This place was awesome! It worked great for my wife and I on our honeymoon! Size was perfect for 2 people. I wouldn’t suggest anymore than that. The biggest issue we had was parking. There was plenty of space but being on the main road, it was very difficult to pull out every time. And with being close to the road comes noise as well. The walk to the beach was easy with the provided beach chairs and cart. Overall we had a great time and would suggest this place to any couple looking to enjoy themselves in the area!

Week in AMI

Clean, well appointed, and roomy for two people. Would have appreciated a dresser in bedroom to store underwear, swimsuits, etc. Also more hooks for hanging towels in bath would have been helpful. Pool and spa nice, but did have issues with heat in both. Tile area around pool needed a good cleaning, rust spots and various dark areas from foliage. Did not like the location but never having been to island was not familiar with where to stay. Way, way too much traffic. Could not even consider renting bikes because of the traffic. Weather just Ok. Been to Sarasota and Siesta Key many times and weather at this time of year seemed to be always warmer and sunny! WaterFront restaurant great!

What a wonderful place to stay!

Very well presenting property which looked beautiful both inside and outside. Gorgeous heated pool/spa in the back along with gorgeous landscaping that created a wonderful area to spend a few hours each day. The interior was great with all new Stainless steel appliances, new tile floors, attractive furniture, modern fixtures, just a beautiful place to spend our vacation. Everything was fresh, new, bright and clean. We have been vacationing in Florida for almost 20 years, this was our favorite!!!A communication, very/very clean, walking distance to beaches and shops, very happy!!!

Amazing vacation spot !

Very cute and cozy vacation house, freshly remodeled and super clean. Amazing location, steps from the beach, shopping strip and restaurants. Free shuttle throughout the island. Not even mentioning the breathtaking backyard with heated saltwater pool and spa, where we enjoyed our evenings. Highly recommended!
