Summary: We stayed here because our first host cancelled on and ghosted us, but I'm so glad this is where we ended up! Our host was very responsive and even kindly let us drop off our bags earlier than check in. The house was cozy and well thought-out in ways I find other places lacking (nightstands for each person, plenty of places to sit or set items, plethora of easily located plugs for electronics, more than enough kitchen utensils). Instructions were very clear and sent early enough to have on hand. We didn't have to worry about odd instructions having to do with cleaning (and the place was very clean!!). We only had one mini van, but parking overall would easily accommodate 4 vehicles. Our host also was helpful with restaurant recommendations. There was also a Publix within walking distance. Really the only thing I would change would be having an extra towel and blanket or two available.We came down for the beach and escape rooms, and had a great time. Thank you so so much!
