WHERE DO I BEGIN??? Everything was perfect - the house, the location, the weather!!! My husband, daughter & I were on vacation with our son & daughter-in-law & their 4 children in mid-October & we all had plenty of space to relax & unwind! The house is beautifully decorated, everything is clean & the beds are so comfy & the kitchen/dining room provided room for everyone to sit down & eat together, which is often hard when you have a large group! !! The kitchen is a cook's dream - with plenty of mixing bowls, utensils, pot & pans to use - plus ample glasses, plates, bowls & silverware!! And the lay-out of the floor plan is open & inviting...it is just all-around wonderful!!! Vicki & David provided so many extras that we had never had at other houses - washing powder, dishwasher tabs, coffee, paper products, PLENTY of bath towels, etc - plus an over-abundance of beach toys, chairs, a cooler, etc. Probably the coolest surprise was the fridge/cooler that is located in the basement - which was the perfect place to stock our drinks of choice - it is kept at a very cool temp so the drinks are always perfect - this was my husband's & son's favorite feature! HA The pictures do not give justice to how beautiful this house is & where it is located! We had "our" beach to ourselves every day & felt as though we were in paradise! The older girls would often walk over to the beach side every day & enjoy it but mostly we stayed on the bay side. We were able to watch dolphins & stingrays swimming by. We even had a chance to walk down to the pier a couple of times - we were not aware that it is the longest pier in the Gulf - & were amazed how clear the water was almost all the way out to the end (which is 1/2 mile in length). We enjoyed watching the fishermen to see what they were catching!! The sunsets were AMAZING!!! We took full advantage of the balconies & widow's walk to capture the beauty of the area!!! One afternoon, went down to the state park & took some family pix...it was a great photo op with the pier & sunset in the background!!! We even took a ride to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels practice one morning...that was probably one of the neatest things that we did...my grandkids were in awe! And we got to meet the pilots afterwards & got even pix made with a couple of them!! All in all...it was one of the best weeks of my life & I look forward to returning again & again! Thanks, Vicki & David, for sharing your little slice of paradise with us!!!!!
