We enjoyed our stay at this beach house located right across the street from the beach. Easy to walk to shops and restaurants. I had read that we didn’t need a car and could take the trolley, but we didn’t even need the trolley—the island is small enough that it’s easy to get around, and after going for a run along the beach, I saw that the beach was beautiful for miles, and looks pretty much the same. Didn’t see a reason to visit a different area or beach via trolley. The beach house is small, but cleverly designed for efficient use of space. Good price for two bedrooms. It’s priced right compared to other nearby homes that are larger…for the money, I think it was a good value. Not luxurious, but a clean, tidy and well-designed space, great for our small family of four. The bedding was very comfortable. We were concerned about whether or not walking to the beach would be a problem, but it was no problem at all. It’s a very short walk, like 5 minutes, and beach is lovely. Only problem was red tide during our stay, but this was out of anyone’s control. We still enjoyed the beach, and were oblivious util the last couple
of days we were there. On the last day, we drove our rental car to the Ringling Museum. Highly recommend.
