This was the perfect location for us, close to Sarasota, Bradenton and the beaches. The fenced yard was great for the pups. Well equipped, everything we needed was there. If we come down again without our RV- we'll look up this place. Thanks for sharing your home, much appreciation!

The check in was a little confusing because the code didn’t work on one of the doors when we arrived. Communication is clear. It just takes a while for them to respond. The property is older but very clean inside.

We needed to modify our stay and reached out multiple times to the owner and Expedia. The modification was finally approved to change from 3 nights to 2 nights. I was told we would be refunded a night and the itinerary would reflect that. None of that happened. My wife and kids then showed up an hour after check in time to a house that was a total mess. This resulted in them having to leave the house which was a major inconvenience after a long drive for my family. I did see a partial refund come through for that night which was appreciated. The house is worn down in many areas and looks like a work in progress. The couch looks like it was picked up for free off the sidewalk. Needless to say, we are very displeased with this experience and are still awaiting our refund for the day/night we did not stay there.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
The place was decent for the price. The location was relatively convenient for the area. It is very close to the airport, so there were a lot of plane take-offs and landings.However, there were a couple of issues during our stay. The first one was the bed in the master was sinking in the middle, so my wife and I were unable to sleep in the same bed comfortably. Thankfully, there was a bunk bed in the other room that I was able to sleep on instead.The other issue that bothered us was that the toilet in the only bathroom was leaking around the wax ring. The owner was notified of this as soon as we noticed with pictures. We were there for 4 days, and despite my best efforts to communicate when we would be available for the property manager to come resolve the issue, I did not receive timely correspondence from the owner. We would have liked to have gotten this corrected during our stay, but we didn't want someone coming to the property without us being there. Unfortunately, it was not resolved by the time we left. It was disappointing.One final thing that put me off was a sticker on the fridge that stated that "4 Star reviews and below are considered bad" and went on to encourage a 5 Star instead. If a host truly wants a 5 Star review, they should earn it with their guests by communicating in a timely manner regarding issues with their stay. Sadly, I am unable to, in good conscience, leave that 5 Star review that the owner would have liked.
