Pros:
-The location of this house is in a quiet neighborhood just off the main road which we liked.
-Good communication with the property manager.
-Had beach chairs, carts, and toys in the garage to use.
-Propane grill to use.
Cons:
-The pictures in the listing make the house appear larger that it really is.
-The pool is very small and you have to pay extra per day to heat it.
-The floors appeared clean at first glance but were very dirty. After walking barefoot the bottoms of feet would turn black quickly. Most likely the cleaning crew mopped, however they just let the dirty waiter sit on the tile without trying to pick it up once the mop made the dirt loose.
-Furniture was a little uncomfortable and appeared a little dingy from use.
-Several tv remotes had dead batteries.

We had a great stay at the cottage.The location was fantastic! 10 min. Walk to the beach.The house was well stocked for cooking at “home”. We enjoyed many night around the table playing games. We loved the pool and spent a lot of time out by the pool.My complaints:*There was not enough bedding for the pull out couches.*Also, the pull out couch off the kitchen was terrible and not usable!!!*We paid for pool heat and it was not turned on until late the second day of our stay.*The do not stock supplies. We had to buy toilet paper(there were only 2 rolls when we arrived).*We had to fill the propane tank. There was not enough to grill even one meal.Overall, we had a great time!!!

The experience was good. The agent assigned from Beach Time Rentals was responsive and resolved our issues. We paid the for pool heat for our stay. When we arrived it was cold out and we we not aware the pool heat was turned off. We did call after two days and the agent sent out maintenance to turn on the breaker. We requested a refund for 2 days for the pool heat, which Beach Time agreed to give us. Our assigned agent helped us retrieve property we left behind after checking out. Much appreciated.

Property was fine & in a great location with everything we needed but slightly shabby throughout. Fixtures & fittings need updating. Garage was cluttered, three bikes & a tricycle all unusable. Pool area needed a clean/power-wash with damaged pool toys left behind. Also not enough seating.for all guests around the pool. Garden area was overgrown with grass not having been cut prior to our arrival or whilst we were there.

To start with, the manager let us in three hours early without charge She was pleasant and accommodating before we arrived. Now for the not so good: The outside front could use some yard work but the inside was clean and as described. The pool deck and pool were in clutter and disarray when we arrived. The deck was filthy with grime all over and the pool had a grimy yellow ring at water level. The master bedroom toilet kept running after flushing. I could manually stop it but it did cause a lot of wasted water use. I let the manager and the pool cleaning guy know but nothing was done to correct during my week stay. When I told the pool guy about the filthy condition of the pool he said this isn’t the Ritz and it’s not his responsibility. I explained to him that cleanliness has nothing to do with wealth. It was obvious what I had to say fell on deaf ears. The pool company did come and fix a leak at the pump that we didn’t have any idea about. Unfortunately, Beach Time Rentals poor cleaning and lack of response or action on the issues reflects on VRBO and we will be less likely in using the service in the future.

Amazing location, property mgmt. was very nice and responsive the day of check in. The bad….. all the beds are sunken in and in dire need of replacement. While there was a lot of things to use, which was AMAZING, the bikes need new chains, only 1 of the 4 semi-worked, the canopy is not useable, umbrellas need to be thrown away. Outdoor furniture is no where near as pictured and living room couch is beyond uncomfortable and makes noises when you sit down.

Conveniently located and well appointed home made for a nice pre-Christmas stop. Home was clean and well appointed with everything you need for staying in house most of the time, heated pool makes that easy to do.Would recommend for anyone looking to be in a quieter neighborhood but just a short 10-15 minute drive to all the popular destinations of Clearwater Beach area.

Awesome but could be better - inside the house was great but the outdoor furniture was/is in terrible condition and needs lots of yard work and exterior cleaning. When we arrived (Sat 4/16/22) there was a pile of garbage on the side of the driveway and all the bins were overflowing - broken toys, discarded coffee maker, huge amount of bubble wrap, and wet garbage. Since this was Easter weekend nothing could be done to remove the garbage. On Monday I placed all the garbage at the curb but was concerned that it wouldn't be picked-up so I contacted the management company and they must have sent somebody over to remove the excess garbage - the management company was very responsive and apologetic - they were great to work with. Not sure if I would rent this house again as the owner needs to replace the outside furniture and cleanup the landscaping and remove all the broken stuff from the garage. Such an awesome location and potentially an awesome house, but......

The house was not clean when we got there, there was horrible smell that was present in one of the cupboards which we figured out and took care of. The two pull out beds were junk and filthy. We didn't even use them. The TV in the main living room I do not believe is a smart TV. We couldn't get anything that we wanted to watch on it and we couldn't sync a phone to it. The bed rooms were nice. The cook ware was in very poor shape. The knives were nice. There was not cutting boards present other than a tiny one. I was frustrated that the cost of heating the pool was included and brought up at the very end. It was a place to lay our head that's it. Was very disappointed.

We enjoyed our stay at this house! Everything was clean on the inside, if I were to change one thing it would just be that the outside patio is a little bit more well manicured but it’s probably just because it’s winter in Florida. But it was a great house! Great communication with management team!

The home was extremely clean. The landscaping and pool area was super cute. Walkable to the beach but it is a bit of a hike and there are no sidewalks. However there is a lot of free parking at the beach. Very close to shops and restaurants but still in a nice quiet neighborhood. Everything you would need in the kitchen and for the beach was there. Overall a wonderful and obviously well loved home.

The check in and communication from the rental agency was amazing. They answered all of our questions pretty much immediately. The pool is a must in the Florida heat. The neighborhood is quiet. It was great having a washer and drier. The house came well equipped in the kitchen, bedroom and bathrooms for anything you might need. A few things that could be easily fixed. There were no working chairs or umbrellas for the beach. We did use the cart for the chairs and umbrellas we had to purchase (which were expensive). We never walked to the beach because it wasn’t a convenient walk. It gets hot and I don’t want to drag all of our beach stuff in the blazing heat for a lengthy walk to the beach access. The bikes in the garage were not in working order. The tires were flat and dry rot, the handle bar on one was broken and wore out. The pool had what seemed at one time to be a hot tub. The maintenance man said it probably broke and was never fixed. Now they call it a “over flow”. The back yard was not usable! We could barely get to the run down grill though the unkept grass and weeds, which made the bugs worse than they already are in Florida. The outdoor furniture seemed well worn and dirty. The chairs around the pool were also well worn. They worked, but only because we had no other choice. There are alot of toys and floats seemingly left by prior renters just thrown in a pile in the corner with no organization. The pool was clean and the temperature was good. The Florida room outside was nice to keep some bugs out. The front bedroom carpet was also wet wet when we arrived and had a sour smell. It seemed like it had just been poorly shampooed. Also, in the same room the bed was at an angle? The foot was up Hugh and the head was down low. Strange. I think with a little yard maintenance and cleaning and organizing of some of the outdoor areas, a new grill, some working bikes and beach chairs. This house could be really great. We wished we wouldn’t have had to drive to the beach each day!!!
