Wonderful Week!
Beautiful, brand new home! We had a great with lots of time spent in the pool/hot tub and playing golf/ping pong. House very well appointed and even better than the pictures show. We had a good time playing billiards and using the arcade game too. The beach wagon with chairs was used often! Outdoor patio with firepit, TV, grill was great too. We especially liked the push button drawer on the microwave and the power closing blinds!
We had a couple of minor maintenance issues and those were fixed same day. We had a wonderful stay and would stay again in a heartbeat.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sweet Spot. The pictures are true to life. The furnishings (mattresses, pillows, chairs, couches, plates, cookware, etc.) were top notch and much better than what we have come to expect from other VRBO stays. Our family particularly enjoyed the pool/hot tub and then warming up by the outdoor fireplace while watching a movie. As with any VRBO stay, minor issues will arise (because no house or stay is ever perfect), but the management company was very quick to respond and address. In fact, they went above and beyond what we had asked.

Beautiful House
The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. The pool and hot tub were perfect and the beach was only a 5 minute walk. We walked with two toddlers and two infants a couple of days and it was easy especially with the wagon in the garage. Loved the location, it was quiet and we could walk either direction to restaurants or stores. We really couldn't have asked for a better house to stay at for the week. Only minor things to mention, there is no bathroom on the lower pool level (slightly annoying when wet from swimming to trek upstairs) and the security alarms for the doors going to the pool are extremely annoying. We didn't mind that they had them as it did give us some peace of mind with toddlers in the house, but the button was about 6 feet in the air and you only had 10 seconds to get through the door, which makes it extremely hard to be carrying anything in your hands and get the door open and closed in time. We got used to it by the end of the week, but something to keep in mind as I don't think an average 10 year old would be able to reach the button and therefore couldn't go in an out without an adult. Overall, we loved the house and are already talking about renting it again next year.
