The view of the marshes were very calming. The home was comfortable and close to shopping and entertainment.

Nice comfortable home

Very comfortable and peaceful house and neighborhood to stay in

First and foremost, cleanliness is next to godliness for any property, and here the house does not fail. I found the house to be clean, comfortable well equipped, and everything in working order. The house appears outside and in as presented in the description and the photos. All in all, very positive indeed! So, no drawbacks? This is a matter of opinion. I note that most reviews are quite positive, but I did note a few things one might consider nitpicks or issues depending on your point of view. Wall units. In fairness these are disclosed in the description and shown in the photos, but if, like me, you don’t have these at home you may have forgotten how noisy they are. I got used to it despite two of the units running constantly during the week I was there despite being set to 72 degrees. Like I said, I got used to it but you may not. Another reviewer noted a year ago that the sealant around the units is lacking, and a year later I agree. In the master bedroom there were mosquitoes that I suspect got in because the sealing around the wall unit needed attention. I was bitten several times during my stay and had to smack a number of mosquitoes. Now again in fairness, there is a marsh behind the house so mosquitoes are to be expected, but in my view, there were more mosquitoes in the master bedroom upstairs than can be explained by an occasionally opened side door from the kitchen out to the driveway.

This property had a good layout and space for hosting a family group, but the property was not completely prepared for us as guests. The refrigerator was not operating at cooling and freezing temperatures when we arrived and water was leaking out of the bottom of the refrigerator. The window AC units were sealed with packing tape rather than flexible insulation, and the vents from the AC units had mold on them. The outdoor grill had a squirrels nest in it and was unusable. Two of the TV's in the home were not connected to any cable and were not really operable. Other than these issues, the house was generally clean and comfortable.
