The Location of the Unit was misleading based on the pictures and writeup. The river was across a freeway. The interior of the home had many plastic plants that were dusty and made it hard to breathe. Also, the unit was overwhelmed with Personal photos, making it hard to feel like a vacation spot.
People are great to talk to, and the unit we stayed in is very nice. The pool is large with lots of places to set. The owners are very good to talk to when you have any questions. We will be back next year. GOOD PLACE IN FLORIDA.
Although our primary interest was to enjoy warm weather for a couple winter months, this condo would be great year round. It was nicely furnished, well located near shopping and sporting areas, and was well equipped with all the kitchen gadgets needed. We stayed for eight weeks enjoying what Florida has to offer. We spent time fishing Myakka River on the facility's pier, soaking in the pool, and taking long walks and bike rides around the neighborhood. There is also a public fishing pier within walking distance. Englewood Beach and Manasota Key are nearby so some days were spent with beach activities and collecting sharks teeth. Several wild life preserves are close by where you can see gators, birds of all types, and the jungles of the subtropics. We met many friendly people, mostly retired folks, who either own their condos or are guests who come back annualy. Jacqueline's condo was just what we needed to have a lovely home away from home this winter. I would definitely recommend renting from Jacqueline if spending some time in Florida is of interest to you.
We felt at home the moment we walked through the door. We enjoyed walking every afternoon in the very safe neighborhood. We finished that off with a walk to the condos pier. We sat and watched a dolphin near the bridge, a pelican swooping to get a meal, and many other birds. My husband enjoyed the public pier across the street. He met several people as they gave him hints for a good day of fishing. The month of January went quickly. Jacqueline was friendly and a fantastic owner who truly cares about her renters enjoying their stay.
We have stayed here several times now. We love the location, the condo is beautiful and very well maintained by the owner. We could not ask for a more perfect place to stay. Boat Rental is 5 minutes away @ Goodtimes Boat Rental, supermarket 5 minutes away, and the harbor is right outside your door. We love coming here and plan to return again.
