This was the best stay ever!!! The kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun!

The view was fantastic and we loved seeing the manatees every day with an occasional dolphin! Frank was responsive when we reached out and almost all issues were quickly resolved. The property could use some sprucing up and it was mostly clean except for left over food crumbs under the sofa, broken safety glass from an outside table left on the grass and the sand blowing in from the construction next door. The sand was absolutely not the owners fault! Unfortunately one of the docks was broken from a storm shortly before we arrived and the pool timer was not working, neither of which Frank seemed inclined to fix. There is not a full set of eating utensils so we ran the dishwasher everyday. A cutting board and a broiler pan would've been helpful. It was a bit cold for the pool but the location is tops.

The location, view, water access and cleanliness of interior was good. Our only interior complaint would be that the master bath shower head needs replacing.The cleanliness of exterior and grounds were poor but the host was responsive when we let him know. The pool was unusable and green when we got there. The pool person came the next day after check in and shocked the pool. Our stay was only 3 nights so the pool was basically unusable. Once the chemicals cleared third da, it still needed to be scrubbed. The fire pit was overgrown, the outdoor shower was broken, the door was off the hinges and left inside the shower bay and the walls green with mold. There was some moldy broken and furniture left on the grounds and the wind screen on the outdoor seating area blew torn and tattered. The house directly next store is a new build and there was heavy equipment and noise but not until the day we checked out likely because of the rain. Again, the interior was clean and spacious as advertised but the exterior conditions other than the view were unfortunately a disappointment.

The home’s location is the absolute best and we stayed here last year for that reason.
However, there are things around the house still broken and worn out from last year (the outdoor shower is worn out, the outside gazebo is still missing a roof, the water faucets throw water out, the wine cooler is broken, the pool tiles are still gross and the pool is cloudy, still cinderblocks in the closet from last year, etc.). There’s just a lack of care in the home and you can tell this house is just a money making side gig. The sheets aren’t even cotton (polyester). For the price, it’s sub par. We won’t stay again.
Surrounded by water, great for relaxing, fire pit for Smores. Great fishing, lots of wildlife. It's got everything. Entertainment is not that far away by boat or car. Grocery store is about a mile; shopping, snorkel, restaurants it all here we also have 4 kayaks 2 paddle boards and 2 docks for your boats for the scallopers or the fishermen. We also have dolphins and manatees that like to come by and say hi, great for the kids to see and the and pool is not heated
