Florida Canal Balcony view- Quiet Neighborhood and 10 minutes to the Beach!

Beautiful setting on a canal!

A fantastic place to stay! The property is true to the pictures and is so much better. It was clean, quiet, comfortable and truly “home away from home”. It had all the amenities and is close to everything. Scott and Maryann are great hosts and so very pleasant. I highly recommend their place and look forward to booking it again next year.Thank you Scott and Maryann!

Property was exactly as described. Super clean and furnished well. Communication was excellent and place was minutes from good night life. Will be back!

The apartment was lovely. Very large open rooms, with huge windows to let in the Florida sun and ocean breezes. Large open concept kitchen and living room, bedrooms are spacious and have plenty of storage for short or long stays. Kitchen was well equipped (but don’t touch the wine bottle on the counter-it’s just for decoration). Since we stayed during covid, we cooked almost every meal had had plenty of cookware, dishes, silverware, and even oils and vinegars, plus some spices. The large slider door to the porch let in an abundance of light, and the porch has several comfortable plastic Anarondack chairs. One was broken but laid in pieces in the corner. There was an electric grill on the porch that we tried to use one night, but didn’t quite get hot enough to grill steaks. I’m sure it would be fine for hot dogs or burgers. WiFi was good, except I could not get a signal from the porch. Easy and convenient location to shopping and a 10 minute drive to the beaches. The driveway had plenty of space to park, but don’t get near the garage door, even if your space is blocked. We came home from the beach the second day, and there was another car in the driveway. I parked as close as I could, but still managed to slightly block the garage door. Minutes later the owner returned and opened the front door and yelled at me to move my car. Very friendly encounter. But there were plenty of beach towels and chairs available to use. It’s a great place to stay but don’t expect warm hospitality or welcoming graciousness from the owners. They were consistently rude during all interactions. Never offered any greeting or hospitality. About 2 hours after we left I got an email from the owner claiming we broke a chair on the porch, ruined the cuisinart coffee maker, drank a bottle of wine that was left on display on the counter in the kitchen and stole a wine opener. It was a very harsh and insulting email. Then I remembered that the owner required either a $3000 (!) damage deposit or an insurance policy be taken out. I opted for the policy. And she filed a claim for over $300 in damage and theft! So I called the insurance company and reported the fraudulent claim. 3 days later she apologized, said the “culprit had fessed up” and retracted the claim. So it’s a nice place to rent for sort or long stays, but take pictures and report any damages immediately. Don’t expect any warmth or graciousness, and beware of the owner.
