Felt Misled
Very beautiful, accommodating house with sand and saltwater literally at your back door. Large windows allowing a view of the gulf from nearly any place in the house. The wide verandas provided hours of sights and relaxation.
Unfortunately, Hurricane Milton came along while we were there. While the listing for the house declares that ‘internet is available’, you should know that it is provided by a cell tower somewhere with no more than one bar at the house. Forget accessing your financial apps, YouTube, weather apps, your home’s security system and text/email/phone calls are not reliable. In addition, all TVs in the house are smart TVs, requiring WiFi for their streaming content. There is no WiFi. So, there was no TV. We became very concerned as we were very hungry for information about the hurricane and couldn’t get it. All this should be stated in the house’s description in the listing just as a matter of fairness.
Through text/phone calls to friends/family back home, we were able to get a fair visualization of the hurricane’s activity and decided to stay, rather than evacuate. Our resilience paid off and we made a good week out of it.
