We really enjoyed the pool and private backyard. The house was decorated so cute and although we didn't use the flamingo bedroom, I took pictures of it to show it off anyways! We were able to find everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Awesome getaway
This house is situated near beaches within a short driving distance while also being conveniently located near grocery stores and shops to fulfill your every day needs. My daughter loves the hot tub and pool! Ample beach towels and supplies for the beach and swimming pool. The home was very clean and modern/updated which was appealing to me. I enjoyed late night play at the pool table with the family. The cabinets are stocked with the essentials. There was a very helpful notebook for visitors to reference as well. Would stay here again if I wanted to have proximity to beaches and Anna Maria.

relaxing home
When we arrived, we found a few things which did not meet the listing information. However the on-call person Jamie was very responsive. The property owner authorized having a few of our concerns resolved even though it was a weekend. Once the initial concerns were resolved, we enjoyed our stay at the Blue Iguana. I highly recommend having the pool heated. It was so much more enjoyable in December. The house is has a well stocked kitchen. We found every small appliance we could need. There were plenty of linens through out the house. Having the billard table was an extra bonus for some evening entertainment. The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood and central to so many activities and beaches.

Relaxing getaway
I needed a relaxing vacation and that’s exactly what I got. Loved everything about the house. We did try to use one of the beach umbrellas but they were all broken but that wasn’t a big deal. The check in and out process was so simple and easy.

5 Star Florida Home
Property was well decorated which made it really fun. Very clean and beautiful! Loved the iguana wall mural in the back, flamingo wallpaper and many other unique paintings. The pool and hot tub were very clean. There is an outdoor shower to wash the sand off outside after coming back from the beach. There was a box fan which we always use for white noise and a cooler for drinks which was nice. Bed were comfortable. The pool table was nice. Really had everything needed. Could use a new can opener and a broom/dustpan, but these are really the only suggestions we could think of.

Overall a great experience
We had an overall great time, we did have a couple of hiccups with the washer breaking the entirety of our stay and other things however the property management team did help us out whenever we needed them and did send people out to fix things when they were needed. Communication was great and we did enjoy our stay.

Perfect Family Getaway
This was our kids first "airplane trip" and we could not ask for a better place to stay! The backyard was perfect and we spent so much time in the pool. Our kids were never bored, there is a lot to do both inside and outside. The house is beautiful inside and had everything we could ever need. We really appreciated the beach gear (umbrellas, chairs, toys, cooler, etc...). The location is perfect! Close to groceries, restaurants and a 10-15 minute drive to the most beautiful beaches. Our kids are already asking when we can come back to the Blue Iguana!

Need improvement
We had a good time, but they need to improve if they really want their guests to be completely satisfied.
For example:
In the master room bathroom, the shower doesn't have any water pressure.
In the other bathroom the curtain needs to be replaced urgently, it's disgusting.
If a guest called to report a problem, do not ignore him
Just some tips.
The house is very nice, great location. Thank you!

Nice winter getaway
Property is very nice. Newly remodeled and clean. Well stocked. For winter pool heating, make sure you confirm details. We paid for pool heat and had some difficulty with the rental company (not the owners) to get the pool heater on. It did not turn on as they said it was even though the pool company who comes to do pool maintenance 2x a week told us it’s remotely controlled by rental company. It’s suppose to run 8a-8p but shuts off if it hits a certain temp which is still kind of cool for February. Overall, once we worked things out with the rental co. it was a great trip.
