There are Pro’s and Con’s for this rental.First the Pro’s:
The house was clean and in quiet neighborhood, close to grocery store, pharmacy and Bealls. The owner was very prompt on any questions I had and let us check in an hour early, which we appreciated.The interior of the house was as pictured also clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the new pool cage.
Con’s-the outside pictures are deceiving, the yard is in TERRIBLE shape. One the reasons we chose this house was because of the lovely yard that is pictured. It is not as pictured at all. The propane was empty for the gas grill and owner stated that it is a consumable product and we had to fill, which we did, no problem. The issue I have is there was no way we were going to use a whole tank during our stay, but we did want to grill out so that was our choice to pay for the tank refill. I feel this is something the owners should take care of. We have stayed in other Florida homes that are relatively close to the beach. This home did not have any beach supplies to use. That’s fine if you’re driving there but not convenient when you’re flying to destination. We purchased an umbrella, 2 beach chairs and a small cooler to use during our stay and left them there for the next renters.
I wish I could give it a 5 star review.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2023
The house was nice inside and as advertised; however, the grounds had not been cared for. The pool was enjoyable but was not serviced until the 3rd week of our stay. The pool cage was missing due to hurricane Ian. There was no umbrella and it took a week for the owner to furnish one. The grille was in disrepair. They furnished a new one but I had to assemble it. The washer failed with 1.5 weeks left on our stay and the owner suggested a laundromat instead of a repair or replacement. So with all of that it was less than expected for $11K (nonrefundable) paid a year in advance. Location is close to shopping and a short drive to beaches and restaurants which were all great. Great water pressure! Though still recovering Englewood can be a great place to vacation.
