Pros:
1. Gordon is a very responsive host. He will accommodate any reasonable request within very few hours.
2. The king mattress in the master bedroom is comfortable and it provides a good rest. We spent 4 nights.
3. The kitchen has an industrial sink with a garbage disposal, which made it easy to prewash and rinse anything. The dishwasher is quiet, and it has an express cycle for less than dirty dishes. Could be better maintained by using a Finish cleaner though - FL has very hard water that stains.
4. The three TVs are smart, Samsung and Roku make it easy to connect to Netflix, Prime, or whatever else you like watching. There is reliable internet, with a very intricate password on the side of the router. Screen time is however not why we travel to Florida.
5. Plenty of chairs could easily accommodate 4 people. There were only 2 of us, which made everything seem even more spacious.
6. Check the weather before you book. We had warm, breezy, beautiful sunny days in December. Yet sometimes, it rains.
7. Village Green, where the house is located, is a very peaceful and well maintained neighborhood. Easy parking, wildlife abounds (birds, lizards, squirrels etc)
Cons:
1. The sofa in the living room was very uncomfortable. Pillowy, microfiber covered, very magnetic to pet hair from previous use. We had a lint roller with us and we used it a lot.
2. Quite the opposite to the very nice and clean house, the Weber gas grill was filthy and disgusting, my husband wouldn’t go anywhere near it. We finally found the grill scraper in the garage on the last morning, on our way out. Given that we had planned to grill... some fresh fish had to be thrown out unfortunately. We ate out.
3. Some of the many towels still seemed dirty after being washed. Perhaps future guests could use something other than white towels on their pets. We were provided with fresh towels upon request.
All in all, we had a wonderful time in a safe environment during the crazy coronavirus pandemic. Would not hesitate to return!
