Infestation problem

While the house itself was nice inside, the outside left us a bit unsure as we pulled up for the first time. Once in, the nice pool in the pictures needed time to be cleaned up only to find it was unheated and freezing cold. Our kids were unfortunately unable to use it. I wish that had been disclosed prior to renting. There was also an awful ant infestation in the kitchen with ants crawling evening inside the bowls which led us to be uncomfortable even using the kitchen area.

Nice, but....

Overall, a nice place to stay. There were some improvements that could be made. The refrigerator door openings should be reversed. It 's just a couple of screws and 5 minutes and would be VERY helpful getting things in and out. Salt and Pepper might be nice, but not the end of the world. We never did find the kitchen overhead light switch. Still, the beds were comfortable and plenty of pillows. Didn't get to try the pool, but it looked nice and was well maintained.

Nice enough property, close to the beach. Owners may want to give it a fresh coat of paint, update flooring and finish cleaning up Hurricane impacts in the backyard.

Family vacation

First impression was not great. Things could have been cleaned up a bit better outside. The house was nice on the inside. The biggest draw back was the renter that stays in a back part off the house. He was burning things while we were there. It really made me uneasy knowing someone was around there while my kids were swimming.

Family vaca

The property was very roomy and had everything we needed. There there is someone that lives on the property but he does not face the property and does not come around. Just know that if you are a skinny Dipper the pool guy shows up unannounced. We enjoyed the place and would stay there again. It's about a 10-minute drive to Siesta Key Beach in 20 minutes drive to Lido beach. Restaurants are not far but you do need to drive as this is in a residential neighborhood. It was very quiet there.

Overall nice place but a few unusual surprises

My kids and i enjoyed the stay, great pool, nice older florida home, great location. I travel often and was surprised by some of the standard polices of this management company. There were no wash cloths or dish cloths, napkins or paper towels. We only had 1 extra roll of toilet paper aside from the roll in use in both bathrooms. After i took.out the large kitchen trash i discovered the only bags to replace were small can size that fit the small can underthe sink. We were there 3 nights and only 2 dishwasher pods were provided. No laundry detergent is provided and thats understandable but check out instructions ask that you wash the sheets. I normally leave a rental very clean but i had no way to wipe the counters and no way to wash the dishes. I was told after welcome packets are used guests should purchase these things. I did not do that as it would cost a lot to buy toilet paper, handsoap, dish soap, and ex

Ideal Vacation Home

Pros: -Updated, cheerful decor. -Home was very clean. -Varied selection of board games and books. -Pool was well maintained and clean . -Home is less than ten minutes to Siesta Beach. -Close to Supermarkets and coffee. -Quick response from Management when the AC temporarily went out. Cons: -There is a tenant that occupies the adjacent MIL-type space located on the property, so don't be surprised to see a vehicle in the driveway upon arrival. Although we had absolutely no issues with them whatsoever, it was still a bit... close for comfort. -Outdated kitchen cookware and appliances. Almost as if the kitchen space was an afterthought. Knives so dull that they're almost a hazard at this point. Overall, it was a great, clean and well-maintained house, and for the price, we would definitely book again!
