We arrived the evening of the 29th around 10:30pm. After a day of loading a truck with furniture, I knew it would feel good to sit and relax. We chose bedrooms and did some unpacking. The house felt very warm... not in tempurature, but it had a warmth to it. Very welcoming. We were going to put something in the garage, but discovered the game room. That was a great surprise. I did fix the sliding door to the patio which was easy, but the alarm was set for something like 15 seconds, which wasn't really long enough. But we worked with it. I can understand the cover over the thermostat because I have been through A/C problems before and thought it was a good idea. The house was clean and very neat. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were roomy. We did find one or two bugs in the house so I think maybe an exterminator may be in order. I guess in the south they are called palmetto bugs, but in Ohio, we have a much different name for them. But since there were only two we didn't get too concerned about them. We were permitted free calls in the US which was a great deal. Even though we only made one phone call to a local restaurant, free calls is a real plus when the cell service is so bad in that area. The kitchen is large with lots of counter space which was a plus. The dining table was big enough for us and there was ample seating at the counter. Overall, the house was clean, comfortable and perfect for the 8 of us. And the price was excellent. I would definitely rent it again.

Owner's Response: Dear David,
Thank you so much for your nice review. Your feedback is appreciated; this is how we improve our guests' stay. Yes, the palmetto bugs are prevalent in Florida; that's why we exterminate monthly inside and out.
Cell phone service does vary, according to provider. We have found Verizon is excellent in our area and, as you found out, there is free local and long distance service on the house phone. Thanks again for staying with us and we will be happy to host your vacation again . Sincerely, Art Lauer
