The house was really nice - bohemian and quirky, spacious clean and well equipped. The air con system and fans throughout were efficient and kept the temperature down to a very comfortable level. The pool was clean, warm and with underwater lighting, really good fun day or night.
There were lots of options for sitting out, all of which were really comfortable. However, it is Florida so you need to take precautions to avoid mosquitoes (There were Citronella oil burners available).
The kitchen was well equipped with a big cooker and fridge/freezer and all of the cutlery, crockery and utensils you could want. The utility room had a brilliant washer/drier so we could keep on top of laundry as we went.
The Main TV was huge with a really good range of channels (including movies and Live English Soccer). There seemed to be large TVs in most rooms of the house. The main lounge was spacious and comfortable.
The main bedroom was really nice with a huge bed, which was really comfortable. The en suite shower was great (took a little while for hot water to come through but that seemed more of a quirk than a problem).
The location was great - a nice quiet neighbourhood. We felt very safe (the house has a really good alarm system but it didn’t feel like you needed it). A car was pretty much essential but there were plenty of good shops a short drive away and the beach etc. was a relatively cheap Uber ride away (ca $12 - 15). Miami and the airport were about 30 - 40 mins drive but we didn’t feel the need to go into the City much.
Marcy, the host, was really friendly and welcoming and offered some top tips on places to go. She was quick to respond when we had a question and always very helpful.
All in all, we thought this was a really great place to stay with a marvellous host.
