Long weekend for family time!

House was adorable and fully stocked with everything one could need. Golf cart was a fun addition!! The only issue we had was with the hundreds/thousands of mosquitoes all around property which required us to get two foggers at the grocery store. Also, a couple of live roaches were in the downstairs part of house (bedroom/bath areas) which required a separate trip to grocery to buy roach spray. I felt like the property management/owner should have done a better job ( especially with terrible mosquito problem/presence) before any renters’ arrival. Other than this, house was wonderful! Very close to grocery store and not far from beach. It is quite close to the ferry as well.
