Valeria's place is a wonderful place to stay for a larger group of people! Plenty of comfortable beds. There's only two fully private rooms, the king room and double queen room downstairs - which definitely wasn't a problem for us, but I figure it'd be good for others to know. The master bedroom, loft, and other upstairs room are all open to each other to a certain extent, no doors separate them from each other.
The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc... but definitely bring your own spices if you are planning to cook (including salt and pepper, unless someone before you left it behind). The kitchen cabinets were made for tall people - short people beware.
You'll have to buy toilet paper and paper towels too.
The grill was AMAZING. We made sure to clean it afterwards.
The pool is a salt water pool - I think. No chlorine. It was extremely nice. It is smaller in person than it appears in the pictures, but it was wonderful all the same. I love the little beach area, you can lie in and out of the water at the same time. The jacuzzi is not a hot tub as described, but the jets are sometimes warm from the sun, so it feels warmer than the pool when you first turn them on.
Everything was clean as it should be for a Florida house near the beach. Not five star level clean, but definitely clean and well taken care of.
My FAVORITE part of the whole house was the master bathroom. Renting this place was almost worth it just for that bathroom. The master shower has a rain shower head with perfect pressure and a regular shower head - you can have them on at the same time or separately. The tub is glorious and stays hot forever. The shower stays hot forever too, good for long showers. That bathroom was magical.
You can walk to downtown in 5-10 min (depending on where), which is great! And the drive to the beach is quick.
The Tuesday night of our stay we were too loud outside by the pool a little bit after midnight and it upset the neighbors - understandably so. Valeria texted me to let us know that there is a 10 pm noise ordinance as it is a residential area. I'm happy she was able to communicate that to us so quickly. From then on we were inside after 10 pm, or we'd only let a couple of us sit quietly by the pool.
Valeria is quick to respond to any communication and gets right to the point.
All in all, it was a wonderful stay.
