It would be nice if renters could easily find info on Third Coast when doing research. I would have been interested in renting directly instead of through third party.It was a bit weird to not have curtains in almost any room especially bathrooms. There is some maintenance needing done to the home as it looked like there was water damage areas. I would have liked for the outdoor use areas to have been cleared of debris. The couches in the living area need replaced and some more seating so more guests staying could sit together to hang out would be nice. Otherwise great stay and great location.

We went to Farmette for coffee, Journeymans distillery, followed with golf at Welter's Folly and hiked at Warren Dunes State Park.
