PRO's: This house was very spacious & accommodated our party of 5 adults & 4 children very comfortably. The beach was awesome, near desertion & steps away from the house. The kids loved the gulf waves & picking up the many shells scattered along the shoreline. The pool was small, but the kids loved it on the chilly/cloudy days. We had it heated for the extra charge & it was nice & warm, more like a hot tub. Our blender wasn't working & we called Matt & he had a brand new one quickly delivered. He was very attentive to all our needs & gave us his cell phone # to address any problems or questions we had.
CON's: We loved the unpopulated beach & area, but because of this, there were not very many restaurants close by. If you don't mind driving, there are some good seafood places about 20 min away. There was also some cleaning issues. The couches were soiled, the kitchen needed a good cleaning & the bathroom showers had some mildew. We decided to live with these issues because of a late arrival, a long day of flight travel & a 2 hour drive after we decided to live with this. I have no doubt that Matt would have addressed these issues, but we decided we did not want staff coming into the home to clean once we got established the next day. Another concerning issue was the area's "boil water alert" due to upgrades in the system. Unbeknownst to us, this had gone into effect 2-3 days before we arrived, yet we were not informed until 2 days after we arrived. So unfortunately, we had been using the frig ice & brushing our teeth with the water. None of us had any health issues that we know of, but it would have been nice to have known this.
Despite the cons, we had a great vacation at this beach house, and would return.
