  : We liked the location.
  : The entrance walkway was blocked by palm fronds. The toaster was broken. The windows and doors had hand prints. The bathtub was not cleaned under the bath mat. We bought a replacement and scrubbed the tub. We were informed that we would be required to pay ($36) for the pool heater on a daily basis. The pool screens were completely destroyed by the hurricane. The arm rest on the white chair was soiled. We covered them with towels. There were many stains on the carpet which I tried to remove. The side door to the garage was damaged and could not be secured. Please call me to discuss this further at 5858722452. Thanks

  : Although it needed to be updated, there was a dock for our boat. The location is a short distance away from shopping and restaurants.
  : We did not have access to the HOA boat ramp (that would have saved a lot of time loading and unloading our boat). There was also a hole in one of the bedroom walls where the door knob struck it prior to us arriving.

  : The house was very clean. We saw 0 bugs the 2 days we were there. Both bedrooms are master bedrooms with bathrooms next to the bedrooms. The house is very spacious. When you first walk inside the home that is the 'living room/sitting room'. It is an awkward space. Huge room with 1 sofa and 1 chair. I feel like a tv needs installed in that room. Also, that sliding glass door off of that room into the screened in porch (then into the pool/lanai) the door barely locks. My husband figured it out finally. You need alot of strength to lock it. That lock needs replaced, for security reasons. The house has all old kitchen & bathroom cabinets/sinks (reminds me of the Brady Bunch tv show) but everything was clean so no issues with that. The 2 beds were comfortable. The passcode for the front door was emailed to me the morning we were going to be checking in. Worked well. We would go back to this house. It is on a quiet residential street. We drove to Manasota Key beach, Caspersan beach Stump Pass beach, Blind Pass beach, from this house. Make sure to have sand sifters to look for prehistoric fossilized shark teeth at Caspersan beach! We found alot. Not far.. about 15-20 minutes. There are some stores and fast food places near by. Mcdonalds, Marco's pizza, Publix, etc. The water behind the house is peaceful with beautiful sunrises. Fish are always jumping out of the water. We saw a few kayakers going past the home. The pool is smaller but nice to have. There are purple pool lights that you can turn on and looks neat at night time. The pool needed cleaned and more water needed added to the pool. On arrival, there were wash cloths, bath towels (enough for 4 people), 3 laundry soap pods (could have used a few more), 3 cascade dish washer pods, dish liquid soap, soap at all 3 sinks, 2 paper towels, and plenty of toilet paper. The laundry area is nice with a wash tub. Overall we have a nice experience here and would come again!
  : When you walk in the front door, that sliding glass door (in the large sitting room, I uploaded a photo of that room and sliding glass door) into the screened in porch (then into the pool/lanai) that sliding glass door barely locks. My husband figured it out finally. You need a lot of strength to lock it. That lock needs replaced, for security reasons. That lock is what keeps people out of your home. The 3 screened doors (on lanai & screened in porch) do lock but they are weak and will not keep an intruder out. The lock on the sliding glass door (off of the kitchen) does lock fine. Also, the pool had sand in it and the water was very low in the pool. The water was about 4 inches below the skimmer and not able to be filtered or cleaned out. That should be fixed prior to customers renting the home. We did turn on the water hose and filled the water up to the skimmer.
