The Pros: paradise! The same beach/shells/water as Sanibel without the touristy feeling. The house's location is just as described, mere steps from the ocean. Incredible sunsets. The water is calm and beautiful, and we saw dolphins and tarpon every day. TWICE a manatee swam within 15' of me! We found sand dollars on the sand bar south of the house, but had to go 50 yards offshore to find them. It was an adventure! There are also lots of sea turtle nests staked off up and down the beach.Cons: As others have said, the golf cart fleet desperately needs an upgrade. I will leave it at that. We had ants all over our kitchen, and they got into an unopened donut box and a cereal box before we realized we needed to keep all food on the table. It's an island, so I know it's hard to manage bugs. Speaking of bugs... mosquitos, black gnats, and sand fleas! Bring bug spray. Tips: Use the grocery service. WORTH IT. We rented a boat one day and had a fabulous time. It was hard to nail down the details of the house and what it came with (needs to be listed somewhere so people can plan) but I will tell you that there is a propane grill, coffee pot with carafe AND keurig, mediocre blender, plenty of dishes, silverware, cups, pans,for our party of 10.They provide plenty of kitchen trashbags, the dishwasher does not work well, and there are a ton of beach towels. There are 2 queen rooms on the first floor, and a queen room, master suite, and bunk room on the second floor. The master suite does not have curtains, so while it's incredible to wake up to THE VIEW, be sure to pack a sleep mask if you want to sleep in. The property was gorgeous and well maintained, the staff is friendly, and we would definitely recommend this home/island to anyone! Tip for the welcoming staff - we arrived on a sunday evening in a downpour. We were handed a map, the keys to the house, and pointed to the golf cart and that was it. We had no idea where to go. We found it and had no other
