We just needed a place to sleep, as we were visiting with a large group and doing most meals/hanging out at their house. This was a cute and comfortable place to rest at a great price. We were skeptical of the window air conditioning units, but within a couple hours of being cranked up, they had the house nice and cool (and kept up even in very hot weather). I will say the house is very minimally furnished; rooms could be a little more functional with a few more basic touches (e.g. towel rods/hooks, a few extra towels, nightstands/ shelving -- especially in the room with no closet, as there was literally nowhere to put our stuff but the bed or the floor). Unfortunately, due to the marshlike surroundings and some recent rains, the mosquitos were a nightmare, so we weren't able to enjoy the outdoor space. But the swings below the deck are really nice and would be fun under better conditions.
