Disappointing
The house itself is nice but it’s showing some age and could use a bit of TLC (older carpet in bedroom, bathrooms that could use updating and curtains in the living area that were frayed). The location is nice, and we had only a few people from the public beach approximately 400 yds away. The beach is more of a shelling beach than the white sand beaches of St. Petersburg but more private. There is a bit of a steep drop off when entering the water so for those with children you may want to take note. The most disappointing aspect was the very slow responsiveness from the manager. It sometimes took hours for any response and did not turn out to be the relaxing vacation we'd hoped.
Over the course of the week we encountered the following issues:
Initially unable to enter the home (clearer instructions would help)
TV in the living area had no cable service (Comcast resolved the following day: Monday)
Gas grill was filthy and did not initially work (Handyman changed connections, we cleaned: Tuesday)
Electrical issues with flickering lights, non-working outlets and A/C that stopped running (panel replaced) Tuesday
Leaking hot water heater (connection only but took 2 days to resolve) No hot water for 2 days – finally resolved Wednesday evening
Given that this was a ‘birthday trip’ husband (Birthday was Tuesday) and we had so many issues to deal with, it was not the best experience and I cannot recommend.
