I will start off by saying, read the other reviews of the property! Pete was quick to blame the other renters for their experience, so I wanted to give him and the property a chance and go in with an open mind. Prior to our arrival, I asked Pete if we could have two boat trailers at the house because in the “rules” it says 4 vehicles. So I took that as 4 vehicles. He informed me that actually means a truck and trailer are considered 2 vehicles. There is contradicting information in the rules about boat length and many other things. I told Pete ahead of time that we were going to have people (one of the children included) staying in the lower room and asked if he could please have the AC turned on ahead of time so the room could “air out”. He did have the window unit on when we arrived but the room was TERRIBLY musty. Our friends said the window unit turned off about every 45 minutes and they had to continually turn it back on all night. The upstairs was so dirty I went to the store and bought cleaning stuff to clean the entire house. Pete is going to say that I never contacted him or the cleaning company about the house being dirty. But I wasn’t about to call him or the cleaning company to come clean the house that was supposed to already be clean. At that point I would rather do it myself so it is done and we can start enjoying our vacation. Honestly I don’t think anyone had even been there to clean prior to our arrival. All of the negative reviews are accurate!

We had a wonderful stay. The only thing that we didn't like was the owner had the thermostat on a remote nest. He controlled whether we had heat or air in the house. He said to call or email us when we needed it changed. When we woke up in the AM and needed it changed we called him and then he complained we woke his family up.

The place was overall musty and unclean . There was zero extra sheets or blankets . The owner of the home was rude and not helpful .. he said the room downstairs hadn’t Been opened for a month and asked me to open it when I got there to air it out .. I did .. it didn’t help . My adult children stayed in there the first night and had to take the sheets off because they said there was con webs in the corners . Luckily they brought a blanket .. we remitted the place to have our who’s family together for Christmas.. we checked out at noon Christmas Eve because they couldn’t sleep another night in there . It sucked !!!! Merry Christmas

Perfect for our two family getaway with kids and our four legged friends. We were able to bring our own boat and took advantage of the kayaks as well. Close to everything, yet private and woodsy.

Everything worked and we really enjoyed our stay.

The place is nice! Would stay here again.

First impression was open and nice. Upon settling in we realized the bedrooms have no place to put your clothes. We rented the house for 10 days. One luggage rack for each of the 2 bedrooms. NO dresser in either bedroom, so your clothes lived in a suitcase on the floor. One bed in the second bedroom had a 2x4 supporting it. Tile and grout needed a deep cleaning, We were a group of 7 adults there were 2 wine glasses, the 4 large coffee mugs had cracks and chips in them, and 2 bowls for food preparation. Little black bugs along the wall/ceiling areas which indicates the house was not properly cleaned before our arrival. This area is nice and is around the wetlands so bugs are expected. The deck has rotten areas in it and the downstairs bedroom is diffently musty. The house is in need of TLC. The second bedroom has a piece of laminate flooring missing and the threshold wouldn't stay in place. There was only one medium sized tv, but the internet and cable worked fine. If these areas were addressed it would be a great place for a group. We were a party of 2 families with grown children now who do scalloping every year for at least 15 years. The house was big enough for everyone to be together as well as able to spread out. Boaters be aware the house is located in an area where the marinas will not allow you to rent a boat and keep it at the house. I wrote this review so you would address and hopefully fix the issues because this house has potential.

we did enjoy our stay and the property, quick and easy to get to the gulf or springs if you are some what knowledgeable about the area and understand tides and oyster bars, we left one of our vehicles downtown on Citrus street for 3 days in lieu of trying to pay to park at some other location, we did not know this was an option but one of the park employees said this is what a lot of people do?? we would recommend this house to others, items of concern were the yard was very high, dishes were not cleaned, used wash cloths/towels still in shower, sheets on the hide a bed had not been cleaned, wet sheets were still in dryer, dirty dishwasher, need to check for a leak under the kitchen sink, bags of trash were left in the yard by others previously. down stairs room and toilet had not been cleaned at all.
