We just finished a one month stay here. The kitchen is well outfitted. If you need it, it's likely there somewhere. The house is definitely as pictured and the description is accurate. If you like being close to everything, this will do the trick. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard. There is a canal and we actually saw a couple of dolphins and a couple of manatee (on separate occasions). There are a couple of kayaks at the house, but please note there are NO life jackets if that's something that is important to you. Brooke was incredibly responsive and everyone we worked with from Beachside VR was friendly and helpful.

Good location, fairly active street, quiet though at night, nice updated interior, kitchen had a lot of great stuff to use, AC good and backyard for our dog was great! Super responsive and helpful. Laundry good, bring your own detergent , which is noted in listing. Beds were ok for our group. All in all great experience!
