We loved the house very clean
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay, including plenty of beds, a washer and dryer, and basic kitchen appliances. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas in the garage, which were a great convenience.At the same time, the home could benefit from some updates, as a few furnishings showed wear and tear, such as rickety table and chairs, paint chipping in the bathtub, stained rugs, and some scuff marks on the walls. The pool area itself was very nice and inviting, though it is close to a main road, so there was some noticeable traffic noise.

Good location--close to 3 gorgeous beaches (Cortez, Coquina, Manatee) with bike path we used to avoid Cortez Road traffic to the island. We loved exploring Longboat Key beaches too.Loved the pool with lanai and outdoor couches/big screen tv movie night. Traffic was a bit loud at times but we just turned up the outside music/movie volume!Plenty of functional living space. Beds were fine. Kitchen had a ton of cooking pots and pans--missed hot pads.Nice volume of towels for beach and home.Tons of beach toys, umbrella and chairs in the garage--and loved garage opener and parking out of the sun/elements overnight.Olga was a fantastic host communicator.Requires a car but the pool and access to numerous beaches with free parking was wonderful!
