Check in was easy and smooth and communication with the rental agency with any concerns and problems (there were a few minor issues) was easy and answered quickly. The house and location were perfect for what we wanted. It was just a short walk out over the private boardwalk to the beach and gulf. While there was no stationary lifeguard in the area, it felt a little better knowing there was a roving lifeguard that would pass through. It felt like a home away from home. The only small issue was the description of the amenities and items included with the rental. The description of what was included was not as extensive as what came with the house (ie, bed sheets, showering towels and washcloths, hand towels, beach chairs, beach toys, etc). If we knew all the items that the owner and rental company provided we would have drastically reduced the amount of items we traveled 2 days with. There was also a beach chair service include with the rental that was not mentioned (that we noticed) prior to us arriving at the house. The house had many items included as well such as dishes, books, games, movies, 2 coffee makers, and the rental agency also had complimentary hotel type (dove) soaps and shampoos which was also a nice touch. We will definitely be back as this was one of the best and easiest vacation rentals we’ve had. Thank you for such a great property.
