We have stayed in the same area as last year so we had an idea what it was going to be like. It was great that the pool was just behind our garage, and a quick run and we were on the board walk by the marina. We are not far from the beach at all - so this became a daily running routine. The house was great, with aircon on all rooms so the hot weather did not bother us at all. The bedrooms had great beds, great pillows, and the kitchen was well equipped. It would've been nice if there were ready supplies for dishwashing liquid and dishwasher tablets - and a coffee plunger! I missed all of these three items - a must I believe:) Other than that, everything was at hand - it was good to have access to a hand held vacuum cleaner to maintain the floors. Our favourite is the massive couch - we all got to rest and relax without being on top of each other. We loved the big dining table, and so convenient to have a washing machine and dryer and a working dishwasher!!
