Garage was messy! But all in all good

715 Ariola was perfect for our large family. Cherie was very accommodating. This house has been lived in and feels welcoming. Do not expect a perfect, pristine atmosphere. This place is made for fun. The location is ideal and the amenities are perfect for families and kids.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing! The house is split between the main house and a separate mother in law suite. This made it perfect for hosting two families and the bottom level does not have any steps - so great for anyone with mobility issues. The house is exactly as the pictures show. We were here all week for our wedding, and the house was perfect for hosting many families from afar! The fenced in backyard and pool was perfect for kids. You have beautiful views of the gulf and direct access to the walkway to the beach! The house is perfectly decorated as well- we had our photographer use this as the backdrop while getting ready, and the pictures turned out beautifully! Also, communication with the host was incredible- extremely responsive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic property host and communication - she was excellent! Very responsive and kind. However compared to other properties we have rented every year for years in beach home rentals this home has seen much better days. My guests had bad backs all week from the worn mattresses, only one side of toaster worked, available pots and pans to feed everyone where unusable/broken/old, main sink faucet barely worked. Poor water pressures in showers. There is simply not enough baths in a beach home to supply its listed ability to house 30. it’s is an older home but those are low cost fixable issues that need replacements. A door from outdoors did not close upon arrival causing guests not able to assess inside garage/ the main entrance to the ‘main home’ during tropical storm causing my guests to walk outside to inside for a simple cup of coffee in am during extraordinary high winds and rain)…again great response from owner promptly sent out her handyman same day to evaluate however my guests were told by said handyamn to use another door (outside vs inside during a tropical storm). We made the best of it but the layout of this home was difficult and it needs alot of cosmetic and simple fixes). I would rent from this owner again but not this home or from Vrbo, as the online pictures of this home made it look perfect (obviously photos taken years ago) but the condition upon arrival of the home was disappointing, especially for the very high price paid), sorry to say but truth.
