Short walk to beach access. Duplex was good size for four guests. Some updating would be appreciated (living room upholstery, washer and dryer are very noisy) and adding a second television is a must. Swiffer for daily clean up would have come in handy. Listing description was accurate, photos properly reflected the amenities. Very clean upon arrival. Owner checked in with us and was very friendly. We would recommend this property. See no reason why it couldn't be pet friendly. (that may prohibit our return)
Restaurants we would highly recommend: Rosebud's, Crows Nest, Bonefish Grille and Luna's were all great. Pop's Sunset Grille was fun. Bresslers for ice cream. Ciao Gelato yummy too. Very disappointed in Sharky's.
Must see and do: air boat ride at Myakka State Park, Ringling Brothers Museum, Casey and Siesta Key, Nokomis Grove, public golf, car shows, magic act on Miami, Venice Ave from one end to another, Sunsets at Golden Beach, shelling.
