The house was very clean upon arrival. The pool however was not clear. When we asked the pool maintenance man to clean it, he seemed to be very irritated with the request. But the pool was green. He did clean it and it cleared up. The dock on the adjoining property had fallen in. And that happens however the dock on our side is in serious need of a rebuild. When the tide was low you can see how bad the cracking is all of the way under it, large cracks not small. When the crew and owner arrived to work on the Fallen dock, they came to our side and said boards needed replacing, however they just flipped the boards over. When they did this they left very rusty screws all over the dock and yard. I picked them up. The dock is NOT nailed down well, children would need to be careful where they walked. The extra bathroom has a very distinct smell of sewage. The house is however is very spacious

Excellent

This is a beautiful house in a great location. We enjoyed the time we were there. I just wish it was longer. We had plenty of linens and appreciated the use of the washer and dryer. Having 2 refrigerators was a great idea. There were a few issues we had during the week though. There were sugar ants in the kitchen in the beginning of the week but we took care of them. The utensils needed to be washed before we could use them. The internet was week and did not reach to the upstairs tvs. The direct tv did not work well. There were many switches for lights and we figured them out by the end of the week. If you could add a print out of what switch works what lights it would be helpful. We were unable to turn the pool light on in the evenings. It would be beneficial to put a ladder on the dock to be able to enter and exit boats during low tide or if someone falls off the dock by accident. If a watch charger and Roku remote was found in the master bedroom, it would be very appreciated if it could be mailed to us. One other thing is if there could be more parking, the bushes in the front could enable another car or boat trailer to be able to park there. All in all we had a very enjoyable week and hope to be able to vacation in the keys another time. Thank you for listening.

Overall nice house. Owner is in the process of updating and some projects weren't complete. Very large kitchen and comfy family room couches. Plenty of room for the entire family. It was convenient to have a boat ramp on the property. Not all boats observed the "No Wake Zone" but we came prepared with a bungee anchor to keep the boat from hitting the dock. Quick access to the ocean, which was really nice.

This was our 3rd time staying here. It has been a few years since our last visit. Location is great however the the house needs some TLC. The decking around the pool has some uneven places that caused my Grandson to fall. The furniture around the pool needs to be replaces. The decking on the dock needs repair. If repairs are made and listed we would stay here again, but as is I will look elsewhere.

Our stay was amazing, and we hope to return someday soon. Thank you so much!

Everything went very smoothly. House was spacious and easy to be in. We loved the pool and dock! Great spot to dock our boat and fish.

We rented both connected units great for our large group. Loved the location for our boats and walking distance to restaurants. Will definitely go back again!

Other reviews are accurate. This house is old and is in need of some major renovations/upgrades. Had a problem with ac. Response from Property Manager was great even though it seems as if the units are not capable of handling such a large house. We were comfortable. Pool and pool pavers are in poor shape. Garden tub leaked into garage. When I told the Maintenance man he said he already knew however we were not told. Glad none of our stuff was under the LARGE leak in garage. Overall good stay. My main problem would be the flies that hang around the garbage cans which are by the front door. I even washed the cans out to no avail. Would consider staying again.

Large dock for boating and fishing off dock with excellent access to waterways. Plenty of room for families, however the house is in need of updating, painting and repairs. Housekeeping and cleaning could definitely be improved.

The location was amazing. The house was very large for our party of 7 but could definitely use some updating. First, the stove did not work correctly. The eyes were way off in temperature. The dishwasher doesn’t work. There was a great variety of kitchen utensils/appliances. The house was invaded by flys. The trash cans without lids are right at the front door and flies fly in every time you open the door. There are only 3 bikes not 4 and we couldn’t ride any of them. One is missing the handlebar grips. They all had flat tires and there was a pump but it did not fit the valve stem. There were pool chairs but half were broken and there wasn’t very many beach chairs or floats. The biggest disappointment was the lights at the dock did not work. Not one of them. Our plan was to night fish (I have boys) and we had to do this in the pitch black dark. We contacted the manager and owner with a response that the electrical company was called. They said they would come at 530 on Thursday when we contacted them on Monday. They never came. The manager did come and change the lights but that didn’t correct the problem. Also, the pool light still doesn’t work. They said the pool company has ordered the light but it had not come in. I see in past post this has been a problem as far backI as February. This makes me think is not repairable. The owner and manager were very responsive when I contacted them but could not resolve the issues. It’s sad that this property has been neglected when it’s such a great vacation spot. After all this I would probably rent again but it’s too expensive when none of the money has been put back into the property.

