Richard and his property manager, Jules, were excellent. Incredibly responsive! The home is well laid out, clean and, in many respects, brand new. The highlight is the backyard overlooking the canal. The gazebo with the fire pit is awesome! We ate many meals there. The neighborhood is quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed biking, walking and running from the house. Many restaurants are nearby.
Getting to the beach is a bit tricky. Although only a bit over a mile away, it's not easily walkable given the bridge crossing. Parking at beach access 12 is very limited so you need to go to the main Siesta Key beach. That lot is large, but still fills up during the height of the season (February, in our case.) Best to go to the beach early or late.
Overall, an excellent experience and highly recommended!
