This property was perfect for our family of 5 -- 3 adults and two children. With four bedrooms, we each had our own place to sleep and the two children shared a Jack and Jill bathroom.
There were several problems when we first checked in with things not working --( Internet, TV, window blinds on remote, light in garage, pool heater), but the property manager came the first full day and took care of everything. He said they are so booked it's hard to get everything completed before the next guest arrives. That would be my only complaint.
The location is fantastic and the house is great. We were literally 20 steps from a beautiful secluded beach. It's on the Tampa Bay side of the island, so the water is warm and calm which was perfect for our two small children. The pool has a shallow play area where the toddler was very happy, and then a deeper five foot area that was great for the adults and older child. Though the pool was supposed to be heated, mostly it was cold. When the property manager came, the temperature went up to the promised temp of 85, but after that it went back down because it is in the shade most of the day.
Though we rented a car, we could have done without as the public trolley takes you around the island for free, and most people get around with a rented golf cart, which we ended up doing because of parking constraints with the car.
The garage is stocked with all kinds of playthings and beach equipment such as beach chairs, beach toys for kids, kayaks and life jackets. This was appreciated.
In the bathroom on the main floor with the kitchen, there is no shelf or hook in the shower to place soap, shampoo or anything. It's awkward taking a shower with everyone on the floor.
The kitchen has ample silverware, cookware and dishes, but guests must buy all staples as no supplies are provided except starter garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towel and dishwasher detergent. Therefore there is a lot of waste.
The management was very responsive to questions and needs.
The house and property are private and quiet, located near restaurants and the trolley. We highly recommend and would consider renting again.
