Our host Ray met us at the house and walked us through it to familiarize us with the house. It was alarge, beautiful home as described and proximal to the beach and the canals, as quoted. Although the neighborhood was edgy in some areas, and didn't have much land cushioning the house from neighboring homes, and some of the pots and pans could have used replacing, we enjoyed the location and ease of travel to the local Whole Foods and shopping district. The house proved to be fairly quiet and quite comfortable w full kitchen and laundry room on second floor. Overall, it was a stylishly beautiful, clean and tidy house upon our arival and we tried to leave it the same upon our departure, loading the dishwasher w any remaining dirty dishware and laundry with all our used towels.
