About this house rental
Welcome to this perfectly located house on the banks of the scenic Myaka River, with direct access to Charlotte Harbor, and the Gulf of Mexico. Once inside, relax under cathedral ceilings, with an open floor plan that includes a large, white porcelain tiled, eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar area, leading to a very spacious great room with cable television, WiFi internet, and a professional organ, that looks out over the 'Florida room,' and the gigantic lanai, which houses the spa, and really large pool with water falls, through the sliding doors, and finally, toward the salt-water canal.
All bedrooms are furnished with flat screen TV's. The master suite has a king size bed, 42' flat panel TV with a DVD player, private bathroom with two walk-in closets, and includes a large capacity, and energy efficient washer and dryer, and offers additional space for storage. The fish cleaning station is located on the 60' dock, next to the boat lift, which is next to 'The Hand of God.'

This property was perfect for us. We were able to dock our boat and make it simple to get on the qater in the morning. The house was very comfortable and clean! Would definitely stay again.

We were looking for a quiet place to enjoy Mother's Day and this place was exactly what we needed. Great house, well keep. Perfect place to check your skills fishing. Fatigue for the amount of work and in need to relax? Call Len.

I would highly recommend a piece of heaven! The house was lovely, clean, reasonably priced, and conveniently located. Additionally, the owner was very friendly and easy to contact.
All six of us truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose to stay there again in the future!

The size and amenities of this property were just perfect for our family. Close enough to beaches and kids loved the pool. Pictures are old but style and set up of property is the same. Plenty of towels for bath and pool. Not the cleanest, I vacuumed the sunroom and got a whole bin of dog hair from previous stays. No laundry detergent for washing them as instructed for checkout.

The house was very clean upon arrival. The pool area is absolutely stunning! The cage over the pool is no longer there due to the hurricane, but this was not a problem. The beds were comfortable. I loved the split plan of the house, putting the master on one side and the other two bedrooms on the other side of the house. The sun room was amazing! The sliding glass doors open all the way up to let the outside in! Len was a great host. He was very quick to respond when I reached out to him. Very helpful, thoughtful and nice. We loved the place! We will be returning!!!

For what we paid for this house it worked out well for our trip. The only negative was the cleaning lady did not do a very good job but it was livable. The hurricane had done some damage but overall I would definitely stay there again. It was a good location between the towns we wanted to visit.

House is in need of repairs in several areas:
* Toilet in ensuite bath is completely loose on the floor. This and its very low height make it difficult to use.
* Main lights in ensuite bath were not functional
* Shower floor trim tile had fallen off and was stored in the closet.
* Bathroom counters (both bathrooms) are so low that they are difficult to use
* Vertical blinds throughout house are in disrepair. In primary bedroom, the vertical blinds did not provide any privacy from the adjacent sun room and required to be covered by a sheet.
* Bath towels were so worn out that we chose to purchase new towels for our use.
* Front porch entry is so slick when wet that it poses a danger. Repositioning the matt helped with this.
* Hurricane damage to lanai and dock is severe and not addressed. All other houses on street have addressed any storm damage.
* Kitchen dishes/utensils were bad - completely dull knives, no cutting board
* Garage door opener does not operate properly resulting in banging noise at end of travel.
* Kitchen refrigerator ice maker worked erratically - made ice during about half of our stay.

We had a great time, the only thing was the hurricane damage has not been completely fixed so the pool and spa are not screened but it didn't affect us.

This property sits on a canal in a quite neighborhood near several excellent beaches. The home is large with ample sleeping arrangements and a nice pool and spa. The only negative is the remaining storm damage from Ian which the owner is working on. We stayed during Hurricane Idalia and the home held up well and kept us sheltered.

What a wonderful place this is. Clean comfortable and relaxing. Just what we were looking for Beautiful home on a canal heated pool. Can not say enough about how much we enjoyed it. Our family got together for a relaxing weekend of sitting by the pool and just spending time together and this home was just right. Would recommend this home and would book it again

We really enjoyed the house. I had young children and they loved the pool. The location was what we wanted because we have family near by, since this is a vacation, sea world and lego land are about 2.5 hours away. You will spend 5 hours a day driving there and back.
The owner replied quickly to emails and the cleaning lady was nice when we ran into her at check-in.
The only negative that I can say about this house is that there is no smart tv or an alternative to a smart tv (amazon fire stick/apple tv). The wifi worked great, but we hardly turned on the tv because the children didn't have access to netflix. Not really a big issue since we didn't come on vacation to watch tv, but it would have been nice on some nights.
I would recommend this house to anyone that understands where this house is located. It's about 20 minutes from some really nice beaches, and about 2.5 hours from the usual Florida vacation theme parks.

Read to the end. It got worse and worse. The owner doesn’t have access details in VRBO and never sent anything. It took more than 3 hours past check-in of calls, emails, and on hold with VRBO to get access. Once in, we first realized one bedroom had water damage and was so wet and mildew-smelling that we couldn’t use it. The carpet floor was covered in big wet stains. we rented a 3 bedroom home and couldn’t use it so the kids had to sleep on the couch all week. The home has visible structural type damage that we guessed allowed the water intrusion. At first the owner acted like he didn’t know about it but then said he did. There was mold in the showers, air handler was all moldy too. Floors were clean but nothing else was. Cabinets, doors, walls, curtains, tubs, showers. freezer, etc all dirty. The spa completely drained 3 times while we were there. The sliding glass doors don’t work. The grill l was told was there had a big “do not use” sign on it. The beds were made but the sheets were dirty. We even found dirty socks under the pillows. When we tried to find clean sheets we went through the whole linen closet and multiple sheets had blood stains. We spent the whole first night cleaning and doing laundry. We didn’t want to cancel the kids vacation. The hall bathroom door didn’t work well and we had to rehang it every time we used the shower. It even fell on my 8 year old. It was very scary. The stove and fridge do not work well. We bought steaks and they went bad in the fridge. When we rented it we picked it because it looked clean in the pictures and because of the outside area and location. All of the benches outside were broken. This house has not had a deep clean or any typical maintenance in a long time. I seriously think it has structural damage as well. It should not be allowed on VRBO especially since it has no property manager to take care of it. The owner is out of state. Also, we paid in full and then got an additional “power” bill that wasn’t in the listing details. The owner said Florida people just use too much A/C and blamed the pool. We should have known it wasn’t going to go well but there were so few places where we wanted that we could bring the boat. Overall, we will never use VRBO again. There’s no owner accountability and this property was not cared for.