The location is amazing. A 3 minute boat ride to the open water, a private dock, a boat ramp and plenty of room for the boat trailer. The house itself was average. But anyone renting this house usually wouldn’t be planning on spending much time inside due to the location. Similar to other reviews, it is outdated and wasn’t cleaned properly. We had to wash the bed linens and the pillow cases in the master due to hair being in the pillow cases and sheets. Very roomy and comfortable beds. Big kitchen. Could use some more towels, utensils and linens. But nothing with the house itself, that hindered our stay. The house offers access to a private beach club with pool, bar, food and a beach which was a plus. The only reason that I gave three stars was due to the cleanliness and the checkout process. Checkout time was 10am. As other people stated the cleaning crew arrived around 8am. As I was loading my truck and boat, they asked me if we could be out as soon as we can because there were other people checking in that day. They were just staring at us while we were loading the boat and the truck like we were inconveniencing them by still being there at 8. Check in time is not until 3pm. If I was out by 10am, the stated checkout time, that would give the two of them 5 hours to clean. I could clean and do a better job, by myself, in half the time. They entered the adjoining property while the guests were loading and began to clean while the family was still in the house, well before 10am. In my opinion rather inexcusable and rude. I would suggest to the owner to read the reviews and fix the things that are repeated in multiple reviews, that are under their control. Other than that overall a great stay.

The rental property furniture needs some updating. We had some issues with the kitchen chairs. The pool was great except there should be some directions as to how to maintain the temperature and water level. Didn't know we were supposed to keep it filled to a certain level. Lost a day because of that. No garbage bags were available when we were supposed to take out the garbage on garbage day. The glass table tops were very dirty and the TV screen was also dirty. The air conditioner in the master bedroom was very noisy. All the hot water faucets in the bedrooms had low water pressure. One closet door in bedroom was completely off. We found dirty laundry that was left behind in one of the dresser drawers. All in all the property was very spacious. The outside could also need some upkeeping. The pool furniture could also need some updating. The portable radio antenna was broken off and couldn't have music by the pool because there was no outlet. Loved the access to the Cabana Club and the canal.

We had a good time. Based on the reviews we we’re pretty confident we knew what to expect. We were right, read the reviews and they are all spot on. It is a little outdated and they did come and try to replace the couch when we were there. They did replace the grill which was great. The house is set to have up to 10 people. Flatware was short (only 4 steak knives). Pool could be refinished but it worked except for the light. Overall we had a great time, but there could be some improvements for sure, especially for the price. Owner and property owner did show at 8:30am which I felt could have been a little later in the day especially since we were on vacation and one day they came to do yard work that early as well. On check out day they showed up before we were completely out and although waited patiently we would have liked to not have to move around them. There is a rather large Iguana that lives in the Mangrove by the dock. He suns on the dock sometimes, kids thought it was the coolest thing! He won’t bother you but very cool to watch! We rented a boat so made good use of the dock.

The house and pool were great. The stove did not work very well - one front burner got hot and stayed that way and the other front burner didn't get hot at all. The dishwasher didn't clean the dishes well either. Time for upgrades on those. Additional blankets would be nice too. Other than that we loved it there - would stay again for sure!

We were ther for 2 weeks. Overly large for my party of five and could probably accommodate twice that. It is a bit dated and needs some tlc (mostly outside), but none of that detracted from being able to really enjoy our stay at the property. Outdoor heated pool was quite large, heated and awesome. The location is fantastic and convenient. The grounds are a especially a great place to spend time outside. We even docked our rented boat right beside the house, which was great. The only real complaint is that the wi-fi is unusable upstairs in any of the bedrooms. However it's fine on the main level and even much of the backyard. Communications with the property manager when necessary was excellent. Very responsive. I met the owner as well, very gracious. We will return.
