Devin, Thank you for your feedback and your review. I am thrilled to hear that you all had great weather and were able to enjoy the proximity that this house is to the beach as well as the private pool. Thank you for letting us know about the pool toys. Typically the pool toys are left by previous guests; we will have someone clean these up. As far as the consumables we do place enough in the unit to get you by until you are able to get to the store and it is noted in the rental agreement as well as the check-in instructions that these items are not included in your stay and are to be purchased by the guest. We would love to be able to supply these items for each guest's vacation but since we are a small company and not a hotel this would be a great deal of money and would raise our unit prices for this service. The prices of the units are based on the timeframe in which you select and with Spring Break being an extremely busy time for the area it does tend to be a more expensive time for a vacation. We appreciate your business and would love to host your next stay in Panama City Beach.

We had to dig deep to think of things that were not optimal, but here is what we came up with. The trash days were noted to be Tuesday and Friday, I think—but they collected on Monday and Friday—it seemed off. However, the can was big enough that it didn’t matter really. We ended up bringing all of our recyclables home with us since we were not sure what to do with them. I would have liked some hooks to hang towels outside and
