The positive: Very close to beach and Siesta Key, nice pool and patio area in back. Ample towels provided. Good amount of space indoors. When contacted, Property Management was polite and tried to get problems resolved.
Not so positive: Prop mgt was called for various issues during the week ( we rarely contact prop mgt after check-in for rentals over the years). They always responded and would eventually handle situation. It may not have been that day - e.g. Comcast couldn’t come till day 3 to get WiFi going.
Parking issue resolved same day . Note- Other renters in area didn’t heed Pool House private parking signs.
The Pool House is nestled between single unit rentals on either side ( Tropical Breeze); we could hear and see constant coming and going of renters. This can be disturbing , particularly at night when you have children in your group trying to sleep. We assumed the the Pool House was on a street with other rental HOUSES.
Because of close proximity to house, when going out our back door to pool one afternoon , there were 3 people at our pool area assuming it was available to them! This happened earlier in the day too. They left , of course, after realizing pool was not for their use, but still unsettling for us. Property management was called and had someone put a lock back on outside door ( May have been removed by maintenance , don’t know). Why isn’t a more permanent solution in place to provide safety? Better signage for privacy definitely needed.
Other Suggestions: Thorough deep
cleaning , updating of inside of house, change out stained cushions in dining room. Some other issues were annoying , but we didn’t want to keep pestering prop mgt. Providing a bigger picture showing location In vrbo description would be helpful to families. For the expensive price tag for a one week rental, expected a true “luxury” home.
