We really enjoyed this property. The management company was super responsive. There was plenty of room and we had everything we needed right there. Great location from the airport, beaches and plenty of shopping. I would have liked the pool to be heated when i wanted and not preset hours. I wanted to enjoy the spa at 8am each morning and the heat wasnt available until "late morning". There were a few issues with the spa and pool heat not working but the pool was great otherwise
The house is perfect for a large family or for family to come and visit while staying here. The property is very roomy and convenient to all sorts of shopping, all set in a quiet neighborhood. Kids will love the pool.
Beautiful home, located in a quiet neighborhood. But, very close to everything. Hoping to come back again soon.

Enjoyed Our Stay March 2024
We enjoyed our recent stay in this 4-bedroom house. The pool was nice and clean. The kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances; however, the stove top pans need replaced. The location was great with beaches, restaurants, and recreational facilities nearby. We left a raincoat behind and the management contacted us later in the day to make arrangements to send it back to us. We definitely would stay here again.

Lawn furniture falling apart, inside needs painted. Kids enjoyed the pool.
House was in a great neighborhood within walking distance to grocery store, restaurants and gas station. House was clean and comfortable. It had plenty of space for all 8 of us. Tons of pool toys, beach umbrellas, wagon and strollers in garage. We all would stay there again. Thank you!
This house fit in our price range for they area we were searching and more than met our expectations. The home was larger than expected. We enjoyed the 2 living rooms, kitchen and dining space and bedrooms. The king size beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept in at a rental. So much so that I may purchase this brand for home! The pool area was well maintained and a nice place to hang out with family. Everyone enjoyed swimming each day. We played games at the table while it rained and it was very relaxing.

Nice Family Hone with a few issues.
Location is good with plenty of restaurants and shops in the area. Wally World 4minutes away for groceries.
What made the home stick out was hot tub with the pool. Hot tub was broken with a faulty heat pump. we later found out the mngt co was notified in December about it but never fixed it. More importantly , the site does not inform the buyer of this. If the mngt company takes care of it for us I will update.
Killed 5 cockroaches but it is Florida and by no means is the home unclean. Likely needs an exterminator treatment is all. Ample cooking supplies and linens. Remotes had a few issues but one worked for 2 of the 3 tv’s.
Overall good deal for a traveling family but hot tub issue without disclosure is troublesome.

Pool not as advertised.
We booked this house due to heated pool. The pool is not heated unless you pay extra. I would have gladly paid extra if i had known this beforehand. The rental company told us there would be another fee to turn the heat and spa on after check in and it wouldnt be warm by the time we left. That needs to be clear in the listing. We chose this house specifically because of the "heated pool" as I had 2 eleven year old boys to entertain. Also the garbage in the garage was over flowing and stunk terrible. We had no where to go with our trash. The handles and door jams need a good cleaning. There is grime built up and pretty gross. The beds and linens were clean and comfy. The house is plenty big and lot's of space. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. Plenty of towels. Seems like the homeowners are great but their rental and cleaning company is less than desired.

Needs some attention to baseboards and ants in master, garage is cluttered, location is great! Pool is very nice!
We enjoyed the place a lot. The pool was graat. Enjoyed being able yo to sit outside in the mornings. Liked the lay out of the home. The garage waa nice to have. Neighborhood was pleasant. Location was great for us.
This place was just as listed. I couldnt recomend this place enough. It was all we expected and more. My grand kids loved the pool. Pool was bigger then expected. And was so excited. I will book this place again and again. Very homey.
There was cigarette stub a used elastoplast broken glass in pool area the area beside pool was stinking ice cream tub in freezer disgusting for to be charged a cleaning fee and management fee what a joke I hope not to be using Vrbo again we had to move to other villa and was told by host they do not refund Vrbo costs absolute joke
Thank you very much for allowing us to call your place home for 3 days. We really enjoyed the stay

House was dirty as can be. Pool was also dirty. Ants were terrible. The kitchen needs a restock of pots and pans and silverware. There was absolutely nothing to get you started. The neighbors parked in front of our driveway multiple times. A/c messed up and we had to have someone come repair it meanwhile the garage floor was covered in water. Spa only worked half the time. The bed sheets had blood on them. It was not the best rental. It is close to most stores but it definitely needs some upgrading. As much as I paid they could buy some pots and pans that are worth using and more than 6 forks.
For 8 people this place was great place to stay We didnt need it but the pictures show a computer and there wasn’t one. 15 minutes to Anna Maria island and Siesta Keys. Everything you needed within 5 minutes I would stay there again without any hesitation
