside and out!
One of the disappointing factors is that it is a 4 unit home not 2. The other two units are owned by someone else and they live there year around. You could hear everything, TV, music, talking, cupboards closing, toilet flushing, etc. Nice people, but not the privacy we expected and I assume they could hear us as well. The kayak was the other issue, and a big one because we expected to do a lot of kayaking. Unless you had a truck or racks on your vehicle (to transport to the park)there was no way of getting the kayak in the water. We assumed by the pictures and description we could put it in there, but there is no way of getting it down to the water. There was no ladder (which we assumed all places on the water did for safety reasons) down to the water or floating platform and it is about a 5-6 foot drop and we were not allowed to use the boat lift. This home is also very close to the airport and there was a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood as well (not the owners fault we know, just a FYI). So it wasn't as peaceful sitting outside as we hoped for. The Tiki Hut is cute and has a TV out there, so that was a plus. It does get extremely hot in the afternoon and to hot to sit out there because the sun does shine in there at the latter part of the day.The home inside was beautifully decorated, but there are no chairs to sit on. The couches are comfy to lay on but to big and overstuffed to sit on for any length of time. If you're there a week it might not be an issue, but we stayed a month. No dining chairs only benches and again not very comfy. The bed was extremely comfortable and roomy. They have quality linens and towels. The kitchen has mostly everything you need. It did not have the coffee, creamer, sugar, paper products, bottle water that it said it would. No baking sheets, storage containers for leftover foods, hot pads or broom (a Swiffer duster, but that doesn't get up crumbs), so things to bring if you think you need them. It comes with 2 bikes, which we had a lot of fun riding around, especially the park close by. My husband did have to replace one of the tires but they were kind enough to reimburse us for that. The owners are very nice and nice to deal with. If you're coming for only a week some of things might not matter and would not effect your stay. But for the extended stay and the price we paid it did for us
