Location of this property is superb. The pictures make it look a little bigger than it is but it is a lovely place to stay. Walkable to a couple great restaurants/bars. Easy 3 minute walk to one of the best beaches in Florida. I have to say, the only criticism I have is the parking spot is a little small. Other wise an amazing 5 star stay. Would go again in a heartbeat

As expected. Very clean, but a bit of a musty smell. Would be nice if there were longer hours to use common spaces--9 pm seems more reasonable, especially in the winter. Access to the beach and beach gear were great.

The location was fantastic! The beach was a quick, block and a half walk away. Beach chairs, towels, and other items were available. We loved having access to kayaks and paddling in Lemon Bay. The studio was clean and well appointed. Many starter items, a bottle of wine, and other goodies were there to welcome us. Communication was easy with the owners. The only complaint I had was that the “posh” bed was not to our liking. Please keep in mind that this is very subjective. Others may love the bed, we did not.
