We had a wonderful stay here. The place is beautiful and exactly as pictured. Our communication with the host was exceptional. He sent a detailed message with check-in instructions and property information and went the extra mile to retrieve a lost phone for us. We appreciated both and had a great vacation here.

The property was in a convenient location and it was clean with a lot of basic supplies in the home. Quiet location and the kids loved the pool in the area between all of the other condos. Some of the things mentioned in the listing were not either functioning such as the fire feature on the lanai and the opportunity to use the clubhouse fitness center had to be coordinated with owner and there was no use of the clubhouse pool or social area either. The owner was easy to contact once we arrived at the location but prior to our stay was a little difficult to get a response from. The stay was quite a lot higher priced than stays we have had in other areas of Florida in the past and to be completely honest, Siesta Key across the street from the beach and restaurants was much more convenient for our family so we won’t be staying at this condo or even in the Anna Maria Island area again. But we do want to emphasize the condo was nice and offered everything we needed. The views from the lanai were nice, too.

Location and porch with sunset views were amazing. If you want to go to the advertised fitness facility or some of the other amenities, you need to coordinate with the host. Other than that we had a wonderful time and would recommend.

The property is lovely & view is great. The communication with David was less than optimal. The day before & the morning of our arrival I reached out to David requesting early check-in, but I never heard back. When we arrived (15 min after we could check in), David didnt answer the call to let us in. After several phone calls to his cell & calls using the gate phone, I got out of the car & ran through the gate when someone else was leaving. (Ignoring the stern look from the driver.) Once past the gate, I was able to get into the condo no problem, & was able to retrieve the fob that would open the gate. I reached out to David over the next 2 days letting him know we were there & explaining how we got in. On the 3rd day, I heard from him. He had an emergency that took him out of town. Understandable, but without me "breaking in", we wouldn't have been able to access the condo for 3 days. There should have been a back up plan--he knew we were coming. The photos showed a hot tub & a beach, & the writeup mentions & photos show a fire table on the patio. There was no fire table &* the property doesn't have a hot tub and it isn't near a beach. The photos are misleading.It would have been nice to have a welcome note or general info about the property or recommendations for restaurants or things to do close by. There were several lightbulbs that were out and/or that had super low wattage. There are several holes in the screens. Beds are comfy & condo is nicely furnished & stocked.
