Perfect stay and beautiful home. Only minor suggestions for future guests would be 1.) adding a dresser and/or 2.) having kid friendly plates (everything is glass and potentially breakable). But overall, excellent property and easy/great communication with the property owner/host.

Thank you for kind words and suggestions. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay. We strive to take care of our guests during their stay, and since we did not hear from you, we assumed you guys were happy and enjoying yourselves. We are sorry there were no paper or plastic plates, and that you would have liked to have dressers. Please reach out if you would like to book our place again in the future.

We had a great stay at this property! The house was very clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was also excellent, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area.The pool is currently in the process of being built, which will be a great addition once it’s finished. The owner was very sweet and responded quickly to any questions. We did wish we could have taken a picture with the beautiful mural, but unfortunately it was blocked during our stay.Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again!

Crystal, Thank you for your 5-star review. We love our house and sharing it with great renters like you! The pool is slated to be completed sometime in May, and hopefully you can stay with us again. I did think about the mural before we left, and if you'd like to stay in our rental again, you can capture the picture with it!! We are so happy you liked the location too, it's great to go to the beach, and then come back to a relaxing retreat. Please contact us if you ever need anything in our area, or more recommendations on restaurants, beaches, or shopping.

We booked this house for a beach spring break for our small family with two teens, and it was PERFECT. The house is very beautiful and so comfortable. Each kid had their own room and were able to share a bathroom (minimal bickering). Every morning I enjoyed coffee on one of the two screened in porches overlooking the Cortez bridge and bay. This house had everything we needed to enjoy the nearby beaches. We used the beach chairs, towels and umbrella nearly every day. We took a bike ride to the local coffee shop for breakfast a few mornings too. I do recommend renting a car if you’re flying in. We were able to enjoy many different beaches up and down the keys from Anna Maria island to Coquina and even explored down to Sarasota. We enjoyed so many great sunsets and always enjoyed coming home to the house to rest up and cool off. If I had to pick one complaint, it is hard to do, but I will mention the community is under construction so it can be a little noisy during the day. But no worries - just go to the beach! The house itself was super clean, well appointed and had every thing we could have needed. The host was so attentive and full of great suggestions for exploring the area. We would 100% do this vacation again and stay at this home. Thank you so very much to the host for a idyllic family vacation we will enjoy in wonderful memories for years to come!
