For starters, let's just get this out of the way: Janie is awesome! Incredibly accomodating, thoughtful and gives you the feeling that it's a family or friend, not renter/property owner relationship. She leaves no stone unturned and let's say: it's all about the details!
CHECK IN: well, due to all the terrific communication with Janie, we already had everything we needed to know and it was a very quick and simple process with gate security.
PARKING: very easy, parking garage keeps the autos nice and shaded (cool) and was really 2 minutes walking to unit.
CONDO: being that it was on the second floor, we used the stairwell vs the busy elevators (stair well was conviently located near the front door). You get a great view of that emerald colored water and it's right above the pool deck, which when the balcony doors are shut, you can't hear a sound. We were glad it wasn't a higher floor because of the busy elevators.
The 2 King beds are awesome! Good luck finding that in another unit... it's not usual. Lots of space, closets, bathrooms... super clean!
Kitchen is awesome, well appointed, 2 gourmet cooks in our party had no problems whatsoever (one of them travels with their own knives as if they are Gordon Ramsey or something-rolls eyes).
The fitness center, which two of used daily, was only a few minutes away... the site's facilities are kept extremely clean and tidy.
Although we didn't use the pool much (with such a calm, beautiful salt water gulf at our disposal, the pool sort of lost out), the indoor and outdoor pools are kept very clean.
Great place and exceptional host (as she's more of a host than property owner/manager)... we have already recommended this property to a family who is interested.
Thank you Janie... we have been vacation on the gulf for several years now (Marco Island, Sannibel, Siesta Key) and it was all of our first time to the panhandle (including Miami native in-laws) who all exclaimed this was our best vacation and location yet! Your attention to detail most certainly helped this happen!
