Dec 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location excellent. Cozy home. We enjoyed being minutes away from siesta key. Parking was free and easy to find for the beach too during November. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with a cute downtown shop area a block away along with other keys shopping stores. The home was decorated beautiful and has so many amenities from soaps, extra blankets, beach towels and even a hand mixer that I used for Thanksgiving. Showers were decent. Downsides were there are maintenance things that need attention with it being an older home. The pool we were unable to use because the heater never warmed the pool just the sun did and took all week. They did come out day one right away to try to remedy and were very attentive to it! Very kind property owners that truly cared. The beds were hard and adults couldn’t sleep on well. My husband slept on the couch. Other things were minor maintenance items such as blinds, tv, and slow draining shower. I am sure the property owners will take care of them. Only reason I wouldn’t return was bed comfort. If the beds are upgraded, we would definitely stay again ##### Michelle T.
