We had an amazing time in this house for spring break. Looks just like the pictures. The electric golf cart (with secure seat belts) was so fun to zip around town to restaurants, shopping, groceries, you name it. The beach was a very short walk. Gated neighborhood felt very safe. We had the pool heated mid visit and management responded very quickly to any requests. Very clean and cozy. The door to the second kitchen pictured is locked, but we didn't need it. Some maybe water damage to one of the main floor bathrooms. My family loved it, highly recommend.
