Perfect get away
We stayed at this property for 3 weeks and it was perfect. Felt more like a home and not a rental property. Beds were comfortable, Bathrooms were large and done well, Kitchen was very nice with everything you needed (fridge opens the wrong way). It felt like a wildlife sanctuary surrounded by large trees in the back yard.

The house is as described .
The house is in a nice neighborhood and not far from the beach. Lots of great restaurants and plenty of shopping are nearby. You are given start up hygiene, paper products and dish detergents. You will need to replenish. The beds were comfortable and you have plenty of space for your items. They have 3 folding chairs and 2 umbrellas for the beach.

Infestation problem
While the house itself was nice inside, the outside left us a bit unsure as we pulled up for the first time. Once in, the nice pool in the pictures needed time to be cleaned up only to find it was unheated and freezing cold. Our kids were unfortunately unable to use it. I wish that had been disclosed prior to renting. There was also an awful ant infestation in the kitchen with ants crawling evening inside the bowls which led us to be uncomfortable even using the kitchen area.

Family vacation
First impression was not great. Things could have been cleaned up a bit better outside. The house was nice on the inside. The biggest draw back was the renter that stays in a back part off the house. He was burning things while we were there. It really made me uneasy knowing someone was around there while my kids were swimming.

The property was very roomy and had everything we needed. There there is someone that lives on the property but he does not face the property and does not come around. Just know that if you are a skinny Dipper the pool guy shows up unannounced. We enjoyed the place and would stay there again. It's about a 10-minute drive to Siesta Key Beach in 20 minutes drive to Lido beach. Restaurants are not far but you do need to drive as this is in a residential neighborhood. It was very quiet there.

Overall nice place but a few unusual surprises
My kids and i enjoyed the stay, great pool, nice older florida home, great location.
I travel often and was surprised by some of the standard polices of this management company.
There were no wash cloths or dish cloths, napkins or paper towels. We only had 1 extra roll of toilet paper aside from the roll in use in both bathrooms. After i took.out the large kitchen trash i discovered the only bags to replace were small can size that fit the small can underthe sink. We were there 3 nights and only 2 dishwasher pods were provided. No laundry detergent is provided and thats understandable but check out instructions ask that you wash the sheets. I normally leave a rental very clean but i had no way to wipe the counters and no way to wash the dishes. I was told after welcome packets are used guests should purchase these things. I did not do that as it would cost a lot to buy toilet paper, handsoap, dish soap, and ex

Ideal Vacation Home
Pros:
-Updated, cheerful decor.
-Home was very clean.
-Varied selection of board games and books.
-Pool was well maintained and clean .
-Home is less than ten minutes to Siesta Beach.
-Close to Supermarkets and coffee.
-Quick response from Management when the AC temporarily went out.
Cons:
-There is a tenant that occupies the adjacent MIL-type space located on the property, so don't be surprised to see a vehicle in the driveway upon arrival.
Although we had absolutely no issues with them whatsoever, it was still a bit... close for comfort.
-Outdated kitchen cookware and appliances. Almost as if the kitchen space was an afterthought. Knives so dull that they're almost a hazard at this point.
Overall, it was a great, clean and well-maintained house, and for the price, we would definitely book again!
