We enjoyed our stay so much that we wished we never had to leave! Perfect location. Beautiful pool. So many beach and pool supplies including wagons, coolers, beach toys, floats, chairs, etc. Very responsive anytime we needed assistance. We hope we will be lucky enough to stay here again in the future!

Fish Stix is in a great location just a few steps from one of Florida’s best beaches. The pool/hot tub is clean and having a private pool is a great amenity. The house is spacious and modern, with five bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. We had our three adult kids, their spouses, and our three-year-old granddaughter stay with us and we had a blast. We never felt crowded. We highly recommend it!

The location was absolutely wonderful! We barely used the pool since the beach was so close. But we enjoyed it when we did. The house had plenty of room for all of us. Thank you for making us feel like we were home.

All I can say, it was the best house we have stayed in on Holmes Beach! It had everything. Great kitchen to work in with very good cookware, plenty of dishes, all needed utensils. Ice was always an issue but it usually is when you have a lot of people. We just bought bags. The walk to the beach was so close and you can setup wherever you want, not like 30-A! Pool was great, bring insect repellant, it's Florida and pools seem to attract them. The Hot Tub was used every day. Plenty of beach chairs were provided, listing said umbrellas, but it is a tent. Part of our group came a day late, so they brought our umbrellas. The elevator was handy for moving luggage from floor to floor and people with bad knees! Lots of sitting room. It overall is a great house! The rental company was awesome! Definitely will rent again!

Wonderful family vacation

Our experience was great! When we arrived, the house was all we hoped for and more! The rental was clean and everything was in great shape. We especially appreciated all of the beach items already there. The pool and covered patio area were fantastic to have! We only had a few small issues and all were addressed and handled promptly.

Great family get together house

Loved having 3 king size beds and en suites since we had 3 grown children and 2 spouses plus 2 toddler children. Plenty of space to move around. Having the pool and the lower level hang out area was also a plus. Plenty of sand toys for the kids and the wagons were awesome. We also rented a canopy but found one in the garage but really needed the 2nd one anyway with 9 people. The owners have thought about everything and provided nearly everything you would need. Loved the place and would go back again for sure.

Fabulous Fish Stix!

Loved every aspect about this fabulous property! It really feels like home, from the minute that you walk in. Loved all the beach access of wagons, toys, boogie boards and coolers. The elevator was one of the reasons for choosing this house! Perfect for ease, convivence and comfort! Kitchen was well stocked for dishes, pans etc. Comfortable beds! Pool and Spa were the perfect size and great way to end the day! Loved every day here! If it ever goes on the market to buy, I will be first in line with a check in hand!

Our whole family still talks about this house

Everything about this house was amazing. The house was clean, the appliances were all up to date and easy to use, anything we could possibly need was stocked in the kitchen. The beach was so close that if we forgot something it was quick to go retrieve it. The hot tub heated fairly quickly, the grill was great to have. We went on to rent another house close to Disney after this and it was so hard to compare to. The whole time at the next house we regretted ever leaving this one. The area was quiet and homey. I went running in the mornings and felt safe by myself. The house and this area we fell in love with. We had family that came to visit from around Florida and they even said they didn’t even know about this town and loved it as well. If/when we ever come back to Florida this is we’re we will stay again, the communication leading up to the visit was super friendly and easy and same once we got there. We didn’t get to use the elevator more than twice cause one of us didn’t shut the gate inside it and as a safety precaution it won’t work if the gates not shut but we never bothered the property management about it, but I’m sure they would have come right out if we had. We used the steps as our cardio workouts instead. Lol. I can’t say enough great things about this house and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone

The location was absolutely perfect! Steps from the beach! The property was clean, plenty of linens for 7 of us. The beds were super comfortable! Plenty of beach chairs and a really handy cart to haul everything! Any issues we had (the refrigerator wasn’t working properly the first day) were immediately handled . Would highly recommend!

Really wonderful house, great vacation!

We absolutely loved the house, for 5 adults and 3 kids it was perfect! Tastefully decorated and super comfortable, fully stocked kitchen and great outdoor spaces! So close to the beach which was awesome! My only complaint was there were so many tall trees that there is absolutely no sun by the pool. If they cut the trees back it would be much nicer. Other than that it was a perfect vacation.

A little disappointed

Property was very nice but upon arrival we found that housekeeping definitely needs a nudge. Air returns were literally caked with dust and the showers had mold/mildew growing in them. We notified the rental company and they sent the housekeeper back who was extremely rude to a special needs child and the adults. I wound up buying cleaner and cleaning the showers myself. Management did send gift cards for dinner but unfortunately that doesn't offset having to clean your vacation rental that you paid over $7,000 for the week.

Perfect!

Our family recently rented this beautiful home and could not have been more pleased. Pictures don't do it justice--it is much closer to the beach than it appears and you can see the gulf's water perfectly from both the front and back of the house. Everything inside is as perfect as the pictures show! The house itself had everything we would need for a week to keep us comfortable including SO MANY beach and pools toys, which our two toddlers just loved! There were even fantastic beach chairs for everyone, and a wagon to haul it all down there and back. It also has an elevator, which I swore I wouldn't use out of laziness but with two wet toddlers wanting to nap after a long day at the beach, it was the perfect amenity to get us upstairs and to our room quickly. One of us forgot to shut the gate getting out once and it locked up on us. I called to let them know and within minutes someone was there to unlock/fix it and get us back in shape. Great house, great pool, great location, great company to rent from.
