Great house, close to beaches

We had a great stay in Holmes Beach. The house is a few blocks from the beach, easy to walk to. We ended up renting beach chairs and umbrella, the ones at house were is rough shape. The pool was awesome our kids played in it for hours.

Overall this place gave us easy access to the beach and enough room for 4 adults and 4 kids to stay comfortably. Salt pool was loved by all, however, the waterfall that was pictured, was broken...this was a large disappointment. The broken waterfall was only revealed after we asked how to turn it on. The first 4 days of our stay, the wifi was not working. We had to ask several times over several days for the situation to be rectified. When we first brought up the down wifi, they suggested we call the company to solve the issue for them. This would be a good time to mention you are not renting through VRBO but through a 3rd party real estate company, and the wifi was through another company and that other company dealt with the provider. This is a bare bones rental. There was hardly any soap for dishes or showers and dish towels. We had to ask for extra toilet paper as we had 8 people staying from Sunday to Sunday and they had what was on the roller plus 2. We had to ask for oven mitts/hot pads as there was nothing to remove items from the oven. Also there were no interior floor mats to wipe sand from our feet. The hose outside to rinse sand off our feet was also broken. After we talked to their maintenance staff 3 days in, we got a new hose and extra toilet paper and dish towels, and the floor mat they ordered on Monday came in. Overall these issues did not ruin our vacation. And you can't beat the location. The beach down the street was beautiful.

The pool was a hit for the grandkids and with the beach within walking distance. The Dolphin boat tour was very interesting with seeing so much of what was damaged in the hurricane and what still needs to be repaired. We rented a golf cart to get around the island and the grandkids really enjoyed that.Going to the beach each day and bringing back shells to take home for souvenirs.I feel that they need more restaurants. The donut shop was a hit. We rode the Trolley a few times when we first got there.Needed more restaurants

The set up of the house was very nice and enough room for my family of 6. About a 8 minute walk to the beach. The photos for the listing do not represent what the house currently looks like. NO chairs on the front deck which would have been very nice to have. The kids loved the pool but the yard was littered with beer bottle caps. Lots of things not available like dish soap, a sponge, garbage bags, dishwasher pods or a spray cleaner to wipe down the countertops. A quick trip to the dollar store remedied it but anywhere I’ve stayed always had those items available. Sato Reality was quick with responses and even sent someone to the house when I was having a problem with the pool alarm. So to wrap it up, would I stay at this home again? Probably not but I did not let any of the things mentioned above ruin my vacation. FYI… bring bug spray! Lots of mosquitoes that I was not prepared for.

Hi Mary, we apologize about the debris in the yard. We will speak with our cleaners and inspectors. Next time do not hesitate to let us know about issues like these. We will get them addressed asap. In your welcome bag are the supplies that you say are not listed. We apologize if this was not clear on your confirmation email. Thanks, Sato Real Estate.

House was in a good location. Water fall in the pool does not work. Kitchen needs items replaced like hot pads, dish cloths, dishwasher wasn’t working properly. Someone did come and fix the dishwasher. I have stayed in many houses on AMI and this was not worth the price they charged.
