Beautiful Large Home Bike to Siesta Key, quiet neighborhood with LOCAL owners!

Host was super!

Clean and quick to help with issues.

David was such a welcoming host! The house was clean and organized when we arrived and was extremely spacious! My girlfriends and I really enjoyed our stay here.

We booked a 3 week stay. The GOOD- 1. Location - Conveniently located near Siesta Key. This is the best thing about the property. 2. Arrival - Molly was polite and professional via email. Met David at the House, who was flexible in meeting time. Oddly, David instructed us to do the house laundry for him at checkout. The BAD- 1. BUGS in the BED the first night!!!!! Laying in bed the first night bugs started flying in my face to the light on the Ipad screen. I turned on the light and found 5 bugs on the headboard! I got up and they were throughout the house! I spent an hour trying to kill all I could find. I texted David who was apologetic and sent an exterminator the next morning. 2. Noise - This old house is quite noisy. The hvac is right outside the thin walls of the master bedroom and is extremely loud when running. It makes it hard to sleep. Same with the water heater in the laundry room. 3. No Privacy - Front door is glass and has no shade. At night it shows right in to the common area where you watch tv. (there is only one tv in the house - circa 2005). Also, you share the house with another tenant - the owner now discloses this fact - it was not disclosed when we booked. With the thin walls, we heard her talking to her mother, eating, etc. We also had a joint router which was a problem. 3. Light - The master bedroom doors have glass panes that open to the common area, so there is no privacy and the doors open to a common courtyard that stays lit all night long on account of the tenant. There is no way to shut out the light when you sleep. 4. Bikes - When we booked, the ad promised 2 bikes, which we never got despite us confirming them via email prior to arrival. We ended up with 1 old Huffy kid bike (24" tire) and no other operable bikes. The UGLY.. DAVID SCREAMED AT US AT CHECKOUT! Checkout per VRBO was 11am but David mistakenly thought it was 10am. David called screaming at 10:30 as to why we were not out by 10 and that we were delaying his cleaner and being rude. He demanded an apology. I even sent him the screenshot showing 11am but he didn't care. We can only speculate, but we believe David’s anger toward us started when we denied his request to come through the house with prospective renters. We were working remotely with confidential materials through the house, and didnt feel comfortable with people coming thru the house. This appeared to anger David and he changed. That last day was very disturbing for us
