The property needs a complete deep clean (walls, doors, trim and baseboards need significant cleaning). Owners needs to remove family pictures from walls, update linens and towels. Coordinate and update some decor.
Loved the security and most of the available on-site amenities. Mostly quiet and peaceful location. Close to restaurants, attractions and grocery shopping.
The unit next door was being renovated the entire time I was there so I constantly heard power tools all day long. I was not informed about this before I agree to rent.
During the stay there was a plumbing issue and we had to relocate at 1am to a hotel for the night.
I feel that the owner and the rental company were unsympathetic to any of the issues and I was only offered a pittance of a credit towards the thousands of dollars that I paid.
Between watching the beautiful sunsets (complete with fabled green flashes) and observing the manatees in the canal there was plenty of local fun to be had. The internet was good and the pools refreshing. With direct access to the bay, it's a great location for boaters. And for those that love orchids, there are plenty to see in their natural habitat. About the only negative is some road noise from US 1. But despite that, we can highly recommend the place ... we certainly enjoyed our stay!
