Upscale Vacation Home ~ Stunning Gulf and Lake Views ~ Private Saltwater Pool!

I brought my family of nine adults and ten grandchildren to this house at the last minute when we had to cancel our Longboat Key beach plans due to red tide...my daughter lives in Tally and this was close to them although a long drive for us....This house is really pretty....spacious...modern....close to the beach and good restaurant....We had plenty of beds for everyone...including a pack and play for the infant..not the crib pictured in the photo..we later found the crib in the garage...Only cons were no tv in one of the masters on the main floor , which is inconvenient when you have this many people wanting their own rooms and privacy...all our other bedrooms had tvs, even the kid bunk room....And the kitchen is really sparse as to things I usually expect when i rent an upscale property...no condoments, spices, coffee filters, sponges, cleansers, only one dish towel, which is pretty crazy when cooking three meals a day for 20 people...one of my kids brought four of theirs thank goodness...plenty of bath towels but only one hand towel in each bathroom....usually when i rent a house there is plenty of laundry pods dryer sheets etc left in the laundry room...we had to bring all of this...I had to buy a large cutting board , two oven mits, corkscrew...I almost bought a pancake griddle but didn't...It's hard to make pancakes in a fry pan..I bought foil, saran wrap, ziplocs, hand pump soap,salt and pepper, cooking oil,coffee filters, and left them hoping they leave them for the next people....the kitchen sink leaks...there was no turntable platter in the microwave....We had a maintenance person bring one which was the wrong size..but we managed...We had a great time..the pool and hot tub were great....had to figure out the heater....I'd suggest a note on how to maybe...It was noted in the description that we had to provide paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, etc..but I think a house this expensive should really provide all these things..I would recommend this house to big families...but stairs are tile and wood and there are three sets, one being a metal spiral , so you really have to watch toddlers...I would rent this house again knowing what I have to bring...
