The house is located at the end of an unpaved road sitting on a half acre of overgrown tropical underbrush. It’s location is a short ride from the beach but not at the beach. It’s better than spending weeks crammed into a hotel room but as far as a VRBO home it has been neglected. When we first arrived, the garage was scattered with boxes and packaging from house hold items and work that was recently done to this house or any one of the other houses managed by the property company. The Welcome book was obviously not unique to this house as it warned of not allowing topless bathing and how to use the garbage disposal. Neither of which were happening here. Necessary information like trash removal or laundering instructions were omitted. The carpets are likely original from when the house was built and smell like it. All of the smoke extinguishers were missing batteries. The ceiling fans were rusted and covered in black mold. There are no spices or common cooking items in the house. No paper towels, dish detergent or toilet paper provided. There is a clutter of culinary oddities and dull knives in the kitchen. The stove is worn and scorched but that matched the condition of the pots that are scratched and worn. The bedrooms are decently appointed and decorated in a cute dated kind of way. The washer and dryer were older then the house and screamed the entire time and barely have enough room to wash a few garments at a time. Overall it’s dated, dirty, and nothing special. It’s a solid 3 out of 5.

Great experiance, lots of linens, towels and dinner ware.

Lesley was a great host she let us check-in early after our flight became a redeye. The property was nice and we were only 1/2 mile from Manasota Beach. Nice quiet beach with restrooms and showers. No spring breakers; just families and couples. I highly recommend this property

We did enjoy our stay very much. It is a fun area to stay and the beach was beautiful. The pool was very nice and house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable..

Had a wonderful time. Beautiful home will definitely be renting again
