• Everything you need in a great place.

  5/5

  The property was clean, comfortable, and well stocked.Beyond the basics, this place was above and beyond. We were welcomed with a welcome basket as we walked in that had bath/body/hygiene/laundry/etc. item. There was a welcome booklet with all info needed for the property, surrounding areas, emergency info, and much more. All of this alone, made the transition extremely easy.The kitchen was stocked with every possible utensil, pot, Tupperware, and seasoning that you needed. There was also a bag of ice in the freezer for us. The washer/dryer were very nice, efficient, and quick. There was a plethora of towels/etc.The garage had all beach equipment needed-for all ages-must items had duplicates so each kid had their own set of items. This place is large, it has a nice amount of space! We would definitely stay again!!

• Expected better :(

  1/5

  This house was not cleaned very well, in the master bedroom the mattress is very old the quality is very bad it has indents and the pillows were also uncomfortable. As well as stains there was hair on the bedding and hair in the bathtub. The house especially the garage had a weird smell very similar to ant/insect killing bait which makes sense because we had to deal with multiple cockroaches crawling around

  Hi Larysa, Thank you for your comments. We take it seriously when guests let us know we’ve missed the mark. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they asked us to pass along the following:
  - We’re sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations. The mattress and pillows were purchased two years ago as part of regular updates, and we were assured of their quality. That said, we appreciate your feedback and will be adding a mattress topper to enhance comfort.
  - We regret that the cleaning fell short. While we haven’t had issues in the past, we understand this was disappointing. In response, we’ve hired a new professional cleaning and management company and are conducting a full deep clean of the condo.
  - We were informed that a mid-stay cleaning was offered by the previous management team, though we understand it was declined.
  - Regarding pests, Florida’s climate can unfortunately attract insects. We use regular, eco-friendly pest control services to avoid harsher chemicals, but we will increase the frequency of treatments to help prevent future issues.
  - As for the odor in the garage, we’ve learned it was caused by mothballs placed by the former management company. These have now been removed, and the garage is scheduled for pressure washing as part of our deep cleaning efforts.
  We truly appreciate your feedback—it helps us continue to improve and support the homeowner in delivering the 5-star experience they’re known for.

• Perfect getaway….perfect location

  5/5

  This property was exactly as represented and was just like home for comfort and functionality!! Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Beautiful private lanai with occasional sightings of bunnies in the backyard.Easily accessed Tamiami highway which connects to all things Florida!! We used the pool several days. Very clean area with plenty of loungers. Will definitely book this property again!

• nice area grounds

  2/5

  The condo association is kept up nicely and the grounds are very quiet and pleasing to the eye. The pool area is beautiful with plenty of chairs and a nice hot tub. This had the potential to be a great place for our 3 week vacation, but it did not turn out that way. Although at first glance the condo looked clean, but the floors had not been washed in a very long time and the windows on the outside were so bad we could hardly see out of them.

  We spent the first day washing the floors and washing the outside of the windows to make it much more pleasant. The appliances and kitchen as well as the washer and dryer need to be updated, but we knew that from previous reviews. The worst part for us was that the pool heater was broken and the temp. of the water was 70-72 the entire time. We complained to the management, but we got no where with them. I feel they should of given us the option of going somewhere else or at least some compensation since this was the main attraction for the complex. They did not even apologize but instead said the HOA was in charge not the owners. (doesn't HOA stand for Home Owners Association?)

  My wife and I like to swim laps in the mornings so we chose this place because of the nice large pool.

  Guess we will look for another place next year.

  Hi Thomas, Thanks for sharing your feedback—we’re sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations. Providing a clean, comfortable space is a top priority, and we appreciate the chance to address your concerns:
  - We've spoken with our local team to ensure the floors meet our high cleanliness standards moving forward.
  - Window maintenance falls under the HOA’s jurisdiction, and we’ve shared your concerns with them to help improve the overall experience.
  - We’re sorry the pool temperature wasn’t ideal during your stay. Since it’s a community amenity, repairs are managed by the HOA, but a new compressor has been ordered. Unfortunately, as a non-board member, the homeowner has no control over the repair timeline.
  - While a full renovation isn’t feasible, we ensure our listing photos accurately represent the space. We appreciate your positive remarks and will continue making regular updates to enhance our guests' experience.
  Your feedback helps us improve. We’d love the chance to host you again so you can experience the updates firsthand!
  Thanks for letting us know about your stay!
