Another great stay at Big Pink! This is our 3rd year and we keep finding more things to do in this area! The house and pool were in great shape and ready for our stay! Really enjoyed the new gas grill and quiet evenings poolside. Gators in the water and bald eagles in the trees of the neighborhood - awesome! Excellent location that is perfect for easy walks and bike rides. Looking forward to a return visit next year!

The high points of this place: proximity to the Legacy Trail and Nokomis beach. Great neighborhood for long walks on quiet streets, retreat like setting. Private space at end of road. Pool area is lovely and secluded. Because we have chemical sensitivities and a recent bout with lymphoma, we specifically inquired about fragrances used in the house. We were informed "scents and chemicals are kept to a minimum." Unfortunately, not so. Fragrances were sprayed on almost all upholstery. The extra foam mattress on the bed was saturated with a strong smell. We removed 9 "odorizers", either plugged in or tucked around things which emitted strong unpleasant smells. We put them out to the garage. Two of the sliding glass doors and the window by the tub cannot be opened without brute force. If you have no problems with strong smells, this place is fine. Spacious, quiet, peaceful.

The house was just as advertised. Very nice quiet neighborhood, pool was great. Short drive to several beaches. It was a great place to relax a few days.

The best part about this location was the pool. The house was dirty and unkept. Basic supplies like paper towels and facial tissue were missing. The appearance was nothing like the photos. The landscaping was overgrown including the sidewalk up to the house. The furniture was a hodge podge of random items. Biggest disappointment was the internet and wireless service.

This is a lovely property but it is tired. The house is cluttered with furniture at every turn. The pool area is in need of a power wash and the plants outside the cage are overgrown to the point the pool area is stuffy. Area rugs I’m sure are not cleaned between visits and master bed mattress has stains. Iron is old and black on the bottom. Outside grill is filthy as is the patio table and chairs near it.

The property is spacious, in a quiet neighborhood, near grocery stores, restaurants, and a short drive to Nokomis beach. The pool is wonderful and was my favorite part of the property. I did have some unpleasant surprises after checking in. The garbage disposal was broken, the microwave vent was held in place with duct tape, but most disturbing of all was the dishwasher. The heated dry cycle is not working, and the inside of the dishwasher had mold growing throughout. So I had to hand wash our dishes for the entire week. The house also had an odor that was something other than musty. The bed linens were frayed and torn. I am particular about the condition and cleanliness of the properties I rent and this one failed. I did reach out to the owner early in my stay and she indicated that there was nothing she would do until she physically visited the property in a few weeks. It's a shame because this house has a lot going for it but it needs a lot of TLC.
