We loved it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location and it was pretty peaceful even being on the main road. We can’t wait to come back. The washer/dryer just needs to be balanced but it did its job and personally the beds were a bit too springy. But we loved our stay.

Great Property !

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is on a perfect location right across the street from the beach! Was thinking with all the traffic on the road and parking for public right across the street it would be loud... but seriously so quiet you didn't realize you were sitting on a busy road! It was fantastic to watch the sunset from the beach and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning in front of the large window facing the beach. We would have loved a small porch off the bedroom etc that we could have sat outside on (there is a small area between the two doors for the duplex but sitting chairs there would have been strange with neighbors going in and out.

AMI vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a great vacation. Pros condo was clean, and location was great. Property management was prompt to fix furnace problem on Sunday when it occurred. Cons there was little to no current info in the condo, no info on where to put garbage, when it was to be picked up. There was no info on how to turn outside lights on and off. The washer was barely useable, during rinse and drain cycles it would go out of balance and bang very loudly, sounds like it's coming through the wall.

text communications with host were timely and provided enough info to access the property, once in unit we identified an issue with heating and communicated this via text, host responded however no service personnel attended. unit is in a great location but has issues with wear and tear, fans don't have chains to adjust speed etc, upper bathroom fan didn't work, lights on the exterior of building don't work, causing a dangerous situation when arriving or departing after sunset. Shower faucet was hard to adjust for temperature probably needs a new cartridge, shower head was awful and I replaced it with a better one with a removeable hand wand, way better. Garbage bags left for trash didn't fit the garbage pail, had to use our own. Beds and linens were good and pillows were of good quality. Its listed as pet friendly but there was dog hair on carpets and blankets. I would not stay there again, the location is good however the unit need TLC

Dolphin Dance

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Generally the property was in good condition. The walls of the condo were kind of dirty, scuffed. Could use some painting. I was satisfied w my stay but very unsatisfied in the access to the beach. During our stay our access was blocked due to construction. It would have been nice to have been alerted to this and maybe a recommendation of a more beach accessible property. This access is our primary reason for choosing Dolphin Dance as we have been here more than a few times before. Properly management was good in that they replaced a broken beach umbrella for us promptly.

Long in the tooth

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was long in the tooth, janky, rinky dink. It felt like "death by a thousand cuts". Nothing major but too many smaller items that contributed to our overall frustration, time required, and a bad experience. It was obvious to us that the owner nor the property manager had spent any recent, useful time in the unit in order to identify and fix the items that needed attention. We provided the property manager with a list of 13 items that contributed to this bad experience. A few examples include malfunctioning, older appliances that should be replaced and intermittent cable and wifi service. The cable and wifi is shared with the neighboring condo. It is important to note that the location is excellent and the unit was clean. The property manager was responsive but still should be more active working with the owner to get these items updated.

Not the best but not the worst

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is good you have to fight traffic to get across to the beach but not horrible it’s only steps away. The unit itself is nice but upon arrival we immediately noticed that the unit needed deeper cleaning. The coffee pot had burnt coffee in it, the bathroom toilets had splatter and stains under the lid and seat. The staff responded immediately though.

home away from home

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We did not want to leave. We had everything we needed. Having keyless entry was wonderful because we didn't have to worry about loosing it. There were chairs to use and towel for the beach. The little outdoor shower to hose off was great. We were just right across the street from the beach so we spent every morning and evening with our feet in the sand. And the sand was so soft and being white it didn't burn our feet. We went during spring break and it was suprisingly not as crowded as we worried it would be. I didn't worry about leaving our thing on the beach while we played in the water. We loved the strip of little shops to walk to. We did travel down Florida along the Gulf to Venice as well to look for shark teeth and up to the tip of the island to find sand dollars. We even caught crabs and watched dolphins fishing near the edege of the beach! It was so much better than I imagined and that says a lot. Our children thanked us daily for planning such a wonderful trip. The condo was clean and the bedrooms worked fine for our family. We had an issue with the garbage disposal when we first got there so I sent an email. There was someone there within 30 mins and fixed it! It was hard to leave and it will be hard to stay anywhere else after.

Blender did not work. Pans were all bent did not sit on burners. Blinds in livingroom missing slats. NO window covering in bathroom. Lost an hour waiting for cable company to come. Thursday the AC stopped working. I will say the HVAC company was quick to responde.

Great location...thats about it.

Very disappointed with this property. If you value the location and only the location, this property is for you. The place is much smaller than anticipated and is much more worn out than what I like to stay at. First, it is missing many of the vertical window panels on multiple windows, and everyone can see in. The vents are filthy!! Not sure what the cleaning people do as there were toothpaste marks on the faucet in the bathroom. The furniture is not very comfortable, the carpeting is old and matted down, the walls have scrapes, knicks and generally not in good shape! The shower is small and has a rusty shower rod that gets rust all over your hands as the shower curtain doesn't move smoothly !! They supply no hair dryer...the first place I have ever stayed at that didn't have a dryer. There were also no coffee filters. For how inexpensive filters are you would think for spending a significant amount of money a week they could supply that, so off to the store we had to go again. The toaster also takes three times to get toast brown. We ended up leaving a day early as we were so disappointed. I will not be staying here again.
