My extended family rents a house on the water to celebrate the holidays together each year. This house was the best we’ve had so far, in terms of house layout and space to be together inside. We were able to have family meals and play board games at the dining room table and there was enough seating in the living area for people to gather. We also had a great time hanging out by the dock while some of us fished (they caught some perch, catfish, and mangrove snappers thanks to the brackish water). The bedroom setup worked perfectly for us. Only small hiccup was one of the bedrooms looks like a converted office or den and there is a large window and frosted glass doors looking into the kitchen that allowed a lot of light in that room. Because some of us went to bed earlier than others, we figured out how to cover the top window with a sweater to block the worst of the light. Might be helpful for a more permanent solution to be figured out for others, but we made it work. The house is well supplied with laundry supplies, towels for bathrooms and outside, etc. A few more dish towels and washcloths for bathrooms would have been helpful. We were excited to use the kayaks, but the weather prevented that (chilly and windy) but the floating dock was well situated to put kayaks in (for those with some mobility issues,it would be harder). Communication with host was great, she was very responsive and friendly.
