Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice time, great water heater for the pool.Fix the pool tile before someone hurts themselves. Needs complimentary sugars, creamers, soaps, shampoo, and a few bottled waters. Also, can’t find my scripted sunglasses, let me know if you found them. Thank you. Carol Everhart

Memorial Day getaway

Very nice place and great location! I would say the kitchen could use a few more items such as serving bowls. And the patio view would be greatly improved if the shrubs around the pool were trimmed down a bit so you could see the pool and beyond to the beautiful beach!

Very nice place. Due to construction at this time, I would recommend to other visiting to definitely stop by a grocery store and stock up on food. I am sure it was the timing we were there and the backups on Gulf Drive. Very nice accommodations.

Great location, pool and beach

Stayed for a week and overall it was great but the cleaning crew could do a better job though, which is why I can't give a 5 star review. Margaret at the front desk was fantastic, so helpful and friendly. The pool area and beach were perfect and having access to bikes at Cedars was a plus. We ate at Harry's, Blu Kouzina, Cafe L'Europe and Mar Vista. Highly recommend them all. Would stay again.

Gulf vaca

I booked this property online because it was one of the most reasonably priced. It has rooms that lead directly to the pool and the beautiful beach beyond. I’m handicapped and really appreciated being able to go right out our screened in patio to pool or beach. The water was aqua and gorgeous! The people were so nice and very accommodating! Highly recommend!

A great beach-side stay

We only spent 2 nights but it was so relaxing. The beach here is excellent and I say that as a Florida native. The area is not heavily populated and there is no public parking nearby, so it feels almost like a private beach. We wanted a quiet, restful weekend of sun and swimming and that is exactly what we got. There are good places to eat all around the key. Sarasota and the Ringling Museum are just 25 minutes away. We wanted to stay longer!
