Nice Property

The best feature was 3 separate king bedrooms. Also liked the close proximity to old town....only 5 minute drive.The front entry step needs a railing for safety purposes. The place could use shades for windows a d front door to replace the sagging curtains. Road noise can be an issue

Pluses and minuses.

Great location, can walk to Publix and brewery/restaurants downtown but next to very busy road. Nice to have a kitchen and kitchenette but you have to walk thru a bedroom to get to main kitchen which doesn't have a oven but has hot plate/microwave. microwave.
