Worked for us
We were in town for an Anna Maria Island weekend. Accommodations were comfortable. We were only in the home to shower and sleep. Gina must have allergies or sensitivities as signs requesting no fragrances, shampoo,or spray/perfumes. No tv in the bedroom but tv for your use in a side room off bedroom. Gina respects your privacy.

Room in home
I booked through VRBO assuming that meant that we would not be living in a house with the owner. The owner was kind and the room we had was very clean but it was not at all what I had expected when booking. There were no baked goods or bakery. It was just a room in a home that we shared with the owner and another guest
