We had a great experience at Island House Resort. The host was very accommodating during the stay contacting us prior to arrival and departure. Views of the beach were amazing. Easy to get on and off the resort.

4/10 Poor

loved the beach, but not the condo

The condo doors were too narrow for wheelchair to use bathroom, bathroom in guest bedroom was very intrusive as it had to be accessed from the living room, no grab bars for shower. The mattresses were not comfortable at all. The rest of the condo was lovely. It should not be classified as handicap accessible though. I love The Island House and just wish there was a true handicap accessible condo.

Thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed your stay. We do not advertise this unit as a handicap accessible unit. The only thing we have is a ramp to get a wheelchair up to the building but we do advertise wide doors, grab bars etc. Sorry for your misunderstanding. Scott Holland Office Manager

Beautiful View, But Lots of Room For Improvement

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from 4S is beautiful, and proximity to the beach is great, but there are a lot of things that need improvement within 4S. First, this unit has not had a deep cleaning in a long time and it shows. The floors were filthy and bottoms of our feet were routinely dark. The toilet bowl brushes under the sink are just thrown in the cabinet, next to the clean towels, which is gross. The kitchen cabinets are highly disorganized, with items thrown in random drawers and cabinets (only exception was the cabinet with the dishes, which was well organized). The utility closet in the kitchen is a mess, and not safe for children. The unit is not designed well for families with young children - there is no bathtub to bathe little ones, the fan on the lanai does not have an on/off switch (you have to unplug a dangerous cord that simply hangs to the side), and there are no rugs anywhere, so no place for babies to play on the ground (other than just putting them directly on the cold and dirty tile floor). The bedding in the guest room is extremely cheap/low quality (part of Target's "college collection" comforters). Lastly, the owners of 4S lock the full front closet so there is minimal storage for toys/stroller/cooler, etc. For the price, I would have expected a nicer stay. It doesn't need to be fancy at all, but please do the basics - - - clean unit, child safe unit, organized unit. I have been going to Island House for 35 years and was disappointed with this unit.

Access to Siesta Key trolley was very helpful. Condo was not cleaned well, floors obviously not cleaned. Dirty pan in cabinet. Windows very dirty. Broken and missing slats in vertical blinds. Condition reported, but nothing done about blinds while we were there.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo unit was nicely updated and decorated. The view from the screened in balcony was lovely. However, the coffee pot was deplorable; full of coffee grounds and dirty. The closet in the kitchen is a disaster; a jumbled mess of junk piled on top of the hot water heater. The washing machine is rusty; unappealing to do laundry. MOST IMPORTANT, there is an electrical issue in the second bedroom; there appears to be a short in the circuit. Other electrical outlets throughout are problematic; plugs fall out. The condo building is showing its age.

Love Island House Beach Resort

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were pleasantly surprised by our condo at Island House Beach. Our condo was clean, updated, so much more spacious that we had thought and the location was perfect. The view on our screened lanai of the beach was beautiful. We watched the sunset every night from our screened lanai. The bathrooms were updated, clean, and the beds perfect. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay and will definitely rent again at Island House Beach!
