We enjoyed our stay at The Grant House. Very unique private home and waterfront property that offers plenty of space inside and out, pool for cooling off, dock for boat, and great fishing right at your back door. We had party of 11. The fully self-contained downstairs 1 bedroom apartment overlooking pool and river was hangout for Grandma and Grandpa. Living room also has pull out couch bed. The 2nd floor has separate outside entrance with kitchen, living room, bath, and large patio/balcony over pool. Includes plenty of sleeping space with 1 bedroom for parents, day bed and pullout for the 4 children. And the 3rd floor was an extra fun space for the 3 teens who were loving their Penthouse arrangement. Once you get up the rather small stairs to the 3rd floor, there is a small, covered porch and inside it is surprisingly large. Divided into two rooms, sleeping 4 or 5 and a bathroom (toilet, sink and shower). Just a note, the 3rd floor stairs are outside on the 2nd floor balcony, therefore, to exit the home, you must come through the 2nd floor sliding glass doors where the parents are, making it perfect for our grandteens. The outside property has fenced in yard, plenty of parking, large, covered area extending over half the pool which keeps water cool and prevents over burning from the beautiful Florida sun. Lawn chairs available to place in sunny spots or covered areas with tables by the pool. There is a covered grill station next to the dock with rocking lawn chairs to enjoy the breezy waterfront. Plus bonus washer and dryer upstairs and down stairs.
Clearly this is older home and maybe everything is not perfect. But I paid to be on the water with a pool, not looking for every flaw in the home. We had no major problems and certainly can live with the small stuff that is just part of wear and tear of rentals. I referred to the manager anything I noticed that would be helpful to the owner. Example: water facet hose leaks on the dock. We would have turned it off but could not because it was broken.
The grandchildren spent plenty of time in the pool, fishing, and just handing out enjoying themselves. And the adults did the same. This is a wonderful place to take a little time to relax and be together with family or friends for a few days. We appreciate you for sharing your home! We hope to return again soon!
Thank you!
