I have rented several homes in Florida before, and this one is by far the winner. Best house, location, and owner communication. The owner text a week before with a list of supplies they had at the house and a list of starter supplies, which was so helpful. Our check-in time was not until 3 o’clock, however I received a text stating we could check in at noon because the cleaning crew was finished early! Once we got to the house it was extremely clean, bright, well decorated and beautiful views of the ocean. I was not sure if we could walk across the street to the beach through what looks like empty lots. I text the owner and asked and they responded within minutes that they have deeded beach access, so you’re able to walk right through to access the beach, which was very convenient. Be on the lookout for friendly dolphins. We encountered three dolphins on different days, and it swam around us for a long time just hanging out. This was the highlight of our trip. The backyard has everything. Big pool, hot tub, plenty of covered outdoor seating to watch TV and an outdoor bathroom! The garage had so many activities (arcade games, connect four, darts, air hockey, ring and hook game). They also have tons of beach chairs, beach toys, outdoor games like spike ball, beer pong, wagons, boogie board, swim goggles). If you can think of it, they have it! The beach was quiet. It was like our own private beach. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely come back to the ice house!
