Dream Home with Gulf and Intracoastal Views, Water Access

This house was just in an amazing location! Did some work need to be done on the outside? Absolutely. But the inside was clean. All the bedrooms were great. Did I mention location?? You had the intercoastal waterway in the back and the gulf across the street in the front. We watched dolphins and manatees daily from the dock. Most things you needed were within walking distance and the trolly stop was right across the street. We enjoyed our stay here immensely and would definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time together at this home. Great location and a beautiful beach right across the street. Pool and hot tub were so relaxing and right on the water.

We arrived 45 minutes after check-in time - and the cleaning crew was still working. We were told that the previous occupants left the place in a mess - - so we tried to be understanding about that. I would say that the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and nicely appointed. I can't say as much about the main living areas. The floor of the main living area I don't think was mopped at all after the last occupants - the floor felt dirty to bare feet and the bottoms of our feet showed a lot of dirt transfer. The windows the the back were dirty, and we cleaned those ourselves. There was also a fair amount of greasy film on the kitchen appliances and I cleaned those myself. There were two area rugs that were in bad need of replacement. There was a decor item on the kitchen island that I moved to a much less visible area - it was a broken ceramic pitcher with some very sad looking sprigs of sea grass in it. There was some obvious signs of wear on the furniture. I communicated with the owner early on about some of the cleanliness issues and we came to a mutual agreement on compensation. We also had some concerns regarding the pocket door in the upstairs bathroom and the working of the elevator, and they were very responsive. My family enjoyed our time there. I don't know how often the owner stops in to check on this property, however as a former VRBO host, it might behoove them to check in on the general condition of the place.

The house siding was coming off and some of it was missing , it also had moss growing on the side of the house there was a tarp covering the roof where the shingles were missing, and it was hanging down the side of the house also weeds in grass growing on the patio by the swimming pool and missing tile in numerous places, the heater on the Jacuzzi did not work at least three different doors would not close and one of the door knobs was even backwards to where if you locked it someone one could not get out not enough towels lightbulbs burned out didn’t have a TV remote in one of the bedrooms ceiling fan didn’t work , we didn’t use the grills. They were too dirty to even touch no ping-pong balls so you could not use it. No lights on walkway out to water,and numerous other things were wrong.
