The house was clean, very well-stocked, and decorated nicely (loved the Christmas tree!). The fenced yard and lift were huge pluses, and the large deck was fantastic. Beach access for golf carts wasn't far. The only thing that would have made our stay absolutely perfect would have been direct access to the fenced area for the dogs, like our last rental, so I wouldn't have had to take them up and down so much. Would definitely rent again. Highly recommend!
