Was concerned about it being too close to the roadway but we honestly didn't hear any traffic. Prop manager was great and easy to work with. Had a small concern before checking in and the issue was resolved by the time we reached the house. Great location in proximity to Siesta beach. Supplied beach items was great too. Looking forward to being able to stay there again in the future. ##### Todd H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicholas R. Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Nice inside, But...... This place is very nice inside and well equipped, but it is on a main road with constant traffic all the time. Inside was nice, but the half drunk beer can left next to the bed didn't give a great first impression.I had a good stay, but was disappointed at the end. I left the place in great condition having cleaned everything and it was just me there........but despite leaving at the required time, I was still hassled to leave at the end because the cleaners arrived before their stated time. I also left an item there by mistake and despite asking the owner about it, I have been ignored. ##### Nicholas R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashleigh L.
