Cute place
The place was cute and comfy. I would offer some suggestions. I would offer a kitchen/hand towel. Some candles, in case of power outage during a tropical storm and ear plugs. The putt putt place next door was convenient to the location but they started blowing off the course at 7am, which woke me up each morning. But other than those minor things, everything was perfect..

Perfect house for a beach vacation!
We really loved our stay! Our only regret was not being there for a longer time!! The unit had everything you could need to enjoy your get away!! Being so close to the beach and so many other attractions, we barely had to drive anywhere! We didn’t need to communicate much with the property owners, but our questions were answered very quickly! We felt very safe during our stay! Our family would love to stay there again!

Convenient to relaxing beach
In the middle of active communities to the north and south. Must travel to participate however bus is a option. Quite relaxing location. Very convenient Ocean beach access. The bay access is really of no benefit the water is really murky and weedy Grill for unit A is located on Unit B deck. Very uncomfortable location for common access. Great private property and muck better than dealing with Condo elevators.

Was a great stay, well equipped. Is great for a two couples, but too small for a large family. Is right across the street from the beach. Lots to do within walking distance. Mini golf is next door, but not an issue as far as noise.

Good stay
Disappointed with the listing. There is a fire-pit pictured on the beach but it was non existent. The grill pictured is actually for the unit at the back of the house, on their deck. It would be awkward to use as that unit was occupied while we were there. Don’t be fooled by the beach pictures. The house, although in a great location, is located across the street from the beach. It is located on the inter-coastal waterway but the back unit is on that side. There are also paddle boards and kayaks pictured and listed as amenities but there are none available and the property manager said we could rent them, which is also misleading. The house was fine for our needs but 4 rolls of TP, 4 dishwasher pods and 4 laundry pods is pretty stingy for a 15 night booking.

We were only there for one night, attending a special event, but the property looked just like the pics. Very cute, clean, and a short walk across the street to the beach. It suited our needs perfectly. Perfect size for 2 couples or a small family.

Rental is not as advertised
The location of this property is good. However, there was a major problem with the shower. We arrived on a Sunday and could not use the shower due to the fact that it trickled cold water, and in order to take a shower you had to have it on hot water only. of course you can’t take a shower like that without burning your skin. The bottom of the shower is missing the grate thatcovers the drain. So what they did was put a small drain cover and you slide into this deformation in the bottom of the shower. We had to go out and buy a nonslip mat to cover the hole. We notified the property manager and went back-and-forth and did not get to take a shower until Tuesday evening. They wanted us to wait till Wednesday and we refused. We still have yet to get a refund for the days that we could not use our shower especially when you’re on a beach. We had to wait for maintenance to come who couldn’t fix it. We had to wait another day to get the plumber to come. And property manager told us we didn’t have to be there. The problem with that is all of our belongings were in there, and we were not comfortable with someone else having the code to access our place. Never heard back from the property manager after the shower was fixed the couch was so uncomfortable you couldn’t sit on it. It has a cover on it, which we removed to see what was going on only to find out that they just stuffed some pillows and the couch was so filthy dirty we took pictures of it. Not happy with the fact no dressers

Cute & Sweet By The Beach
This place was just as listed. Great place to have pets. Nice to be able to just walk them out back for bathroom purposes. Kitchen could have more baking sheets for cooking. Great to have coffee & filters supplied. Our biggest complaint was the water pressure in the shower. Literally non-existent! Very hard to rinse or get shampoo out of hair. King bed was very comfy. Didn't use other bed. Nice to be right across from the beach access. Make sure you back in when you park there. Very hard to back out when there is traffic

Such a cute beach house!
This house is so perfect and cute! Stayed with my husband and 1 year old. The beach is across the street. Mini golf next door. Loved staying here. It was a very large house. All we could talk about was how we want to come back and stay there again ! The property managers answered all messages/questions quickly when we wanted to extend our stay while we were there. They supplied everything you need for the beach (toys, chairs, wagon, umbrellas, beach towels) even supplied us with a pack and play and a high chair for our little one!

The facility was clean, large, and across the street from a beautiful beach. The only downside was we had to drive about a half hour to get to a dog friendly beach. The facility itself was great for a dog as they prepared ahead of time to make it dog friendly.

Cute cottage
We were very pleased from the moment we walked in of the cleanliness and brightness of the cottage. Upon inspection, pleasantly surprised to see that this cottage was very generously appointed with all the necessities of daily living; ie, paper towels, tp, dishwashing soap, to name a few. There is a nice little yard in back with a view of the bay. Located directly across the street from the beach with easy access. Close to shopping and restaurants. Overall comfortable.

Easy in, easy get around!
Nice, clean, little home right in the middle of everything. We were able to get around to Tampa and Bradenton quickly for various events. I was able to walk to various places for coffee and food, as well as its just a minute of walking from the Gulf. Even next to all these fun to-dos, it was quiet and easy to sleep each night. We would book here again without question.
