The good, the bad, the ugly

See my full review on Google and other travel review sites for more details. Bottom Line: While the location was decent for a vacation, I would avoid properties managed by Anchor Down Vacation Rentals. The issues with both the property and the management significantly impacted our experience.

Review

We had a nice stay at this property between Xmas and New Years. The location was great for us -- right across the bridge from AMI so easy to get to AMI and Sarasota. The house was new and clean with lots of space for our family of 5. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and reading and access to a full kitchen. There were a few minor issues that were quickly resolved by management, who was very responsive. Overall a great vacation for us.

Great House

Very nice accommodations. House had all the necessities. Furnished very nicely. The pool, back deck and dock were perfect! Quick boat ride to the ICW. Chairs, cornhole, everything you need while at the house. The elevator broke down on our last day, so we just hiked up & down the stairs. Really enjoyed it!
