I chose this property because so many past travelers raved about the layout, the amenities, and the outdoor setup and they were absolutely right about those features. The layout and overall space of the house are fantastic, providing plenty of room to relax. The screened-in pool area, natural waterfall, and hot tub are beautiful and were definitely the highlights of our stay. We also really appreciated the extra amenities provided, like the beach gear and extra towels, which made packing much easier. Additionally, the host was highly reachable and very pleasant to communicate with.However, I was surprised by the lack of cleanliness when we arrived. The pool area itself was quite dirty, and we had to spend our first morning sweeping the floors and cleaning all the touchable surfaces just to get it into a comfortable condition. Furthermore, the property is in need of a thorough deep dusting; the AC vents were visibly dusty, and the interior decorations had a noticeable layer of dust on them.It is a wonderful home with a spectacular outdoor area, but the housekeeping and turn-down service need to be stepped up to match the quality of the property itself.

Bay Acres was our introduction to Osprey Florida. The location was ideal in a sense due to its proximity to a nice small dog park and several beaches specifically Siesta Key Beach. We also found Walmart very handy as it was essentially within walking distance. The home itself had a very good layout with its sliding glass doors leading to the pool. The solar blanket keeps the pool warmer though we didn’t use it. My family indicated they had everything they needed in terms of beach supplies, the kitchenware, the pool and bedrooms. Keep in mind this is a bit older than some of the more expensive Vrbo models closer to Siesta Kry but we were within a fifteen to twenty minute drive to Nikomos Beach as well and Venice Dog Beach. We were close to urgent care too. The kayak launch across the road was very handy and my son enjoyed kayaking to Spanish Point unhindered. Most of all our little puppy enjoyed chasing rabbits and squirrels. We also felt safe and comfortable. We found several very good restaurants nearby and really liked the family Thai restaurant. Nearby Selby Botanical Gardens was especially memorable and a day trip to Sarasota’s Ringling Art Museum added cultural charm. Thank you for being a great host! Our host accommodated our arrival and departure to make our trip run smoothly.

Close to best beaches and a great pool. Owner is a great communicator and quick to respond to questions.

We had issues from the time we finished exploring our Vrbo, starring with the hot tub, no instructions for use or switch to turn on. The TV in master bedroom was not working, I am one of those people who have to have a tv on to sleep. And there was no propane for the gas grill, that was listed on the amenities. The cleanness of the outside was just lacking, it was like they took the pool cover off and that was it, very disappointing. The pool itself was dirty, lots of bugs and the bottom of the pool!! Was just a disappointing arrival and didn’t get any better until the vacation was almost over!!
