Mar 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Week in AMI Clean, well appointed, and roomy for two people. Would have appreciated a dresser in bedroom to store underwear, swimsuits, etc. Also more hooks for hanging towels in bath would have been helpful. Pool and spa nice, but did have issues with heat in both. Tile area around pool needed a good cleaning, rust spots and various dark areas from foliage. Did not like the location but never having been to island was not familiar with where to stay. Way, way too much traffic. Could not even consider renting bikes because of the traffic. Weather just Ok. Been to Sarasota and Siesta Key many times and weather at this time of year seemed to be always warmer and sunny! WaterFront restaurant great! ##### Margaret M.

Very well presenting property which looked beautiful both inside and outside. Gorgeous heated pool/spa in the back along with gorgeous landscaping that created a wonderful area to spend a few hours each day. The interior was great with all new Stainless steel appliances, new tile floors, attractive furniture, modern fixtures, just a beautiful place to spend our vacation. Everything was fresh, new, bright and clean.
