Other Things to Note:
We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable space for our guests. Our team follows strict cleaning protocols, and we regularly fumigate the property to keep it pest-free. However, due to Florida’s warm climate, high humidity, and the property's proximity to the water, it’s common for local insects, including the occasional roach, to make an appearance—even after our best efforts.
Most of the time, you might find them already deceased as a result of our regular pest control. While this is a rare occurrence, we believe in being transparent. If you’re particularly sensitive to insects and this could impact your stay, we suggest considering another option to ensure your comfort.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Property was fine for what we were looking for (couple nights before a cruise). Bedrooms and living space clean, kitchen needs some attention. Sink in one bathroom was ridiculously small (like airplane small) and no additional shelving or cabinet to lay anything on or in. Location was fine, laundry in site was convenient.

The host, Gabby, was very helpful before our stay. However, once we checked in we found that the sliding back door to the property didn’t lock, causing a clear security issue. I reached out to Gabby and she initially stated that she was calling a handyman however, four hours later no one had come to fix the door. I reached out to her twice more to inquire about this issue and she notified me that I should lock the door by putting a piece of wood against the door handle. While this would solve the issue in some sliding doors, it wouldn’t fix this particular issue because the door was installed with the track on the outside. Very scary to be staying in a neighborhood you’re not familiar with… add to it that the door wouldn’t securely lock, and you have an extra scary situation. The unit photos are much nicer than what you get in-person. The WiFi is very spotty and the toilet in the first bedroom had difficulty flushing. The unit had a very strong chemical smell, which let you know that it had been cleaned recently, but it was stifling after a while. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioner worked really well.

Close to shopping. Everything we needed for a short stay. Property has some maintenance items that needed attention (patio door didn't lock and furniture shows wear). Looks like they have done some updates as it is modern as shown in the pics. Neighbor had loud music one night until 2 am.

Very clean except for sink side of refrigerator-gross but possible a stain?; front door lock needs to be explained - how lock from inside--no chain. NEEDS instructions for TV & stove top; if a coffee machine there needs to be coffee or indicated not included; very slow communication between chat and I think true owner of VRBO. nice location but no groceries within WALKING distance.

The location of the unit was unacceptable to us. The actual unit was clean and as represented in the photos, but we did not feel safe in the neighborhood and did not stay the two nights booked. We were unable to get a refund despite our complaints about the neighborhood.

This was a fine place for one night, but I would not stay here for an extended amount of time. Parking was very tight. Walking to the unit was very tight. The walls were very thin- could hear everything. It was clean. Towels were very small and thin. The bed was comfortable but not the best ever. This place did the job. Fine place to stay before our cruise.
