Lou was a very nice and friendly host. The check in and check out process was very smooth and went off without a hitch. Personally we feel that the house (nightly rate) was overpriced by quite a bit, however. We were most concerned with the cleanliness (especially the kitchen where the coffee filter had not been emptied and was full of mold [it must have been left uncleaned for days]). We spent some time re-cleaning most of the cutlery and kitchen area (fatty stains were seen everywhere under the top kitchen cabinets near the cook top). The location of the house is good and we were able to reach the beach (Pompano) in about 5-7 minutes drive. It was nice to sit in the backyard in the mornings/evenings to enjoy the rising/setting sun. However, the overall experience usually deteriorated quickly due to the fact that the neighboring three houses across the small waterway had about 7 large dogs that would bark constantly in the morning and evening hours (not to mention do their “business”, which was not a nice sight to see whilst eating). Overall we weren’t overly impressed with the property and (as stated above) found it to be overpriced by quite a large margin.
