The rules appear overly strict, but if I owned a house this gorgeous, I would want renters to respect it too, so that it stayed pristine. The pool was wonderful, and we didn't pay for the heater since the days were in the 90's; but you may want it if the nights are cool. The water level is shallow at the dock, but if you want a pontoon boat, the marina is at the end of the channel. There are pedal boats, a canoe,a kayak, and a paddle board provided that we enjoyed in the channel. The WiFi is slow, so it was not reliable for work but adequate for non-essential communication. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes so that we only had to run the dishwasher once a day. The beds were plush and so comfortable. This is a quiet, secluded place that was perfect for our family to celebrate our 50th anniversary.
