This property is about 150 yards from the beach, so coming and going is a breeze, very convenient and away from the crowds of the nearby Nokomis Beach. The backside dock is nice, kayaks available at the unit, and the fishing is easy and good. Where else can you walk an easy few minutes to a nice beach or sit on the dock drinking coffee or a beer? We enjoyed the walkout patio on the second floor for breakfast as well. Since there is little description of the unit in the ad, I would not call this a "penthouse" by any measure. The only ding I have for it is that it is very dated and the floor slopes, old Florida for sure, so don't expect a high-rise type Florida condo where everything is shiny and new. But we're not picky, and everything you need for a stay is there and Ben by the way is an excellent host and communicator which is important if you've ever stayed at a place and had problems. Neighbors are friendly and outgoing, too, and obviously have a good relationship with Ben and Rachel.
We would return.
