Wonderful stay in a very well maintained house with a wonderful location. Thank you for your hospitality.

The house and property were wonderful. It was well stocked with just about anything one could need. The location was very convenient to stores and restaurants. It was nice not having to motor down long canals in order to access the Gulf by boat. Communication with the host was excellent.

Enjoyed our wonderful stay in paradise. We drank coffee on the balcony every morning and often saw dolphins, manatees or turtles. Also enjoyed beautiful sunsets each evening. Everything you need is here, so all you have to do is enjoy your vacation. The home was very clean and the host was very communicative. Would love to stay here again in the future.

First I will start with the positives. The house is very clean and has very nice décor. The upscale Trex deck and lighting outside is beautiful and nice to sit out on (has some shade cover). The pool was great with a sitting area in the shallow end. The open waterway was inviting (not stuck on a canal) Rod was quick to respond with our questions and concerns. Where this place falls short is a lot of little things that add up. Which for the benefit of the doubt could be the result of a new cleaning crew as Rod had mentioned. However; we came in to only the toilet paper left on the role for each bathroom (no extras). No paper towel, no extra garbage bags, no laundry detergent, no hand soap (although Rod had the cleaning service bring us mini travel bars of soap later on), no coffee, and no spices (just salt) - Rod however did indicate he would reimburse us for spices we bought, however at that point we already did our grocery shopping for the week. The other things that were not clear in the listing: 75 feet of dock space is not really the case, as Rod has his boat there taking up about half of this space. This was not made clear to us before booking. The layout of the house is all on the second floor. You do not have access to the lower level living space, which is not clear in the listing. Rod appears to have another rental space on the lower level, however he assured us it was not in use. The hot water was another thing. It took anywhere from 5-15 minutes to heat up, then within 5 minutes got cold and stayed cold for a few minutes then got warm again and repeated the cycle of cold hot cold hot. All in all these little things add up when your spending near $5K a week, you expect the five star amenities and accurate description to come with your rental. It did not ruin our vacation, we still had a great time.
