FANTASY ISLAND LIFE

Beautiful home and great location.

Enjoyed our stay! Clean home and in a great location. Close to the beach, ice cream shop, and shopping. Bren is a great host and always available to answer my questions. I would highly recommend staying here!

This property has a lot of great things about it. The space was clean and updated and there is plenty of space to hang out with family. There is a public beach access right across the street and the beach is super nice there. If you want lifeguards you can go just down the street to the Jensen Beach access. Communication with the host was easy. Overall it met most of our needs. What we found frustrating is that we booked because we thought we could tie up our boat to the dock. I think this part of the description is very misleading. The dock is much higher than the water. The only water level access is on a rickety ladder down to a small floating dock. There is no way to safely tie your boat to the higher deck or the floating dock. You could pull up temporarily - but the ladder makes it extremely difficult for littles and less fit people to access the boat. Forget about getting a cooler or equipment on and off the boat. The house was great in that it included bikes, beach chairs and kayaks - but I am not sure who is strong enough to lift kayaks down the ladder to the water and back. Possibly older teens, young adults. There is no lift system to get anything down to water level. Again the ladder is a bit loose. Anyways it was a great stay in many ways - but I feelMislead about the access to the water and that was a main reason our family booked. It would also be nice if there was an enclosed porch somewhere so you enjoy the evenings - no seeums were prevalent.

The property is fantastic BUT there are things you should know about it. It is a duplex with a wall between you and the other half of the duplex. I feel like that should be disclosed in the description. There is a picture in their listing that has captions telling you about a private beach entrance, a heated pool, and a club house. None of those things are included with your stay, but you can drive the golf cart down to that entrance into the beach. If you take a car, it will be towed. The owners of this listing do not pay for access to this club house facility at all, so they really shouldn’t even be using the beach entrance there. It is private property. The pictures of the property are on point and the canal was great for the kayaks. It is equipped with all the beach items you might need and the space is really a good st up. The kitchen is well equipped and we had an amazing Thanksgiving there. My communication with the owners did not go well when I inquired about the pool AFTER I had paid and about 2 weeks before our trip. She rudely responded for me to just go ahead and cancel since we had a problem. She also said she would take that picture down from her listing, but it is presently still there. Our later communication was much better, and she allowed me access a little early to get prepared for family to come in which was nice.
