Great views! Clean home!

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.

Sigh….. I loved this property and honestly would stay here again. However, I was send the code to the lockbox and we couldn’t get the box open. There were 5 of us and none of us could open it. I messaged Frank and he didn’t respond. We found a sliding glass door that was unlocked and we entered that way. The refrigerator was not cooling and we had a lot of groceries for the 4 days we were staying. I again messaged Frank and he didn’t respond. There was a wine refrigerator there that could have saved the day but that didn’t work either. Since I didn’t receive a response I called VRBO and they assured me it would be fixed in the morning. By the first evening, the sliding glass doors from the family room to the back yard would not open. The only way to get to the pool area was through the master bedroom or go out the front door and walk around. The next morning someone came by and said she was the owner. She played with a Refrigerator and also played with a sliding glass doors. The refrigerator eventually turned on, but the sliding glass doors never opened to the back. The location was amazing! We brought our boat and the house had two operations docks which was a huge plus! At one point we tried to cook and the stove kept turning off. Again messaged Frank and received no answer. We ended up flipping the breaker and it turned on. Overall, we had a great stay and I would say here again, I would just prepare my trip differently.
