Wonderful location
The home is lovely and the host is very responsive. We loved the views and especially appreciated all of the items like kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes that were available for our use.
We had an 8 night stay booked and unfortunately due to an incoming tropical storm we were only able to use 2 of the nights. As a midwesterner, I learned the hard way that there is a vast array of possibilities between you have to evacuate for a hurricane and insurance will refund you and it's comfortable and pleasant to use your rental. Projected floodwaters and the probable bog and mosquitos after they receded meant we couldn't comfortably stay at the property with our dog. It was disappointing, not to mention expensive to have to find a new rental property elsewhere in the middle of our vacation. We took the risk, traveling during hurricane season but I share knowing that I didn't realize that it wasn't just a true hurricane that could ruin things.
If you're traveling with a dog(s), there are two things to be aware of: the home shares a driveway with a pet boarding facility and your fur friend may find the barking distracting when outside, and be prepared to protect your dog(s) from mosquito bites in some way. We've never seen the amount or ferocity of mosquitos that descended on our dog, for several hours in the morning and in the evening it was terrible. We could douse ourselves with DEET but we had to scramble to figure out how we could protect our dog when she had to go in the yard.
