The house was beautiful and the pool was great! We enjoyed the view from the front porch and the nice breeze in the evenings. We chose this location to have water access and be near NOLA for a day trip. If you're looking for a beachy beach or swimming water this isn't it. It's very shallow waaay out then you start to sink. So no swimming, no waves, no normal "beach vacation" experience. If we had done more research as far as the water and beach goes we would have probably stayed elsewhere. Not the home owners fault! The home was beautiful and spacious, well equipped with bedding. It needed a few repairs but nothing we couldn't live with, except we were pretty disappointed the jacuzzi tub didn't work. It did have an elevator but we didn't know how to use it or if it worked so we hauled everything up the stairs since we arrived in the middle of the night. It had very minimal tp and trash bags, not sure if there was any paper towels to begin with, no plastic wrap or foil and no tupperware to store food... Just a few things we had to immediately go out and get. This was our first VRBO experience so maybe this is normal. Overall, it was a beautiful home in a good centralized location. We drove 1hr to NOLA, 35 min to Biloxi and 3 hr to Navarre Beach FL. Communication with the host was great and check in was easy, even arriving in the middle of the night.
