A little hiccup at checkout (we were given permission to stay until 11am after messaging with no response I called the morning of and it was fine, but then was messaged and called by homeowner I would presume to say we weren’t allowed.). It was very uncomfortable but there is clearly a disconnect between a third party agency that runs this house. The house was clean and had all of our needs (most likely solely for renting out). The location was the best part for us. We sat on the dock morning and evening for beautiful views. The kayaks ended up being the best part. Don’t just think about it - do it! We saw amazing homes, but the best part was kayaking with manatees within feet of us. We also saw dolphins several times right at the house. For those reasons I’d definitely recommend you stay, but again, the miscommunication was a huge bummer.

Beds need box springs. Need more cutlery (one ok knife), sliding doors need attention. Couldn’t turn off ice maker (kind of loud and keeps you up at night). Couldn’t find cable tv (seemed like just streaming on your own platforms). 3rd bedroom is not code compliant. No window for fresh air. Location is great but needs a bunch of TLC. No clocks in bedrooms. Would be nice to have curtains in main bedroom (over black out shades). Furniture and flooring is nice. Could use a toaster. Speed oven is ok for toasting. But… Our observations for an improved experience. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful experience at this property. It's in a beautiful spot with great views day and night, inside and out. There is an abundance of outdoor space and seating and a couple of large umbrellas. Inside, the air conditioning works great even with the 100 degree days. The interior is nicely decorated and comfortably appointed. We found it to be incredibly clean. Everything we needed was there. There was a slight snag with check in, but the property manager went above and beyond to make up for it. Also worth mentioning is the no-fuss check out procedure. Again, is was a wonderful stay.
