Hot tub is old and needs repairs. Hot tub cover also flaking off into the hot tub. Second story deck off master and furniture that needs cleaned, repaired. One chair cannot be sat in or it will fall apart. Great space, great views.

Great Location/Bunk Beds Awkward

House would be great for two young families with children. We were a party of 3 couples plus one more adult. The bunk beds are all inside the two bedrooms upstairs. We ended up using the sleeper sofa because it felt awkward using the bunks. LOTS of stairs to climb! Big kitchen! Enjoyed the hot tub!

Our Favorite Little Spot on Money Bayou

We’ve stayed at Sweetwater Villa four times and just love it. It’s perfectly set up for our family and has become our home away from home when we need a week of low key relaxation. We love the lower outer deck, easy beach access for our golf cart and proximity to money bayou. The house is the perfect size for us and is well maintained. We hope to be back again soon!

Do not do business with this management company!

We have a lot of experience renting from VRBO and I hate to say that this was one of the worst. We rented this house specifically for the hot tub and the outdoor kitchen which looked so nice in the pictures. However, 4 days before arrival I read a review that said the hot tub wasn’t working properly so I called and asked if they could make sure it was fixed. They assured me they would. It did not happen, even though I called back multiple times during our stay. It was full of sand, no chemicals were added and it would come on and off randomly. The controls don’t work at all. We were very disappointed and let them know that to no avail. The outdoor kitchen is a joke. It was absolutely disgustingly filthy. We spent the first two hours we were there cleaning it so we could use it somewhat. The refrigerator smelled horribly and didn’t work (it did when moved to a different outlet) so we cleaned it really well and used it for drinks. The rest of the house was fine except the vent hood and lights above the cooktop doesn’t work at all and the microwave has seen it’s better days - it took 2-3 minutes to even melt butter. I called several times and the management company was always “going to get to the bottom of this” and “going to call me back” and was “waiting on word from the owner”. Never once did they call back or offer any solution whatsoever. This is just not how you do business if you want people to return. Oh, and just FYI, the Money Bayou which is a few feet from the property, dumps nasty black water into the ocean rendering it useless to play in. The beach isn’t crowded and is nice except for the vehicles driving up and down.

Great stay with some minor hiccups

Spectacular house and location! Only minor hiccups were several appliances stopped working and the hot tub didn’t work the entire week. I attribute the appliance piece to the harshness of the salt air and environment. The mgt company was quick to respond, however the hot tub tech did not respond to calls or emails, time to find another hot tub resource. Other than that, an epic vacation!!

Great Beach! Awful House with Roaches!

Upon our arrival we were given a lock box code. There was no lockbox on the door. There was a person there who let us in. We did not have a key and no way to lock the house when we left. Maintenance said they would come by. Never did. Also, upon our arrival we checked for cleanliness. There was hair in all the showers and bathroom floors. Lots of sand on the floor and counter tops in the kitchen. Because of how dirty it was, I had to go and purchase cleaning supplies to clean the bathrooms and kitchen. We also felt we needed to wash bed linens as well due to how dirty the house was. The bedspreads had stains on them. There was a dead fish in the refrigerator in the outside "kitchen". Also, in the master bedroom we found a glass with liquid in it in a dresser drawer. The tv remote to the living room was not working. The air conditioning stopped working on day 2. The repairman got us up and running quickly. The very WORST part was how we had to endure ROACHES all in the house. Maintenance was called again and sent someone to spray. He stated the house had a bad problem. We had our 5 and 14 month old grand babies. It was awful. The kitchen cookware needs to be updated!

Beautiful home with the most amazing deck views!

Best deck of any home I've stayed in the last 13 years down in PSJ/IP/CSB. The decks are screened and therefore the no-see-ums leave you alone in the morning and evening for coffee and drinks. The sunsets and moon are a full 180 view with no blockage. Gorgeous! Firepit is a great addition as well as the hot tub. We really enjoyed the lower deck and grill and spent a lot more time there than I would have expected. Quiet and peacful...great place. Beautful decor and CLEAN!!!

Beautiful property! That water though...

The house was great! The A/C had a little trouble keeping up but that was they only issue we had. It was consistently about 80 degrees inside. However, the water was the color of really strong ice tea. We knew that a fresh water source ran in near by but we had no idea it would make the water so brown. Luckily, the Cape San Blas public beach is pretty close and we were able to enjoy crystal clear water there.

Outdoor space and location were just superb

The outdoor space, the beach. Any issues were easy to overlook due to these two items alone. Upstairs king bed was extremely comfortable as well. Property is older so it has some "dings and dents"....had an issue with pest that took a while to resolve. But didn't harm the experience.

Everything we hoped for and more!

Just returned from a week of vacation and already thinking about when we can go back. This house was perfect in every way - great location, well stocked for cooking, great indoor and outdoor spaces, extremely well maintained, etc. My only complaint is the lack of window coverings in the living room area. We enjoyed the beach chair service and rented a golf cart for the week - a must have! We watched the beautiful sunsets every night and enjoyed checking out the crabs and bald eagles who live nearby. Can't wait to go back!
