Late summer stay 2019 - second time at this property
This was our second time staying at this property (see review from May 2018) and again we very much enjoyed this house. This time we had 12 adults and again we were very comfortable in this house - it looks very deceiving from the outside but it is quite roomy inside. Love the location, the house is right on the beach. The hot tub has been replaced and the new one is quite nice. Brand new grill as well. Nina was incredibly responsive as she was last trip and as others have highlighted in their reviews. A key difference from this trip is that this home has seen some significant wear and tear, likely from Hurricane Michael. The flooring is damaged in a few places and has been screwed down where it is warped. We had issues with the AC this year - the distribution of cool air in each room was very uneven and hard to fix/manage. One of the washing machines were in pieces inside the house. One of the toilets ran all the time. The outdoor shower is no longer. And the hose to wash your feet off from the sand was busted - the handyman stopped by and took it, but didn’t replace it. We ended up moving one we found off the front of the house to the back. These weren’t things that majorly impacted our vacation, but key points that the owners may wish to address. I gave 5 stars during our last trip and that was well deserved, but given the condition of the house this year and the fact that the cost per night was higher (and I’ll fully recognize these were different times of the year, spring off season vs fall off season), I’ve given 4 stars for the stay.
