Even if the place had been a dump, that screened in front porch would have made everything alright. However, the house was perfect! It rained three of the four days that we were there and it was still one of the best vactions that I've had. The beach was beautiful (with the exception of the crazy amounts of jellyfish, but we knew that there was a jellyfish warning before we left home.) It was hard to swim with all the jellyfish in the water, but even that didnt dampen the fun. It's a great beach for finding shells, for enjoying a quite layout, and for catching crabs (and letting them go, of course.)
We cooked some great meals in the kitchen, the bedrooms and livingroom were all super comfortable, and the bathrooms/tub/showers were great! The outside shower was the best though.
I would highly recommend this house to anyone, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. I can tell you that I will dream about that porch every single day... the awesome gulf breeze, no bugs, rain or shine, morning or night, it was heavenly. Thanks for a great vacation!!
