Reviewer Comments:
PROS: * they have beach towels, styrofoam cooler, pails for kids and a beach "stroller" which helps with the 0.3-mile walk to the actual sand of the beach* the outdoor back area is well equipped with a Weber grill and 6-person commercial-grade umbrella* front porch has a small settee, 2 chairs and small coffee table and end "stands" - although the awning leaks a bit, there is a 3 foot overhand from the house so you can push up against the wall to sit out when it is raining* it's 0.3 miles to the Ugly Grouper and the Salty Dolphin boat rides, 0.5 to the "town" of Holmes beach and 1.25 to Manatee beach which we consider walkable although there is a free trolley that stops about 0.25 * 2 ensuites is nice although the laundry/utility room is through the largest bedroom as well as the fastest access to the back yard* the management staff was extremely responsive to 2 issues we had although the website message center did not have a contact form (maybe it was the browser I was using?) CONS:* no outdoor hose* only one towel rack in the front bedroom so squeezing 2 bath towels and a hand towel had them falling to the floor a lot - would be good to get a hook at least to the right of the sink and maybe behind door* you'll need to drag a chair over to the utility room if you want to see the dryer settings and you're not 6 feet 2 inches tall* too many decorative pillows which took up a lot of valuable closet space* the areas around the door handles were dirty (very apparent with white doors) but I left comments on the form so maybe they will remedy that* kitchen is extremely tiny and no dishwasher but the did provide dishsoap and a clean sponge* we're not fans of blended drinks, but if you are, we did not see a blender so you may want to check* conflicting information in the binder so best to call the office if you have questions
