Does what it says on the tin!

We have just returned from a short break and the house was as described and perfect for our needs (family, with boys aged 12,9,6). The house is situated in what seems to be the original part of Bonita Springs, and is more individual than the 'cookie cutter' homes on PUD's. It is ideally suited to trips to beach and on the waterways, with downstairs bathroom and Laundry, plus shower to clean up in, fantastic pool and lanai. We were concerned that being unheated the pool would be too cold for the kids, but even at the end of October this was no problem.
The house is situated on a waterway, so would also be perfect for boat users. For us the best part was being around 10 min drive (you could cycle in 20) from both Barefoot Beach and the Delnor Wiggins Pass state park beaches, for which beach chairs and a parasol plus cooler were provided.
The local area has some shopping and a 7-11 within easy walking distance, which is unusual in most of the US in my experience!
There was also superfast wireless broadband (remember to bring laptop), free calls across USA, and cards and board games plus a TV and DVD player available for any rainy days (fortunately none for us).
Although mentioned fully in the advert, we did not appreciate that the 3rd Bedroom is downstairs and approached by an External staircase only. It was not a problem for a 12 year old, but may be a concern to families with younger children. It would be ideal with teenagers or 2 couples. The separate 1 bedroom apartment was unoccupied during our stay.
All the instructions we needed were provided, so we had no need to contact the owners until departure day, but sorting out the contract and payments with them was very easy!
