I rarely give negative reviews but I feel it is necessary here. We were disappointed with the overall condition and cleanliness of the unit for what we paid. Furniture is uncomfortable, house was NOT clean. Open first aid kit with wrappers in kitchen cabinet, shower had mold, used napkins and left over food under kitchen trash can, stains on comforter, cigarette wrappers in dining area, cushions on outdoor furniture do not fit furniture and master BR is hot compared to the rest of the house. On a positive note, Kitchen was updated and well stocked and pool was nice. Most likely will not rent again for the $$.

There were several of us. We had issues with the plumbing but someone came out.
We would love to rent the property again but we notice they doubled the price to stay. The house is nice but it's not worth double the price

Great updated house near AMI!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the newly updated property near AMI! My husband, 2 teens, and mother had plenty of room to spread out. We stayed in another property in this neighborhood a few years ago; the neighborhood is quiet and great for walking/running. My husband and son caught many fish off the dock, and we loved the pool! My teen son was happy to find that it had a basketball goal. The kitchen and house were well stocked, even including beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, beach towels, etc. It was easy to get in touch with the property manager when we had a few quick questions. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Rental process was easy and smooth. Home is nice with a great pool area, although it is very clear that this is purely a rental property for the owners. The furniture throughout is fairly uncomfortable, including the pool furniture, which consists of some plastic lounge chairs and a very small and upright seating area - no way to lie down and relax. The mattress in the master bedroom is shot and sags badly towards the middle. We were charged to heat the pool, but the property manager refused to heat the pool above 85 degrees (90 is pretty standard for this time of year), so even after being charged the pool was really too cold to use (the weather was cloudy and windy, so not ideal conditions). The kitchen is very nice and well stocked and the property was immaculately clean.

Quiet and relaxing canal with not much movement.
Very close to Bean point with only a 25 minute boat ride and about the same to Jew Fish Key and Beer Can Island.
Can't wait to do it over as soon as the property becomes available again.

This was an absolutely lovely place to stay! Clean, bright and modern. The owners provided everything we could need from spices to sunscreen! The pool was amazing and the basketball hoop was an added bonus. The kayak was a breeze to use and the kids really enjoyed going out to the ocean and back. Cortez has great restaurants and AMI is only a short drive away. Would definitely stay again!

The house was recently totally remodeled and therefore, very clean and functional. The kitchen was great for cooking (the outdoor grill was great too). The pool area including the screen in area is where we spent most of our time. The neighborhood was very quiet and the place is a great location to bike to the beaches or for convenience to stores.

I need to describe this trip as an “experience”! It was nothing less than stellar. I can’t think of one thing that I would want different. The owners attention to detail for their property made the birthday weekend special.

Perfect Adults Trips
This property is a gem and we will be booking this home next year or any other time we go down to the area. The house is newly renovated and is absolutely beautiful and so clean. It was perfectly located to the bay which gives you perfect access to Longboat and Anna Maria Island. If you have a boat, this house is perfect. The house has the perfect peaceful JuJu and we had no issues just spening the time there. There was 6 adults and the house was so comfortable with us.
Something that was not listed on the info for the house, is that the house is FULLY stocked with everything you need. Beach towels, Beach chairs, and Umbrellas. There is a regular coffee maker as this was something we were wondering and so we brought ground coffee. Everything is the kitchen was in perfect condition and so comfortable to cook in as we did most meals. My only wish, is that rental homes near the beach would have a small deep freezer in the garage for guest to potentially keep bags of ice. Having a boat and spending the day on the way, would have been awesome!
This house was truly perfect and we cant wait to return again.. still without kids! ;-)
