This was a great beach bungalow for our family of five. First - the location. You could. Or ask for a better location. The house is across the street from the beach, and while you can’t see the beach from the house (due to the $10+ million dollar beachfront homes) beach access is literally one minute away next to the Auberge. This area of beach is fronted by houses, condos and apartments, so there were rarely more than a handful of folks within a couple hundred years a of us. Also close to a ton of amenities and felt perfectly safe for our family of five (kids aged 7, 5 and 3).
The house was perfect size for our family, and we didn’t spend much time inside anyways. The house was very clean when we arrived, not so much when we left (blame the kids!). The best feature of this house is the pool/garage. Pool was warm and crystal clear, and was cleaned twice during our stay. Next to the pool is a garage with games and TV that allowed the kids to hang while we stayed in the pool. We didn’t use the hot tub for more than a couple of minutes but it was very clean as well. One note of caution - the lizards love to climb the tree out back, eat the berries/leaves and then nature calls. My wife got pooped on while we were there! Haha not much you can do about nature.
I was a bit nervous about renting from a company, as we typically rent from private individuals. However, the communication and service from Latitude Key and our concierge, Christina, could not be better.
