While the deck looks great from the water and in the pictures, it is literally crumbling everywhere. The deck boards are similar to the ocean waves and the pickets are falling apart. Forget about sitting on the upper deck adjacent to the master bedroom, it is not safe for even the smallest child. Everyone who stayed or visited tripped on the dilapidated deck boards and the same for the flooring inside the house. I should have listened to the previous reviews regarding the cleanliness. While it appeared clean on first blush, only the immediate surfaces have ever been dusted. The bathrooms were so outrageously dirty, we had to go to the store and buy bleach, a mop and paper towels we could throw away after cleaning the gobs of nasty hair and dirt left on the walls, floors and sinks in both upstairs bathrooms. Even worse than the crumbling deck, floors and walls, the air conditioning only worked upstairs in the two guest bedrooms. The house never cooled below 85 degrees on the hottest days of the year during the 4th of July. We had to spend a small fortune on fans just to be able to tolerate the soaring heat. If you plan to allow your children to swim in this area - forget it! It is not safe for anyone to swim in the canals here. The boat traffic is not only voluminous, but constant. We were even concerned about putting kayaks in the water the boat traffic was so heavy. Good luck finding the place upon arrival as there is no street sign to indicate the direction of the townhouse. I highly suggest renting elsewhere. I would never consider staying in this run down, unkempt hot box.
