Peaceful week ending with a wonderful fireworks display!

Property is old school Florida. Right on the beach. Nothing too fancy. Everything neat, tidy and clean. Room was laid out. Property was very well kept.

One week stay on beach

It had a good location on the beach but the queen bed should have a much better mattress. It just had form and I had a hard time sleeping. The key for the dead bolt got stuck when trying to open the door. May need replacement also.

We came in the evening after dark and it was such a beautiful experience. Quiet and open and welcoming. We settled right in! Waking up to the ocean view was wonderful. It is so close to the beach and that was my favorite part. Having a full mini kitchen was great as we got some groceries and were able to make ourselves eggs in the morning. This had such an old Florida vibe. The place was very clean. Our daughter said the bed was very comfortable and it was. She really enjoyed the pool - it was a nice break from swimming in the ocean. We found sharks teeth! It was like our very own private beach because there were not many people set up there. You could even walk down to the pier about a mile to Sharkys. It is close to Sarasota airport, which is very small. Two days was not enough at this place. We will definitely be coming back. My only regret was that I never did get to meet Barry, but only talked to her on the phone. We were always out and about when she was there, but she was very helpful and communicative. Thank you, Barry!!
