Uncle Louie's Gulf Coast Retreat w/ Outdoor Oasis!

Reviews

• Nice rental

  4/5

  Nice house close the beaches. House was well stocked and the inside was very clean on arrival. Nice washer and dryer for use. Downside- The lawn needed mowed and the pool was not cleaned the whole week. Queen size bed was not comfortable and noisy. Otherwise had a great stay at the house.

• Great yard and pool!

  4/5

  The backyard/pool area was exactly as pictured- maybe better. Clean place with everything we needed.

• Loved our stay

  5/5

  We arrived late in evening and were a bit nervous about being in the middle of a neighborhood but fell in love. Quaint place with old Florida vibes. Excellently stocked!

• Great for traveling with your pet

  4/5

  The unit was supposed to be available at 3:00pm. When we arrived at 4:30pm it still was not ready. We waited another 20 minutes for the cleaning crew to finish. Entered the rental to completely wet floors and a running dryer. The home is a great space with a fenced in yard and a pool. Great for us as we were traveling with our dog. Large kitchen and dining area with most of the things you need to cook your own meals. Could use a few more serving pieces though. Bedroom 1 had a king sized bed(2 twins pushed together). Bed was absolutely horrible with a 4-5” drop between the 2 adjacent mattresses. Ended up switching bedrooms in the middle of the night because it was so uncomfortable. Bedroom 2 had a queen sized bed. Comfortable if you like softer beds. We had access to a washer and dryer which is always a plus. Unfortunately the dryer was packed with the laundry from the previous occupants. This meant I had to unload the full dryer in order to dry my own things. There was no place to put it so ended up on the floor until I was done. Then I had to put it back in the dryer. Outdoors had a screened in porch which was great for sitting in and a pool. Did not swim but sat around the pool during the day. A very comfortable place to stay with several restaurants and grocery stores close by.

• Good but could be better

  4/5

  Arrived at 4:30 pm for a 3:00 check in and the house was not ready. After 20 more minutes waiting in the car we could finally get in. Floors were still all wet and the dryer was running with a full load in it. Took the bedroom with the king bed in it and it was horrible. Could not spend the night on it because it was so bad. There is a 5” dip from where one mattress ends to the other. Very uncomfortable. Queen bed in the other room was better but would have been a big problem if we had someone else with us. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need for cooking your own meals. Fenced in yard was great for a pet owner and the pool was very well taken care of. Several chairs and chaises to spend time by it. The screened in porch was also a nice place to spend evenings when the mosquitoes came out. Laundry was great to have but had the previous occupants laundry still in the dryer so I had to move it in order to dry my own clothes. No where to put those so they went onto the floor and then back into the dryer afterwards. Great location as there are many restaurants and grocery stores nearby. A good house for a last minute stay.
