Smaller than pictures. Outside around dock it was not kept up and dirty. Nothing special. Everything was provided but a few items were either broken or not in good condition to use. The solid plus was how easy it was to get out of the canal to the gulf. I also very much enjoyed the bathtub and the kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Overall we would not come back to this property.

Enjoyed our stay!
Location was good/nice/quiet with the exception that it was at least 25 minutes away from anything we wanted to do. I should've checked to see how far from the Beach and Siesta Key this location was. When we arrived the property was clean and very nice. The beds were so comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Communication with the owner was a breeze. I only had one complaint and that was that the sliding glass doors to the pool were very hard to open and close. Other than that our stay was great.

Perfect!
Very clean! I would stay here again with my kids and grandkids. The door to the pool is heavy so we felt safe having the grandkids sleep in that area. Grandson loved watching the big planes fly overhead. The sound was not bad. I’m very picky, used to travel for work, and need a great space. This is it!

Great location
Loved our time at this house! Very clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were updated. Having a pool and hot tub along with the use of the kayaks was a huge plus! Close to the beaches and shopping made it convenient to not stay at a hotel. The host was very responsive and went out of her way to accommodate us! Will definitely recommend and come back!

We had a great time
The pool, hot-tub and screened in patio were great. The view from the canal that leads to the ocean is beautiful. I enjoyed kayaking out to the ocean, it was a wonderful experience. House is spotless and clean. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we need for our stay. We appreciate the cooler and 4 beach chairs, came in handly for beach day. We would definitely book it again.

Perfect Little Gulf Coast Getaway
Unique little house with everything we were looking for on this beach trip. Less than a 20 minute drive to multiple beaches. The canal behind the house was a definite bonus as we got to interact with some manatees. The pool and deck were also bonuses as we spent most of our time outside soaking up the sun or hanging out in the pool. Although we didn’t use the hot tub, we knew it was working and is another nice amenity. The only suggestion I could recommend is that the pool area could use a good pressure washing and the inside floors (while appearing to be clean) would often leave the bottoms of our feet black. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely stay again.

Good location
I liked the location, close to beaches. It was nice having kayaks to use(easier to get into them during high tide). When we arrived the pool was dirty, it got cleaned the 3rd day of our trip. We ended up buying tongs for the grill and some extra toilet paper. Other than that the house was clean and it was nice having a pool, hottub and kyaks. We definitely got use out of the amenities.

Great vacation home!!
We had a great mini vacation. House is better than the description. It was clean and comfortable. Kids were fascinated with the Murphy bed bedroom setup. We enjoyed the hot-tub and pool. Property manager was responsive and helpful. Kayaked around the canal and out to the gulf with my kids and they really enjoyed the experience. Location is great, close to everything, including beach. Definitely recommend.

Restful stay for multigenerational group
Pros:
1) Beautiful outdoor space with clean (albeit chilly) pool and (nice and warm) hot tub
2) Photos of canal and availability of kayaks were accurate and much appreciated during our stay. You can kayak in a circle out to the gulf and admire the views and wildlife.
3) Property managers were responsive and helpful.
4) Master was large with comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Other two bedrooms were small but comfortable and the
additional bathroom had been recently renovated. There were plenty of clean bath towels.
5) Appliances were modern and worked well.
6) Neighborhood was very quiet
Cons:
1) Contrary to property listing, the living room sofa is NOT really a "sleep sofa/futon", so there is less functional available bed space than advertised. There was an odd flat sofa without a back that was not suitable for sleeping or sitting. Looking at it in the pictures, it appears that it is grey sofa next to the window, so I guess the side folds up somehow (it was flat when we arrived)... this was not clear and it just didn't work as a bed or a sitting area.
2) The kitchen lacked enough cutlery for 7 people (knives) and there were no large mixing/salad bowls. There was only one tea towel which we washed several times during the week.
3) The property is under a flight path to the Sarasota airport so can be noisy at times. This was not an issue at night.
4) The house is on a single level, but has several single steps and uneven surfaces which could pose an issue for elderly or disabled guests.
5) There was no light in the third bedroom with the Murphy bed and the door knob fell off.

The property managers handled the issues promptly but there should have been no issues.
The sheets in the master bedroom had a large amount of body hair trapped in them. There were two extra blankets in that room of which one was quite dirty.
The hot tub did not heat and there were no instructions on how to change it to a mode where it would heat - we had to research the model online and figure it out our selves.
The property managers changed the MB sheets the second day and left us a nice pie, flowers and card for my sister's birthday celebration (the reason we were in Florida).
The bed in the third bedroom is a murphy bed and extremely hard/uncomfortable so hard that we thought it was a box spring for a bit.
A couple of lounge chairs near the pool would be a great addition. The table and chairs at poolside were quite comfortable.
