The house is 2.5 blocks from the beach, but on a green quiet street; very pleasant. The deck and back yard are an oasis. However, first VRBO house were we were forbidden to use any beach chairs or boogie boards--? The internet did not work at all--the realtor group fixed that; that was frustratingly, though,for one member who had to work remotely. One rents VRBO houses for location, privacy and the capacity to cook. (Otherwise we could have gone to a hotel!) The coffee pot died mid visit and there were missing cooking utensils, like cutting boards, splatter screens, sharp knifes, a working peeler, and graters, as partial list. The realtor group was very responsive and I hope all these smaller details can be resolved. Very nice Florida house---good support from realtor managing group
