R&R Getaway Comfort on the water!

Place was perfect

Great place to stay boat park right against camp in and out clean host easy to get in touch with great job will be back

The house is prime location. Pulled my 25ft Everglades down and tied it off in front of the house. House was clean and spacious for 3 people. The window units kept the house plenty cold. A coupe negatives I had: the pictures show a small ice machine and it had been removed, there wasn’t much shampoo and wash, the grill was pretty banged up, and there was no water hose to use in the front of the house. Fortunately we brought our own grill and I keep an expandable hose on the boat. These weren’t trip killers but would’ve been nice to have this disclosed.

Start with the good - fabulous location if you want to fish the Venice Area, you can park right in front and don't have to walk down a long dock. Great neighbors own the houseboat next door, very friendly and helpful. The little houseboat was clean, it would have been way, to full for 8+ people, our group of three got crowded in the kitchen. The challenges... the ice machine would not make ice, the electronic backdoor lock would not work (low battery) so we couldn't lock the back door and get on the boat and go. The back door handle was barely held on by an aftermarket screw, that failed and fell off. We placed another screw into it just to make it functional. Better not bring a big boat or you will not be able to park on the houseboat if the neighbor is there. The big challenge is communication, i messaged the management prior to our trip that they did not include a phone number on any of their messages, received no response back. They didn't know where i could park the boat trailer, thankfully the dock guys did tell us about a lot near the houseboat. When i sent a message about the lock situation at check in....it took three days to get to get a response and the response was contact the number on back of the front door. Well, the information sheet on the back of the door, didn't say that...only to text upon departure. I have never had non responsive or poor property management with VRBO before and doesn't reflect well or make me want to rent next year..
