Overall our family had a good time and the space provided met our needs away from home. The home is sleek and bright, with a natural style and all white color palette. You will need to keep this in mind if you're traveling with children; we did our best to keep the space clean by covering the white furniture with sheets or towels. We were thankful for the fully equipped kitchen, which was well used as we preferred to make meals at home. We were a party of 15 and Ruth kindly supplied us with an additional air mattress; I think everyone was comfortable for the short amount of time we stayed.

The check-in process could have gone a little smoother. There are two entry doors: one is a gate that opens into the front "court", the other is the house front door. We thought we were provided clear communication on how to correctly operate the front gate, but struggled with it for some time after our 6 hour drive that day before the host cleared up the instructions. Ruth stayed on the phone with us to make sure everything went okay with the lockbox on the front door; we entered the code without a problem, only to find the key was not in the lockbox. The host raced back to the house to give us the key, but it was still another hour wait to get inside. Difficulties aside, the host remained responsive to our calls and messages as needed which was a relief.
A feature of the home which we were not made aware of in the listing is the alarm system. The host, when not hosting, lives in the home and uses an alarm system for open doors and windows. Not knowing this upon arrival, and hearing the voice and sound notifications, we attempted to turn off the alarm system which inadvertently armed it. The next time someone opened a door, the alarm was tripped and we spent an hour or so with the host, trying to figure out how to turn it off. Once we were given the disarm code and everything was set right, we were left with a very loud notification system which chimed and spoke every time a door or window was opened. Of the features of the home, we liked this the least.
The smoke detectors worked great. We loved the little extras like the slippers, robes, and bottled soaps. The host thoughtfully provided some apple cider and treats in the center of the island. The pool toys were perfect, and we felt the home was in a great location to stores, coffee, the beach, and the theme parks. All in all, we had a comfortable time.
